Strong performances uplift this slow-paced film
It has been 30 years since the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits when over 4 lakh families were rendered homeless. Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra's mother was also among those who could never return to Kashmir.
The background score by A R Rahman and Qutub-E-Kripa adds soul to the film and is ably supported by Irshad Kamil's lyrics. The songs stay with you for a long time.
Shikara touches your heart while making you smile and cry at the same time. Chopra does justice to his direction though a much hard-hitting narrative is what one continues to wait for.
