Is the success of The Kashmir Files unparalleled?
– This success story reminds one of the runaway success of JAI SANTOSHI MAA in 1975.
Will the unimaginable success of The Kashmir Files change the way films are made and will it also prompt filmmakers to make serious films now?
– There will be a handful of producers who will announce serious films, now that THE KASHMIR FILES is such a huge hit, but please don’t expect the entire industry to change because of one film, howsoever huge its success. This is like saying that after the stupendous success of JAI SANTOSHI MAA in 1975, producers only made mythological films. But we all know, that’s not true.
Would Bachchhan Paandey have done well at the box-office if The Kashmir Files was not so strong in its second week?
– The business of BACHCHHAN PAANDEY was slightly adversely affected because of THE KASHMIR FILES but to think that if it would not have had to face the opposition of THE KASHMIR FILES, its fate would’ve changed is baseless. We’ve had two films releasing on the same day and both clicking at the box-office. GADAR EK PREM KATHA and LAGAAN were simultaneously released, and both were hits. There are other similar examples.
