Akshay Kumar's every movie has been a ray of hope for all the theatre's owners in the post-pandemic world with his movies like 'Bell Bottom', 'Sooryvanshi', which had earned big numbers and managed to bring the audience back to the theatres. Now, his much-awaited movie 'Bachchhan Paandey' which was finally released on the festive weekend, has opened with good numbers, despite tough competition from Vivek Agnihotri's 'The Kashmir Files'.
