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.

@vivekagnihotri just watched #TheKashmirFiles it deserves all the awards in india and world @TheAcademy should also recognize this brilliant masterpiece and stand with the #Truth for world to know about the #genocide.

Ultimate eye opener,The Last 30 mins killed me from inside.😔

If anyone wants to watch it but cant afford it . DM me and i will pay for it. Be it anyone any realistic number.

Just watched The Kashmir Files on big screen. Feeling numb, speechless and completely immersed in agony and tears. Don't watch it unless you have a very strong heart. Thats Masterpiece.

I had high expectations from this movie from start but this was 100 times better than I thought. No one can miss this one it's a crime. It's right to know truth in our history. Acting of all actors was top notch and anupam kher will definitely make u choke in theatre. Pallavi joshi and Darshan did equally amazing job. The last monologue will go down in the history of indian cinema. This film is the watershed moment in indian cinema now only corrective narrative will be supported by public... Jai hind vande mataram.

A brilliant documentary-style feature that has been cleverly crafted. If anyone knows the context of the film's theme, dialogues, screenplay and characters, they would see the smart film-making.

Never in India has anyone dared to portray the holocaust and genocide (one of the several) that occured in India.

Actors have been brilliant too.

A must watch.

I want to apologise to each and every Kashmiri Pandit for being ignorant about this genocide in behalf of every Indian who stayed silent and ignorant for more than 32 years. I am ashamed that we couldn't do anything. But Not anymore.

Not anymore.

Hum Dekhenge.

After Tashkent files, this is best content choose by Vivek sir. Last FIM I watched HOTEL MUMBAI. REAL INDIAN FILM, BOLLYWOOD CAN LEARN SOMETHING NEW BY THIS MOVIE.

My mind and heart was freezed once I came out from theatre. This has happened in India when we are in sleep and still we are in deep sleep. This movie definitely a big slap for all librandu. They never show and hide this genocide. Hands off to the team. From my Word, i can't described my feeling. But still I have pain. Once again thank to all and please support this real true story. My best wishes.

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.

Story- 10/10 Direction -10/10 Acting-10/10

Highly recommend this one!

A gripping movie, telling the story of the plight of Kashmiri pandits in 1990.

A different genre of Bollywood movie, a non-masala movie, in the raw form, as it should be.

Like me, many Indians too read about the exodus of Kashmiri pandits in 1990. This movie made me question my understanding of the same, whether it was an exodus or a genocide.

The film beautifully captures the mind of an Indian youth, conflicted between the two sides of stories being told to him. The conflict he goes through in choosing one side from the other, all at the same time uncovering the truth of his family's past tragedy.

Courageous story telling at its best!

Thanks to the director Vivek Agnihotri, and the actors for delivering an epic movie experience on a sensitive topic.

A bold movie by Vivek Sir. This shows the trauma the Kashmiri pandits have gone through and still haunts 30+ years. The nation needs to know this. Many people still doesn't visualize the horror experienced by Kashmiri Pandits. It is seen as a simple terror strike. But it is hard hittting event of bloodshed human brutality and families being displaced.

Vivek Sir is a visionary who comes with innovative flicks imbibed with emotions and ideals. This is going to be one of his best work. Well done sir.

Now about technical aspects, it falls a bit short from being a masterpiece. The fireworks needed to be real, some characters remained flawed, some edges left out. But Vivek Sir daringly showed the gruesome crimes of the tragedy. The violence and fearsome part are gripping while other parts sometimes loses the grip. The tragedy of the event gets well portrayed, gives the fear.

My understanding of the movie : -

The real culprit of the event are not the Muslims or enemy country or the Kashmiris but the liberal Indians. This is the ugly truth showed explicitly in the movie. The liberal minds being cut off from their own religious traditions failed to grasp the ground reality of Kashmir. We should understand that Liberalism is dangerous for hypocritical society. When politics enters in that genre imagine the horror it will produce and that exactly took place in Kashmir.

Summing up it's a must watch movie for the entire subcontinent. The liberals / seculars should be at the top of the viewers. A 74/100.

This is no art. Makers have taken an unfortunate event and distorted it to do something mischievous.

Multiple nonrelative incidents of the history are combined to build in a script to build a narrative which is not good either for the movie or the audience.

