It’s been more than 10 days since The Kashmir Files has released in the theatres. The film that stars Anupam Kher, Bhasha Sumbli, Darshan Kumaar, Mithun Chakraborty, and Pallavi Joshi among others has created havoc at the box office. Helmed by Vivek Agnihotri, the film has made a total collection of Rs 197 crore in just 11 days and will soon enter the 200 crore club.
The Kashmir Files is based on the actual narrative of the massacre of Kashmiri Hindus by fundamentalist Islamists in the Kashmir valley in 1990, as well as the forced exile of Kashmiri Hindus that followed. It also serves as a reminder of the valley’s dreadful militaristic nature, as the title says. As shown in the film, numerous Kashmiri Pandit victims were slaughtered, while countless more were forced to flee their homes and relocate to other regions of India.
