The Kashmir Files Takes Bigger Start Than Prabhas-Fronted Radhe Shyam In Hindi Multiplexes

Mumbai, March 11 - Prabhas' long-awaited period romantic drama film "Radhe Shyam" has bombed at the Hindi box office. Despite the anticipation, the movie couldn't meet expectations and opened to nearly Rs. 2.10 crores on Friday from multiplexes. By adding single screens data, it earned around 4.50 Cr Hindi net. ## On the other hand, National award-winning filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri's "The Kashmir Files" surprises at the box office. As per the early estimates, the film, based on true events, opens to Rs. 2.40 crores net from the multiplexes (including single screen, it earned around 3.30 Cr), despite the far fewer screens as compared to "Radhe Shyam". ## "The Kashmir Files", which tells the story of the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus in the early 1990s due to the Kashmir Insurgency, got a big boost towards evening and night shows from the strong word of mouth. The film has managed to touch the hearts of the audiences, and it is sure to grow further over the weekend. ## In the comparison between "Radhe Shyam" and "The Kashmir Files", the Radha Krishna Kumar-directed had 428 shows in Mumbai for the Hindi version, wherein "The Kashmir Files" had only 153 shows on the first day.

Overall, it netted an estimated Rs. 48 crores for all languages.## Set in Europe of the 1970s, the film tells the story of Vikramaditya (Prabhas), a palmist who is conflicted between destiny and his love for Prerana (Pooja Hegde).

Last year, Vikram Malhotra of Abundantia Entertainment, the co-producer of the series, said in an interview that it would go on floors by early 2022. ## However, with development yet, Akshay Kumar has now said that it is delayed to the next year as the makers are not happy with the screenplay.

Amazon was not satisfied, so we are still working on it and if everything goes well, we should start by next year's beginning", said Akshay during the media interaction.## Meanwhile, the actor is busy promoting his upcoming romantic action comedy film, "Bachchhan Paandey", which is slated to release in theaters on March 18. The movie also stars Kriti Sanon, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Arshad Warsi in key roles.

While the first three movies will be released in theaters, "Cinderella", which is the remake of the Tamil movie "Ratsasan", is rumored to be releasing directly on Disney+Hotstar, later this year. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, March 11 - Warner Bros. has preponed the release date of its upcoming fantasy film "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" in India. ## The third installment in the Fantastic Beasts film series was supposed to release on April 15 with the USA release, but now, it will arrive a week early on April 8 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. ## The move to shift the release of the film early is understandable knowing the fact that the April second weekend will see India's one of the biggest films, "KGF - Chapter 2" hitting the big screens on April 14.

Salman Khan's 'Black Tiger' With Director Raj Kumar Gupta Is Not Happening?

Salman has also shown his apprehension about playing yet another spy when he already has YRF’s biggest spy franchise, Tiger, in his hands", a peepingmoon.com report states. ## Salman, meanwhile, has completed the filming of YRF's highly anticipated "Tiger 3", which is slated to release on April 21, 2023, on the occasion of Eid.
