MUMBAI: The Kashmir Files has checked another box on its list of achievements at the box office becoming the first Hindi film to cross the ₹250-crore-mark at the domestic box office since the Covid-19 pandemic began. The film, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, took just over a month to reach this landmark. The film is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley in the early 1990s and was made on a budget of just ₹15 crore.

On Monday, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted about the film crossing this landmark. He wrote, "#TheKashmirFiles is the first #Hindi film to cross ₹ 250 cr [post pandemic]...”.
The Kashmir Files stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, and Darshan Kumaar, who are supported by an ensemble cast.
With a ₹250 crore domestic business, The Kashmir Files stands head and shoulders above all Indian releases post-pandemic. In fact, the only other Hindi film to even cross ₹200 crores in this period is the Hindi-dubbed version of SS Rajamouli's RRR.
The Kashmir Files' total worldwide gross is ₹337.23 crore, making it the only Hindi film to cross the ₹300-crore barrier during the pandemic as well. Before it, Sooryavanshi was the highest-grossing Hindi film in the pandemic era, with gross earnings of ₹293 crore.
