Kashmir Files To Clash With Pathaan

In a surprising and  unexpected move, director Vivek Agnihotri has decided  to  re-release  his historic hit The Kashmir Files on January 19, ahead of Shah Rukh Khan’s much-vaunted  hysterically-hyped Pathaan.

This could  prove  a serious setback for Yash Raj films who had planned a solo  Republic-Day weekend release  for Pathaan months in advance.

The return of  The Kashmir Files six days ahead  of Pathaan  cannot be taken lightly. Agnihotri’s provocative  political  drama  earned  more than 340 crore rupees worldwide when it was first released on March 11, 2022.  The  film has  the staunch support of a  huge section of Indian audiences who will now  go back to see The Kashmir Files , if for  no other reason then to support the ‘Boycott Pathaan’ movement.

 This is the first time in the  history of Indian cinema that a film is being re-released within one year of its original release.
