'The Kashmir Files' creates history, Day 8 box-office collection at par with 'Baahubali 2'

Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri's blockbuster 'The Kashmir Files' is continuing its winning streak at the box office. It made history on the eighth day of its box-office collection.

The movie has minted a total of Rs 116.45 crore in the domestic market after it collected Rs 19.15 crore on Friday (Day 8).

Movie analyst Taran Adarsh said that the Anupam Kher-starrer's box-office collection of Day 8 is at par with business done by SS Rajamouli's 'Baahubali 2' of Rs 19.75 crore.


The movie has crossed the record previously held by Aamir Khan's iconic hit 'Dangal' of Rs 18.59 crore.


Sharing the movie's highlights in another post, Adarsh said he is confident that 'The Kashmir Files' will 'comfortably cross' Rs 150 crore in its second weekend.

The film critic confirmed that the advance bookings made for the film during this weekend are phenomenal after recording its highest single day total on Day 8.


'The Kashmir Files' is now being dubbed in four regional languages - Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

The movie is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the 1990s. It was released theatrically on March 11, and entered the Rs 100 crore club on Friday.

Besides Kher, it features Darshan Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Joshi.

'The Kashmir Files' has also been declared tax-free in states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Karnataka, Tripura and Goa.

Agnihotri, who has kicked up a political storm with his movie, has been given 'Y' category security with CRPF commando cover. Seven to eight commandos of the CRPF will guard the film-maker round the clock across India.
