The Kashmir Files is a heartbreaking story about Kashmiri Pandits’ agony, suffering, struggle, and trauma as seen through the eyes of Krishna, the protagonist. The film raises important issues regarding democracy, religion, politics, and humanity.
The Kashmir Files tells the narrative of Krishna Pandit (Darshan Kumar), a JNU student who believes his parents were killed in an accident, as his grandfather, Pushkar Nath, claims (Anupam Kher). The truth, on the other hand, is much more gloomy. He’s stuck in the between of two conflicting accounts of the 1990 Kashmiri Pandit exodus. One side is represented by Pallavi Joshi, a pro-Azaadi JNU professor who is gathering a lot of sympathy for her Kashmir cause on campus. Nath, on the other hand, has been fighting for justice for the exodus for the past 30 years, which the professor argues was a fake. Krishna returns to Kashmir after Pushkar Nath’s death to carry out his final wishes and encounters four of Nath’s acquaintances, a journalist, a doctor, a former police officer, and a retired government official. They are astounded to learn that Krishna was unaware of his father’s death. The Kashmir Files therefore becomes a quest for Krishna to learn the truth. Krishna’s father is assassinated by a local terrorist while hiding in a jar of rice, in one of many terrible situations. His mother feels compelled to consume the bloody rice from the same container.
The Kashmir Files has shattered many records, and even there are new records for such movie post pandemic since 2020. It got a slow page in initial days but later picked up well and doing wonders all around. Getting many good reviews all around from movie experts and viewers. The film has created huge impact that BJP government is as asking it to be Tax Free, but then CM of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal said that why make it Tax Free, rather ask the maker of the film to upload in youtube and make it available for everyone to watch.

Did you know this about The Kashmir Files movie?
1. The film's opening sequence, in which Farooq Ahmed Bitta (Chinmay Mandlekar) screams anti-India slogans, was shot in Dehradun with actual locals in the area. People enthusiastically participated at first, but after hearing anti-Indian shouts, the makers were compelled to halt filming. Then they were shown earlier Chinmay films to persuade them. People permitted the shoot to resume after learning that Chinmay had played Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
2. The friends of Pushkar Pandit are named as Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and Hari.
3. Sharda Pandit is based on two real-life women: Girija Tickoo (a schoolteacher) and Mr. BK Ganjoo's wife in 'The Kahmir Files.'
