Do you know The Kashmir Files' Day 1 box-office collection is not amongst top 5 releases in pandemic times, see list
The Kashmir Files has cemented its position as a box-office blockbuster, but the day one earnings of the film weren't as impressive. The film had just minted Rs 3.55 crore on its first day and has now entered Rs 200 crore club. Several other films including Sooryavanshi, RRR and Bachchhan Paandey opened to impressive first-day collections amid the pandemic.
Top 5 films with highest day-one collection amid the pandemic
Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files has received commercial success and critical acclaim. The film continues to perform well at the box office despite stiff competition from the recently released film, RRR. So far, The Kashmir Files has minted over Rs 219 crore and is steadily inching towards Rs 250 crore mark.
But while the film has cemented its position as a blockbuster, the Day 1 collection of The Kashmir Files wasn't as impressive. On its release (March 11), The Kashmir Files earned only Rs 3.55 crore. With its Day 1 earnings, the film doesn't feature on the list of Top 5 Day 1 box-office earnings of Indian films.
