The Kashmir Files! This is the movie that has garnered phenomenally wide attention in the last 2 to 3 days across the country. The entire social media is abuzz about the film and one would have definitely come across at least a single post about the same. The film which released on a low scale note has picked up really well at the box office, taking the theatre exhibitors and distributors by big surprise. So, what is this film all about and why is it attracting so much attention? The Kashmir Files deals with the heart-wrenching story of the Kashmiri Pandits who lost their lives during the Kashmir insurgency in 1990.

Many innocent people were killed in this exodus and reportedly, many Kashmiri Pandit women were kidnapped, raped, and murdered. The film is said to have effectively portrayed the pain, suffering and trauma of the Kashmiri Hindus, striking a chord with audiences across the country. The audiences are seen coming out of the theatres with tears and those visuals have already been doing rounds on social media. At the same time, there is also a section of people who have expressed that this film reinterprets the historical incidents in a way it aligns with the sentiments of the ruling party.

While we do not want to get into the political aspect, it is safe to say that the film has taken the country by surprise with its outstanding performance at the box office. The film which was released only on a minimal number of screens in Chennai has already gained more shows and screens and more theatres have also added the film to their programming list. This indeed tells us that The Kashmir Files has been getting a favourable response from the people. If you want to know the hard-hitting story of the Kashmir genocide, book the tickets and catch the film on the big screens.
