The collections of the film, which is a part of trilogy of films on various burning political events in the country, are commendable considering that it is a film with a lesser known star cast and one which released on just 700 cinema screens across  India,  much less compared to the other release of the week  Radhe Shyam,  which released to a tremendous hype.

Trade sources said that the film saw a 300 per cent jump in its earnings on its second day in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Collections in Gujarat , Punjab and   Mumbai also saw a sharp increase on its second day.

The good response to the film led its makers and distributors to increased its number of screens to 2000 yesterday

Trade experts say that the film is likely to witness a further jump in its collections on Sunday.  It is turning out to be a surprise hit.

Produced by Zee Studios and written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri, The Kashmir Files is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits during the insurgency in  Kashmir .

The film stars Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Joshi in key roles.

The Kashmir Files is the second in the trilogy of films , beginning with The Tashkent Files, which was based in the mysterious death of former prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. The third in the trilogy is The Delhi Files, based in the anti Sikh riots of 1984.

It opened to mixed reviews in India.  Critics have praised the performance of Anupam kher in the film.

The film was initially scheduled to release theatrically worldwide on January 26 2022, coinciding with  Republic Day  but was postponed due to the third wave of COVID-19 caused by the Omicron variant spread.
