The Kashmir Files Critics Review: By Taran Adarsh, Komal Nahta, Joginder Tuteja and Anupama Chopra
About 2 hours 40 minutes long The Kashmir Files, director Vivek Agnihotri takes a dig at a leading educational institution and media in India. He talks on the ancient history and mythology of Kashmir from the abrogation of Article 370. After almost 30 years, Kashmiri Pandits still hope for justice. This film puts forth his pain, his voice. It shows how the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits was suppressed over the years for political reasons.
The Kashmir Files Critics Review
Ratings:4.5/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site: Twitter
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. Director #VivekRanjanAgnihotri takes a bold stand [asks uncomfortable questions], hits out at the political machinery [for shutting their eyes and ears] and recreates the massacre and brutality on screen [without whitewashing or suppressing the events].

On the whole, The Kashmir Files appeals more for the subject it tackles than for the drama and the narration. It will appeal greatly to the classes mainly and, therefore, will do better in the multiplexes in cities and towns. Its controlled budget is another very big plus point. However, the continuous flow of new film releases, especially big star-cast ones, in the coming weeks will tell adversely on the film’s business from its second week onwards as showcasing will become a problem for it.

The Kashmir Files is not an easy film to watch. It isn’t the kind of movie where you want to munch a bag of nachos and sip that cola while checking your cellphone. Instead, the film makes you realise that if we are alive today, it’s a privilege and not something that should be taken for granted.

Vivek Agnihotri’s fairly graphic and explosive film revisits the exodus and its aftermath. Based on documented reports, it shows the brutalities faced by KP’s because of their religion. Be it telecom engineer BK Ganjoo’s murder in a rice barrel, Nadimarg massacre where 24 Hindu Kashmiri Pandits were killed by militants dressed in combat uniforms, or defamatory slogans. The film recreates these real life incidents and we see them through the eyes of an ageing nationalist.

The Kashmir Files is a hard-hitting film that tries to unearth the dark reality of an era gone by. It is not for the faint-hearted as it gets disturbing and gruesome while detailing stories of the past.

These are stories that need to be told and for many soft separatists, it may be a hard pill to swallow. Think about it for a second if there have been such brutal atrocities that the Kashmiri Hindus have gone through would you not keep your political leanings aside for the sake of humanity and hope for some closure for the first generation victims in their right to justice?
