Vivek Agnihotri, Anupam Kher's The Kashmir Files crosses Rs 250 cr mark at box office

Despite facing stiff competition from Jr NTR and Ram Charan’s RRR , Anupam Kher’s The Kashmir Files has managed to hold well at the box office and has now entered the elite club of Rs 250 crore. In its fifth weekend, the film raked in Rs 2.50 crore and currently stands with a grand total of Rs 250.73 crore.

Trade expert  Taran Adarsh  shared the official collections on his Twitter account and also revealed that The Kashmir Files is now the 13th highest-grossing Hindi film of all time after Baahubali 2, Dangal, Sanju, Tiger Zinda Hai, PK, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan, Padmaavat, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Kabir Singh, War and Dhoom 3.

Since Yash and Sanjay Dutt-starrer KGF 2 and Thalapathy Vijay, Pooja Hegde’s Beast are releasing this week, The Kashmir Files will face a solid screen crunch in the domestic market.
