It seems like "The Kashmir Files' will soon cross the benchmark of 100 cr mark in India. The film had limited buzz and there were minimal promotions, but after release, the audience's word-of-mouth had helped the film to become a rage and boosted the collection with full force. Vivek's film has also overtaken Prabhas' mega-budget 'Radhe Shyam' and became the first choice of filmgoers. 

Next week, Akshay Kumar is bringing his masala entertainer 'Bachchhan Pandey,' and if we take the trend into consideration, then 'The Kashmir Files' can affect Akshay's film. Vivek Agnihotri's directorial is the second instalment in his trilogy. 'The Taskent Files' was the first film of the series, and it earned nationwide acclaim. Agnihotri will conclude the series with 'The Delhi Files,' and people will look upon the upcoming film with higher expectations.
