The film The Kashmir Files, released on 11 March 2022, is getting immense love from the audience. Anupam Kher and Mithun Chakraborty starrer The Kashmir Files is directed by Vivek Agnihotri. Although the film started slow at the box office, but the film has grown rapidly and has earned around Rs 60 crore so far. The film is expected to earn even faster, but in the meantime Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, Jacqueline Fernandez and Arshad Warsi on Friday (March 18) Starrer film Bachchan Pandey is releasing. So now the question arises whether the release of Bachchan Pandey will put a brake on the pace of box office collection of The Kashmir Files or not?
Akshay Kumar has good box office record
According to a report in The Indian Express, trade analyst Girish Johar said, “Akshay Kumar’s films are known for earning well at the box office. Bachchan Pandey is a core commercial entertainer. The film is expected to open well on Friday. The film can earn around Rs 14-15 crore on the first day. Akshay Kumar’s last release film Suryavanshi earned Rs 196 crore in the middle of the Corona period.
Akshay’s target audience is not fixed
Girish Johar further said, ‘After the end of the lockdown due to Corona, Akshay Kumar is the first actor who took a big film to the bell bottom theaters. He has a habit that he releases 3-4 films in a year and entertains the audience. Akshay’s films are of different genres, so it would be wrong to say that he has a fixed target audience.
Bachchan Pandey will have to try
These days, The Kashmir Files is getting strong support from the audience and describing the collection of the film as a bang, Girish said, ‘No one would have thought of such earnings of The Kashmir Files. No one thought that on Working Monday, the film can earn 4-5 times more than its opening day. Bachchan Pandey will have to struggle a lot to compete with The Kashmir Files. If the film starts well then it will also do well because The Kashmir Files and Bachchan Pandey are two very different films.
