At last something to show the reality for Kashmiri pandits genocide.
nikhileragon11 March 2022
This movie showed the reality of 1990 kashmiri pandits genocide and exodus. Islamic terrorism and Some so called leaders of the country let this happen. Vivek Agnihotri had the guts to show the reality against hindu phobia. Bollywood never had the guts to show the reality. Movies like Mission Kashmir, shikara and many more only put salt on the wounds of Kashmiri pandits. This movie should be shown all over the world so that everyone can know the dark time of 1990.

Will Shake your Soul
priyanshusr11 March 2022
We are monsters our system is a monster. This movie snowed us mirror.

Really outstanding work by Director and Actors Couldn't sleep today.

Whatever we know about our history is wrong we've been taught wrong. We have wrong information.

And I shouldn't mention it but BJP had done a great work by removing article 360.

Damn! Worth watching movie based on true facts
kumarindrjeet-7915811 March 2022
*This movie deserves every awards.*

The movie shows how Kashmiri Hindus were thrown out of their own homes and are refugees in their own country.

The sad part is, those people are still suffering and needs help.

After eons I someone in bollywood has made an excellent movie. I had given up on bollywood and stopped watching their films completely because of the trash they usually produce. But despite all controversies, this movie is a masterpiece.

Story- 10/10 Direction -10/10 Acting-10/10

Highly recommend this one!

Averagely written movie at best
avinashatela8 July 2022
I am apolitical. So i don't follow politics and was looking to learn more about this event.

And it started off well, but the movie could have finished in an hour. The characters seem to have the same conversation again and again. The same dialogues, same preachy writing. We get it, it's heavily politicised, but the writing is all over the place and quite frankly redundant.

I think people pander this movie a lot due to the subject, Were it actually well written, this would have made for a better film.

This is averagely written movie at best, the bad writing gets glaring middle of the film where you feel they are repeating the same thing again and again.

Best movie i have seen ever...
chandreshmangaroliya11 March 2022
How can any government hide that much big genocide??

After watching this movie i advice each and every indian youth that there is no problem in having shantidoot friends but always learn from your past... And past says shantidoots were never trustworthy... Never do the mistakes which kashmiri pandits did... Don't trust them ever..

A BOLD MOVIE !
WorldMovie9913 March 2022
A bold movie by Vivek Sir. This shows the trauma the Kashmiri pandits have gone through and still haunts 30+ years. The nation needs to know this. Many people still doesn't visualize the horror experienced by Kashmiri Pandits. It is seen as a simple terror strike. But it is hard hittting event of bloodshed human brutality and families being displaced.

Vivek Sir is a visionary who comes with innovative flicks imbibed with emotions and ideals. This is going to be one of his best work. Well done sir.

Now about technical aspects, it falls a bit short from being a masterpiece. The fireworks needed to be real, some characters remained flawed, some edges left out. But Vivek Sir daringly showed the gruesome crimes of the tragedy. The violence and fearsome part are gripping while other parts sometimes loses the grip. The tragedy of the event gets well portrayed, gives the fear.

My understanding of the movie : -

The real culprit of the event are not the Muslims or enemy country or the Kashmiris but the liberal Indians. This is the ugly truth showed explicitly in the movie. The liberal minds being cut off from their own religious traditions failed to grasp the ground reality of Kashmir. We should understand that Liberalism is dangerous for hypocritical society. When politics enters in that genre imagine the horror it will produce and that exactly took place in Kashmir.

Summing up it's a must watch movie for the entire subcontinent. The liberals / seculars should be at the top of the viewers. A 74/100.

This is no Art
movie_goer825 September 2022
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.

surajkantprajapati11 March 2022
It was not an exodus, it was a genocide.

#TheKashmirFiles is not just a movie but a way to connect the pain of Kashmiri Pandits Director Vivek Agnihotri sir made us felt the pain & suffering of Kashmiri Pandits.

A MUST watch movie.

We should have known all this before in hand but the pity is that Indian politics ecosystem and movie mafia has kept it hidden from all citizens.

Reality of Kashmiri Hindus
ayush-0411 March 2022
Based on real story of 1990s. Splendid movie ever watched. Please go to cinema and watch this movie and you will find the religion of Terrorist. Not in Kashmir only but all over the earth you will see the terrorism has belonging muslim community or religion.

Not a story but a real brutal genocide faced by Hindus
Beluga-7772211 March 2022
Hindus became refugees in their own country. They had three options writen on their house wall "leave, convert to islam or die". Secular Hindus will justify this genocide as they have not faced it yet. The land of Rishi Kashyap belongs to Hindus. Be unapologetic and reclaim your past glory.

Great movie! Bold direction, screenplay and writing!
ssadityashukla12 March 2022
No movie can justify the pain and suffering of people who lost their home, motherland and family but this movie bravely tries to show a glimpse of what the atmosphere was like back then in Kashmir.

The cinematography is beautiful, the background score is sombre and melancholic. I like how often there is no background score at all, emphasising more on the melancholic tone of events being portrayed. There is constant horror lingering in the back, you can feel it and can imagine what fright the Kashmiri Pandits had to endure back then.

The performance by the cast is top-notch. The inclusion of the Kashmiri language in dialogues is appreciable. The raw Kashmiri songs in the movie are very touching and heart-wrenching.

Vivek Agnihotri doesn't hold back from showing gore violence. There are very disturbing scenes that you would rather not like to watch, but many worse incidents happened in reality back then. These scenes are necessary and I applaud the director for keeping them.

The movie is lengthy and feels a bit stretched out. Apart from that, the only thing I would've changed would be the point of view from which the story is told. I feel that the fear and fright of the KP families living back then in Kashmir is still not echoing enough. The psychological effect of this genocide on the people is missing in the movie, in my opinion.

I hope the success of this movie inspires other competent directors to make movies on related subjects. Kudos to everyone choosing to watch this film and respect for the KP families for not picking up guns ever.

"The Kashmir Files: A Masterpiece of Misrepresentation and Mediocrity!"
walsidd14 March 2023
I recently watched "The Kashmir Files," and I must say, it was an utter disappointment. The movie portrays Muslims of Kashmir in a negative light and perpetuates the narrative that they are responsible for the violence and turmoil in the region. The film is heavily influenced by disinformation, which distorts the facts and misrepresents the historical events.

The plot is weak and predictable, lacking any depth or nuance. The film attempts to address the sensitive topic of the Kashmir conflict, but fails miserably in presenting a balanced perspective. The script is filled with clichés and stereotypes, and the characters are one-dimensional and unconvincing. The narrative lacks coherence and fails to provide a clear understanding of the complex issues involved in the conflict.

The acting is subpar, with most of the cast delivering wooden performances. The dialogue is stilted and lacks the emotional depth required to connect with the audience. The cinematography is mediocre, with some shots appearing poorly lit and framed. The director fails to bring any creative flair to the film, resulting in a lacklustre and unengaging viewing experience.

In terms of music, the film relies heavily on a jingoistic score that is meant to rouse patriotic sentiment in the audience. However, the music feels manipulative and out of place, and it fails to complement the visuals.

In conclusion, "The Kashmir Files" is a disappointing film that fails to live up to its potential. The disinformation by the film is evident in the negative portrayal of Muslims of Kashmir, which is both inaccurate and harmful. The film lacks the depth and nuance required to address a sensitive issue such as the Kashmir conflict. The weak plot, subpar acting, mediocre cinematography, and forgettable music make this a forgettable movie that should be avoided.
