Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files, which was released on March 11, is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus during the Kashmir insurgency in 1990. Ever since its release, people have flocked to the theatres in great numbers to watch it. Many states even declared the film tax-free.
The movie has marked a significant feat at the box office in the post-pandemic era. The film, which was made on a budget of Rs 25 crore, earned more than Rs 200 crore at the box office. Based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley during the Kashmir Insurgency in early 1990s, the film has garnered not just love and praise from the audience in theatres but also on social media.

A day after the release of The Kashmir Files, actor Akshay Kumar had praised the film on Twitter. He was probably the first mainstream Bollywood actor to openly support the film. However, his wife Twinkle Khanna has now taken a jibe at Vivek Agnihotri’s film.
Twinkle Khanna mocks the success of The Kashmir Files
While many Bollywood celebrities have lauded the film, Twinkle Khanna took a jibe at the craze around the film in her latest column. Twinkle’s column, published in The Times of India, was mainly about the Will Smith-Chris Rock Oscars situation, but was peppered with comments about not just The Kashmir Files, but also news of Daler Mehndi having purchased ‘property’ in the Metaverse.

“11 am: In a meeting at a producer’s office, I am informed that there is a deluge of fresh movie titles being registered as homage to The Kashmir Files. Since larger cities have already been claimed, now the poor chaps are registering names like Andheri Files, Khar-Danda Files and even South Bombay Files. I am just wondering if my colleagues can still call themselves filmmakers, or with all this filing, they, like the original nationalist, Manoj Kumar, have all turned into clerks.”
Twinkle continued,
“8 pm: Mother has invited us over for dinner and while she is fussing over her granddaughter, I inform her that I too have registered a title based on the Kashmir Files wave. ‘I am going to make a movie called Nail File.’ ‘About what? A disastrous manicure,’ she asks.”
Many netizens were not entertained by Twinkle’s article and callled her for making such remarks on a film that is based on a sensitive topic

#TwinkleKhanna is one of the most vile people in the world.
She thinks it’s ok to mock a film #TheKashmirFiles showing the truth abt the #Hindu genocide by Isl*m*sts.
She can mock INDIA for just about anything.@akshaykumar why?? pic.twitter.com/DbOtMhaWa2— ChaheMujheKoiJungleeKahe 🤡👾👽👺👻🕺🕺 (@Junglee_Koi) April 4, 2022
Is Twinkle Khanna so daft that she finds genocide of Kashmiri Hindus funny? Would she dare to crack a joke on Schindler’s List or The Pianist? This Mrs. Funnybones has no sensitivity and grace. Not sure why she ever got platforms for her elitist bile presented as smart Alec wit! pic.twitter.com/BCGRv98CgR