Movies based on history should be faithful, chronological and true to the actual events happened, while presenting the story.

Let's come to the implementation side.

Direction is average. So are the dialogues. Mithun, Anupam Kher are doing overacting for long. They should stick to comedy role only.

Darshan Kumar who played the role of Krishna is the only good thing happened to this movie. He is a good actor.

Avoidable. Watch it on your own risk.

We should have known all this before in hand but the pity is that Indian politics ecosystem and movie mafia has kept it hidden from all citizens.

Each and every individuals should watch this movie to know the injustice done to hindus.

If u want to know about history watch this film. If u want to know about the future watch it twice.

Well made . Casting & direction everything top notch . Brilliant execution. Please do watch . Don't fall for the propaganda.

It is one of those movies which will definitely make you cry and angry. You would realize a dark truth was hidden in our own history for so long and we didn't care for it.

Awesome performances 🙏

A standing ovation for the makers of this movie. They had the guts to expose such a powerful truth, the truth that some people from our own country had kept hidden under the garb of secularism! The genocide was unbearable to watch, I still have tears welling when I remember, oh what pain our people endured, for no fault of their's. Anyways, this is a must watch movie for the whole world. It's more like a documentary but oh so real.

A movie which will leave permannet goosebumbps . A movie which will mak eyou question Media, Governmentg , Establishment .

Rivetting , eye opening and terrific. Acting , screenpolay , story , all are class apart .

SO MWATCH IT.

Such a painful incident happen in the Independent indian history is this how democracy work that time very sad and painful am feeling very helpless and at the same time am angry at this system !!

Kashmiri Pandits Get back their home soon.

This is not the movie which is only for Indians to watch. This is for whole world to watch. I believe movie lovers all around world should watch. This is not a work of fiction this is based on all real events. Please go and watch this movie.

Just one thing to say- if you are an Indian, you must watch this movie, no matter in what part of world you are, what you religion is, you must watch it.

No movie can justify the pain and suffering of people who lost their home, motherland and family but this movie bravely tries to show a glimpse of what the atmosphere was like back then in Kashmir.

The cinematography is beautiful, the background score is sombre and melancholic. I like how often there is no background score at all, emphasising more on the melancholic tone of events being portrayed. There is constant horror lingering in the back, you can feel it and can imagine what fright the Kashmiri Pandits had to endure back then.

The performance by the cast is top-notch. The inclusion of the Kashmiri language in dialogues is appreciable. The raw Kashmiri songs in the movie are very touching and heart-wrenching.

Vivek Agnihotri doesn't hold back from showing gore violence. There are very disturbing scenes that you would rather not like to watch, but many worse incidents happened in reality back then. These scenes are necessary and I applaud the director for keeping them.

The movie is lengthy and feels a bit stretched out. Apart from that, the only thing I would've changed would be the point of view from which the story is told. I feel that the fear and fright of the KP families living back then in Kashmir is still not echoing enough. The psychological effect of this genocide on the people is missing in the movie, in my opinion.

I hope the success of this movie inspires other competent directors to make movies on related subjects. Kudos to everyone choosing to watch this film and respect for the KP families for not picking up guns ever.

I am apolitical. So i don't follow politics and was looking to learn more about this event.

And it started off well, but the movie could have finished in an hour. The characters seem to have the same conversation again and again. The same dialogues, same preachy writing. We get it, it's heavily politicised, but the writing is all over the place and quite frankly redundant.

I think people pander this movie a lot due to the subject, Were it actually well written, this would have made for a better film.

This is averagely written movie at best, the bad writing gets glaring middle of the film where you feel they are repeating the same thing again and again.

*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.

Sickular/Secular people must watch this movie with their family. Can be an eye opening film for them...Also, they will get to know that ' Aatankvaad ka koi dharm nahi hota ..par Mazhab hota hai'.

Kashmir has always been a touchy subject in Indian subcontinent and few creators are brave enough to depict the tragedy of kashmiri pandits for that alone this movie deserves your time and attention. Unlike shikara which was so far from truth that calling it fiction would be suitable the kashmiri files does not shy away from the dark side of Dawn of Indian state and the lives that lie casted out in its shadow of negligence. Brave cinema like this deserves accolades.
