About The Kashmir Files Movie:
The Kashmir Files is a Hindi drama film written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri. The film presents a fictional storyline centred around the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Indian-administered Kashmir. It depicts the exodus and the events leading up to it as a genocide, a framing considered inaccurate by scholars. The film claims that such facts were suppressed by a conspiracy of silence.
The Kashmir Files stars Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, and Pallavi Joshi.
On 14 August 2019, Agnihotri announced the film with its first look poster with an intent to release it on 15 August 2020, coinciding with India’s Independence Day.
The first schedule of the film, supposed to take place in March 2020, was called off due the COVID-19 pandemic in India, and was started later the same year in December in Mussoorie. The entire film was shot in 30 days, largely in Mussoorie and Dehradun, along with a week-long shooting schedule in Kashmir, including at Dal Lake.
The film was released in theatres on 11 March 2022. It has been a commercial success. The Kashmir Files received mixed reviews upon release, with praise directed to its cinematography and the performances of the ensemble cast; however, its storyline attracted criticism for attempting to recast established histor and propagating Islamophobia. Supporters have praised the film for showing what they say is an overlooked aspect of Kashmir’s history.
Made on a production budget of approximately ₹15 crore (US$1.8 million) to ₹25 crore (US$2.9 million) the film grossed ₹340.92 crore (US$40 million) worldwide, becoming the third highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022.
