The Kashmir Files’ 200 Crores Come As A Saving Grace For Bollywood (Hindi Cinema) VS South’s Pan India Films?

The Kashmir Files has just crossed the 200 crore mark and even before that it became a case study of how certain movies are beyond any calculation, prediction. Defying every trade pundit’s ‘punt’ on how well this movie could do, it has crossed every boundary to be a super-duper hit at the box office.

Collecting over 900% ROI (return on investment), this project has to be in the record-books for bringing back such a monumental amount of profit for the makers. But, can we say The Kashmir Files has in a way saved the day for Bollywood (read: Hindi Cinema) after films like 83, Antim kind of surrendered before biggies like Pushpa, Spider-Man: No Way Home?

Yes, Sooryavanshi did bring back the ‘commercial’ hope for the makers but the mixed reviews did come as a sign of warning regarding the content being served. With movies like Master and Pushpa continuing the Baahubali-KGF legacy, south movies did actually take the driver’s seat to rule the box office even in the Northern sections of the country.
