The Kashmir Files vs Bachchhan Paandey Advance Booking and Box Office Expectation On Holi

Mumbai, March 17, 2022: On the occasion of Holi, the new movie Bachchhan Paandey will release in cinemas but it has to face The Kashmir Files wave.

Instead of Bachchan Pandey, if other big Bollywood movies like Brahmastra, Pathan, Tiger 3, Singham 3, Fighter, Laal Singh Chaddha and be it any movie, the collection of these movies too, would have been suffered in front of The Kashmir Files. ## Earlier, it was expected that Bachchhan Paandey will earn around 20-25 net on its first day but now it is getting half shows due to The Kashmir Files tsunami. With current advance booking, Bachchan Paandey may collect 10-12 cr India net on Holi but if it receives good reviews and WOM is great then it may grab a few more crores. ## As per the trend is going on, The Kashmir Files is expected to collect 19 Cr on its 8th day (Holi). ## Holi Advance Booking ## The Kashmir Files: 8.44 Cr Gross ## Bachchhan Paandey: 3.19 Cr Gross ## The Kashmir Files (Hindi) (2D) Eighth Day Advance Booking Reports (Main Regions)RegionOccupancyShowsAlmost FullFilling FastMumbai54%571179212DelhiNCR42%457130133Pune46%2243592Bengaluru41%31412290Hyderabad30%2577878Kolkata31%1642837Ahmedabad66%326134141Chennai36%811232Surat72%1698163Jaipur21%8028Chandigarh26%66312Bhopal37%3139Lucknow18%67015 ## Bachchhan Paandey (Hindi) (2D) First Day Advance Booking Reports (Main Regions)RegionOccupancyShowsAlmost FullFilling FastMumbai22%5322598DelhiNCR16%4221476Pune13%191116Bengaluru16%170528Hyderabad19%1791266Kolkata13%147117Ahmedabad23%285571Chennai33%641233Surat40%1511536Jaipur12%7202Chandigarh14%6814Bhopal7%4401Lucknow9%7303 ## About These Movie ## The Kashmir Files: ## This film is directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and produced by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri in association with Abhishek Agarwal Arts, and Zee Studio.
