Vidula V @Vidul Jul 4 This is a must watch movie when teaching the upcoming generations about past history . I had the good fortune to see this movie at a premier before it was released to the public , and was not sure what to expect from this anticipated movie . Agnihotriji has very skillfully woven a fictional tale to bring alive a story that is based on very real and historically accurate events . Yes every event described in this movie can be fact checked on print and news media . This movie is not retold with an intention of creating hate against any community but to expose the true face of terrorism with no whitewashing . This movie left me in tears for days afterwards. The cinematography is stunning and complements the emotion and cold days of January 1990. The movie also shows cases how liberal colleges try their best effort to trivialize the effects and perpetrators of terrorism to confuse youth into supporting terrorists . This is a must watch movie if a lifetime. See more Surnar A @RT22935871 Apr 4 one of the finest movies in terms of screenplay, history, research are top notch but the last speech steal the show. Also appreciate the Detailing. The one thing I can say is must watch movie. See more Rishank J @RT45328593 Apr 2 Genuinely, much needed movie to show pain of genocide of Kashmiri Hindus. Need to learn how the hate towards kaffir inculcated in every common man in one specific ideology can lead to brutal genocide of all innocent non-believers. Run Away, convert or die was the slogan which blared from every most. It shows how one call from loudspeakers can convert a once helpful neighbour into a blood thirsty aggressor.

See more Debaprasad B @DebaprasadBandyo Dec 15 The Kashmir Files is less a work of historical inquiry than a politically weaponized spectacle. Framed as a "truth-telling" account of the 1990 Kashmiri Pandit exodus, the film reduces a complex tragedy into a single, accusatory narrative designed to consolidate majoritarian grievance. Told through didactic vignettes, it replaces nuance with graphic reenactments of violence, stripped of political context, state accountability, or competing histories. Kashmiri Muslims are rendered as a monolithic threat, while academic debate is caricatured as conspiracy. The film’s relentless sermonizing overwhelms what could've been its human core. Notably, it violates the aesthetic restraint advocated in Bharata Muni’s Natyashastra, which discourages explicit depictions of killing and war in favor of evoking reflection (rasa). Here, spectacle replaces contemplation. Commercially successful yet ethically reckless, the film exemplifies how cinema can inflame rather than illuminate.
