Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra's recent release Shikara: The Untold Story or Kashmiri Pandits opened at the box office on Friday. The film shows the tragic exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits in 1990s and features debutante actors Sadia and Adil Khan.
Shikara, which has been termed as Vidhu Vinod Chopra's deeply personal essay for Kashmir, has had a slow start in comparison to another Bollywood release this Friday-- Mohit Suri's thriller Malang, starring Disha Patani, Aditya Roy Kapur , Anil Kapoor and Kunal Kemmu.

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share that Shikara, despite not garnering numbers as good as Malang, has still improved its box office business on the second day.
"#Shikara improves on Day 2 [rarity for a film starring newcomers]... Needs to gain ground on Day 3 [Sun]... Also needs to hold on to Day 1 levels on Day 4 [Mon] + trend well on remaining weekdays for a decent total... Fri 1.20 cr, Sat 1.85 cr. Total: ₹ 3.05 cr. #India biz," he wrote in his tweet on Sunday.
