Kashmir and its blood-soaked political history renders itself well to cinematic treatment. It is to the credit of the makers of this series that not a moment of the eight episodes feels exploitative or artificial.

There is a free flow to the narrative and the main characters are written into the plot organically. Both Mohit Raina and Dia Mirza do well in their respective roles of the Kashmir-based lawyer-journalist searching for truth that may destroy his life, and the mysterious woman from Pakistan who has drifted into India and has been languishing in prison for years with no hope of being released.

That's where the lawyer's dormant skills kicks in.

"Kaafir" is a series with plenty of heart. Writer Bhavani Iyer has researched her subject of Kashmiri militancy. The series never lets the weight of its political theme sit heavily on the narration. If anything, the series is guilty of...

Actress Dia Mirza, who essays the role of a Pakistani woman in the web series "Kaafir", says art suffers at the hands of fear.

At the show's launch here, Dia was asked about her opinion on Pakistani artistes being barred from working in India by the All India Cine Workers Association (Aicwa) after an attack in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, in February in which 40 Crpf personnel were killed.

She said: "Art always suffers at the hands of fear... but also art is also reunited and refuelled because of fear. I believe that these prejudices that have been imposed on us, not just take us away from our neighbours, it takes us away from ourselves. And when we deny ourselves the opportunity to communicate and exchange... we are only expressing to the world how fearful we are."
