Bollywood’s low-budget, reality-based film The Kashmir Files is marching towards the ₹250 crore box office collection mark, and we expect this Anupam Kher and Mithun Chakraborty starrer to achieve this milestone by the end of this week, which is tremendous. Recently released S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR impacted The Kashmir Files’ box office business, but the film is still going very strong in the Hindi belt. Although RRR is set to be a much bigger grosser, in terms of overall profit percentage, The Kashmir Files is going to be the clear winner.
Recently, a lot of controversy was sparked in Delhi due to The Kashmir Files, as Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called it a film full of lies on the floor of the Delhi Assembly. Kejriwal made these comments while taking a dig at the BJP. In response, the BJP protested all across Delhi, and the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) even put up posters against CM Kejriwal.

Jammu and Delhi are the two key markets currently generating the most revenue for The Kashmir Files. The recent controversy in Delhi regarding the film has helped its business a lot in the capital city, as its overall occupancy rate suddenly increased there. Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are also contributing significantly because The Kashmir Files is tax-free in these states. Thanks to the support of the respective state governments, the film is producing strong numbers in these regions.
The nineteenth day collection of The Kashmir Files in India is approximately ₹3 crore.
