    A Harrowing and Unflinching Tale
    "The Kashmir Files," directed by Vivek Agnihotri, is a powerful film that unravels the tragic history of the Kashmiri Pandit exodus. The story follows Krishna (Darshan Kumar) uncovering his family's past, depicting the brutal realities faced by the Pandit community in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

    Anupam Kher's portrayal of Pushkar Nath is deeply moving, capturing profound anguish and resilience. The supporting cast, including Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Joshi, deliver strong performances.

    Agnihotri's direction is bold, presenting the events with raw authenticity, although the graphic nature might be overwhelming for some. The cinematography and music beautifully complement the film's somber tone.

    "The Kashmir Files" is a poignant and thought-provoking film that brings attention to an often neglected issue, serving as a testament to the resilience of the Kashmiri Pandit community.

    This is no Art
    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.
