‘The Kashmir Files’ storyline  

Agnihotri has portrayed the scene in the movie in an exceptionally explosive manner. The film begins with a scene of kids playing cricket in the neighbourhood, with a transistor broadcasting commentary on Indo-Pak ties.

A telecom engineer is severely shot multiple times while hiding in a rice barrel in one scene. To keep the rest of her family from being slaughtered, his wife is forced to consume a handful of rice mixed with her husband’s blood. The Nadimarg massacre, in which 24 Hindu Kashmiri Pandits were brutally murdered by terrorists dressed in war uniforms, is also depicted in the film.

IMDb rating of this film is 10 out of 10. Various other websites like Koimoi, Hindustan Times gave a good review of this movie. You will not regret watching this gut-wrenching exodus story of the Kashmiri Brahmins family.

Public response:

The star cast of the movie

You will see experienced actors in the movie. You can feel their agony by the way they emote on film, which causes a lump in your throat. Anupam Kher’s portrayal of Pushkar Nath is by far his best and most convincing. Agnihotri couldn’t have picked a greater actor for the character than Kher, who is a Kashmiri Pandit himself.

#OneWordReview…#TheKashmirFiles: BRILLIANT.
Rating: ⭐️⭐⭐️⭐️½#TheKashmirFiles is the most powerful film on #Kashmir and the genocide and exodus of #KashmiriPandits… Hard-hitting, blunt, brutally honest… JUST DON’T MISS IT. #TheKashmirFilesReview pic.twitter.com/FPnw7OidMK

As helpless witnesses to the carnage in Kashmir, the supporting cast includes IAS official Brahma Dutt (Mithun Chakraborty), journalist Vishnu Ram (Atul Shrivastava), Dr. Mahesh Kumar (Prakash Belawadi), and police officer DGP Hari Narain (Puneet Issar).

It is not a typical Bollywood masala film. You will sob and cry watching the movie. Everyone should know about this disheartening story of Kashmiris to support them get what they left behind 32 years ago.
