The Kashmir Files box office collection Day 6: Vivek Agnihotri's film marches towards Rs 100-crore mark

The Kashmir Files has smashed all records at the box office. It reportedly earned Rs 80 crore in six days, and would likely enter the Rs 100-crore club this weekend.

Vivek Agnihotri's directorial venture, The Kashmir Files, has done the unthinkable! The film has smashed all records at the box office in its first week. Big releases like Prabhas' Radhe Shyam and Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi haven't affected it at all as huge crowd of people have flocked to the theatres to watch The Kashmir Files. On Day 6, the film minted Rs 19.30 crore reportedly. The total box office collection now stands at Rs 80 crore. The Kashmir Files, which released on March 11, is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus during the Kashmir insurgency in 1990. The film stars Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumaar, Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Joshi.

The Kashmir Files earned Rs 18 crore at the worldwide box office on Day 5. And on Day 6, it showed tremendous growth. The film reportedly clocked in Rs 19.30 crore on its sixth day, taking the total box office collection to Rs 79.50 crore worldwide. The second-week collection of Vivek Agnihotri’s film is expected to be more than what the film earns this week. We are sure it would enter the Rs 100-crore club soon. All eyes are now set on the Holi holiday as well as the second weekend since its release. It would also be interesting to watch the Anupam Kher-starrer compete with Akshay Kumar's Bachchhan Pandey that releases on March 18.

The Kashmir Files tells the true story of brutal sufferings endured by Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, during the Kashmir insurgency. It is a true story, based on video interviews of the first generation victims of The Kashmir Genocide of Kashmiri Pandit Community. It’s a heart-wrenching narrative of the pain, suffering, struggle and trauma of Kashmiri pandits and questions eye-opening facts about democracy, religion, politics and humanity.

The Kashmir Files' cast features Anupam Kher as Pushkarnath, Mithun Chakraborty as Brahma Dutt, Darshan Kumar as Krishna Pandit, Pallavi Joshi as Radhika Menon, Bhasha Sumbali as Shraddha Pandit and Chinmay Mandlekar as Farooq Malik aka Bitta, among others.
