'The Kashmir Files' box office day 10: Collection nears ₹175 cr after highest 1-day figure

An amount of Rs 200 crore is a sureshot milestone for The Kashmir Files, and it remains to be seen how far it would go in its lifetime run at the ticket windows. This was after the Anupam Kher-Mithun Chakraborty starrer, on the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, grew further on Sunday to record its highest-single day figure in its run.

The movie witnessed a magnificent second weekend at the box office. It has thus gone to record one of the highest second-weekends of all time.

The film shot off tremendously after collecting in the Rs 18-19 crore throughout the last week, first by recording its highest single-day figure of Rs 24.80 crore on Saturday, and then bettering that on Sunday.
