A tough competition is going on between 'The Kashmir Files' and 'Radhe Shyam' on the box office. Both the films were released on last Friday and have attracted the audience towards the theatres not just because of the cast but also a powerful storyline. After months of lockdown, things are finally coming to normal and people are stepping out of their houses to witness the magic of the big screen. The box office figures have also started pouring in raising the excitement of not just the makers but also the fans. Speaking about the first-weekend collection of the two films, Anupam Kher and Mithun Chakraborty starrer movie is clearly a winner. Prabhas and Pooja Hegde's movie lags behind and struggles to make a place in the hearts of the audience.
Creating a new record, the exodus drama has shown phenomenal growth at the box office of metros, mass belts, multiplexes and single screens. The opening weekend total is terrific across the board as it rakes in Rs 27.15 crores. It earned Rs 15.10 crores on Day 3 i.e. Sunday. Not just India, the movie highlighting the plight of Kashmiri pandits has resonated well across the globe as it has made Rs 2.15 crores at the global box office.
Speaking about the romantic thriller, the film has no doubt worked wonders in the South but has clearly failed to impress in the North. The movie started slow in terms of collection and has raked in Rs 9 crore in two days. Speaking about the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana box office, Radha Krishna Kumar directorial garnered close to Rs 11 Crore, making the total collection of the film Rs 48.81 Crore.
