    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Kashmir Files' is a poignant film addressing the genocide and exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, highlighting their suffering and political cover-up. Many commend its brave depiction of historical events, Anupam Kher's performance, and the director's courage. However, some criticize its technical flaws, unstable camera work, weak plot structure, and biased narrative. Despite mixed opinions on execution, its importance in spotlighting a largely ignored tragedy is widely acknowledged.

    Simply Brilliant!

    After eons I someone in bollywood has made an excellent movie. I had given up on bollywood and stopped watching their films completely because of the trash they usually produce. But despite all controversies, this movie is a masterpiece.

    Heart Touching and well documented Movie

    Kudos to the director and actors of the movie "The Kashmir Files".

    Salute to the guts, for making such a heart-touching movie on Kashmiri Hindus and showing the Truth about their Genocide and Exodus from their Land i.e. Kashmir.

    Brutally Honest!!!!

    This movie is gem and everyone should appreciate this.. The film showcase the truth and after considering reactions from kashmiri victims... One thing is proved that this movie showcased reality rather than facts!! I'm 100% sure that this movie is considered to be best indian patriotism and realistic movie all time!!!
    10kumarindrjeet-79158

    Damn! Worth watching movie based on true facts

    *This movie deserves every awards.*

    The movie shows how Kashmiri Hindus were thrown out of their own homes and are refugees in their own country.

    The sad part is, those people are still suffering and needs help.

    • Trivia
      Starting scene of the movie, where Farooq Ahmed Bitta(played by Chinmay Mandlekar) shouts anti Indian slogans, was shot in Dehradun with real local people around Bitta. Initially people participated happily but soon forced makers to stop shoot after hearing anti Indian slogans. Then to convince people, they were shown previous Chinmay's movies. After knowing Chinmay had played Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's role, people allowed shoot to resume.
    • Alternate versions
      For television premiere, the film was granted a U/A certificate after multiple cuts were made, bringing down the film's runtime to 159 minutes.
