The Kashmir Files movie review: The film may lack nuance, but what sticks with us are the flashes of true pain we see in the character of Pushkar Nath, played by Anupam Kher in a credible and compelling performance.
The Kashmir tragedy has deep roots. Over decades of endless cycles of violence, waves of separatism, infiltration by Pakistani-funded terrorist groups, and latent discontent among the population, scholarly articles and journalistic exercises have dug deep to unearth and explore.
As is always the case with complex stories of places and people, we had narratives based on the aspect of the subject that interested them.

Kashmir Records Review Kashmir Records Review: With all its propaganda panache and cementing the preferred discourse of the current dispensation, it manages to capitalize on the grief of the expelled pundits. The Kashmir tragedy has deep roots. Over decades of endless cycles of violence, waves of separatism, infiltration by Pakistani-funded terrorist groups, and latent discontent among the population, scholarly works and journalistic exercises have dug deep to unearth and explore.
As is always the case with complex stories of places and people, we had narratives based on the aspect of the subject that interested them. The last time Bollywood addressed the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley was in 2020’s “Shikara” directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files extends this narrative and makes it the only lens through which he sees it.
Right from the start, we know which side the film’s sympathies are on; as for The Kashmir Files, it was not an “exodus”, it was a “genocide” in which thousands of Kashmiri Hindus were massacred, women raped, children shot at close range: today even today, these families live like refugees.
