The Kashmir Files is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language drama film[1] written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri. Produced by Zee Studios,[4] the film is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus during the Kashmir Insurgency.[5] It stars Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Joshi.[6] It was declared tax-free in multiple states ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party,[7] and became a box office success.[8][9] The film praised by critics for dialogues, Background research, the performance of the cast, particularly that of Kher's,[13] but the film has faced accusations of being a work of historical revisionism and is considered by many critics to be propaganda aligned with the ruling party, aimed at fostering prejudice against Muslims.[19]

The film was set to release theatrically worldwide on 26 January 2022, coinciding with India's Republic Day,[20] but was postponed due to the Omicron variant spread,[21] and finally theatrically released on 11 March 2022.[22]

Plot

The movie depicts the situation surrounding the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir valley in 1990.

The plot is centered on the journey to Kashmir of a young student of JNU named Krishna Pandit (Darshan Kumar), who was led to believe that his parents were killed in an accident, as told by his grandfather Pushkar Nath (Anupam Kher).[23] He was also under the influence of a JNU professor Radhika Menon (Pallavi Joshi) who believes in the "Kashmir cause".[23][24] After the death of his grandfather, he takes the ashes of his body to Kashmir when he learns about the true circumstances of his parents' death, which is fashioned after the killing of B. K. Ganjoo by Kashmiri insurgents.[a][23]

The film portrays the events surrounding the exodus as a "genocide", in which thousands of Kashmiri Hindus were shown to have been massacred, women raped and children shot. The displaced families are shown living as refugees till today.[14]

Cast

Production

On 14 August 2019, Agnihotri announced the film with its first look poster saying, "the film will be an honest investigation into one of the biggest human tragedies". Director Vivek Agnihotri completed the script, stationed at an undisclosed location in the Himalayas. The subject of the film was the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits that took place between the late 80s and early 90s.[26][27] As a part of production, Vivek Agnihotri claimed to have interviewed more than 700 emigrants from the exodus and recorded their stories over a period of two years [28] Actor Anupam Kher joined the cast as the lead actor of the film in May 2020. The first schedule of the film was called off due the coronavirus outbreak.[29] Yograj Singh was removed for his speeches at the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest,[30] and Puneet Issar was brought in as replacement.[31] A line producer, Sarahna died during the production by committing suicide.[32]

Political messaging and historical accuracy

The film's producer Vivek Agnihotri claims the film to be depiction of the "truth of Kashmir".[23] Its key message is that what is known as the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits is actually a "genocide".[24]

The film is seen depicting the Jawaharlal Nehru University as an anti-national, terror-friendly institution.[23] The Article 370 of the Constitution that granted a nominally autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir, is named as one of the reasons for the displacement of the Kashmiri Pandits.[23] Blame is also attached to the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah and the former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, and the Kashmiri-origin central home minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed (while the serving prime minister V. P. Singh and the Bharatiya Janata Party that supported his government are absolved of responsibility).[23][33] The central character Krishna Pandit is shown as turning against the present day prime minister Narendra Modi due to the influence of terrorists.[23] The former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is also subtly derided for attempting to win the hearts of Kashmiris.[33]

The film focuses exclusively on the killings of Kashmiri Hindus in 1990 and afterwards whereas Kashmiri Muslims were also killed during the insurgency (in greater numbers in fact).[18]: para. 10 [b] The exclusive focus on violence of Muslims on Hindus is seen to be promoting Islamophobia.[23][35][18]

A Kashmiri terrorist is depicted in the movie, fashioned after Farooq Ahmed Dar ("Bitta Karate"). But he is also shown as being involved in the 2003 Nadimarg massacre, which was not Dar's doing. Krishna's mother, fashioned after Mrs. Ganjoo, is shown to have been killed in this massacre, which was not the case in real life.[23][25] Neither are the facts of Bitta Karate's conviction and long years of incarceration mentioned.[33]

Critical reception

Kher's performance in The Kashmir Files was generally praised by the film critics.[11][36][12]

Stutee Ghosh of The Quint rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and found the film to have made a compelling case for Kashmiri pandits and their "hitherto unaddressed wounds" but wished for more nuance; the cinematography esp. color palette, Anupam Kher's acting, and realist depictions were praised in particular.[10] Likewise, Jagadish Angadi of Deccan Herald was effusive in his praise — Agnihotri's use of non-linear narratives and strong dialogues, enviable background research, and strong individual performances produced an "intense watch".[37] Avinash Lohana of Pinkvilla scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars, praising the cast performances—particularly that of Kher's—and behind-the-scenes research but criticized the lack of balance.[38]

Shubhra Gupta, reviewing for The Indian Express gave the film a 1.5 out of 5 stars; uninterested in nuance, the film was held to be a work of propaganda aligned with the ruling party's discourse that only aimed to stoke the "deep-seated anger" of pandits but it did tap into the grief of a displaced community and Kher's performance was commendable.[14] Anuj Kumar reviewing for The Hindu described the film as disturbing; a work of historical revisionism, created with "some facts, some half-truths, and plenty of distortions" and coupled with compelling performances and brutally intense visualisations, aimed at inciting hatred against Muslims.[33]

Rahul Desai, reviewing for Film Companion, found the work to be a "fantasy-revisionist" rant lacking in clarity, craft, and sense where every Muslim was a Nazi and every Hindu, a Jew; with an unconvincing screenplay and weak characters, it was propaganda that strove only to tune in with the Hindu nationalist mood of the nation rather than offer genuine empathy to the displaced victims.[15] Rohit Bhatnagar of The Free Press Journal found the screenplay as well as individual performances to be sloppy, thus failing to "translate the grief on the big canvas" and make any mark; however, he admired the effort that went behind the film and rated 2.5 out of 5 stars.[39] Shilajit Mitra of The New Indian Express panned the film with a rating of 1 out of 5 stars and castigated Agnihotri for exploiting the suffering of Kashmiri pandits by doing away with all nuance in service of a "communal agenda".[24]

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has attacked movie critics in response to negative reviews, claiming that there is a great conspiracy to discredit the film, which according to him "reveals the truth".[40]

Release and box office

The Kashmir Files was released in over 630 screens in India on 11 March 2022.[41] It has been declared tax-free in Bharatiya Janata Party-led states of Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, with an urge for "everyone to watch the movie".[42] The film earned ₹3.55 crore at the domestic box office on its opening day. On its second day, the film showed a growth of 139.44% and earned ₹8.50 crore, taking its total domestic box office collection to ₹12.05 crore.[43] After the response from the first two days, the screens were increased to 2,000 on 13 March 2022.[44] The film earned ₹15.10 crore at the domestic box office on its third day, taking its opening weekend collection to ₹27.15 crore.[43]

The Kashmir Files emerged as a box-office hit within its first two days of release.[45] As of 14 March 2022, the film has collected ₹42.20 crore at the domestic box office.[43] Additionally, the film earned an estimated amount of ₹5 crore at the overseas markets in its opening weekend.[46]

Litigation

A public interest litigation (PIL) was filed by an Uttar Pradesh resident[47] which sought a stay on the film's release on grounds that the film may portray the Muslims as killers of the Kashmiri pandits, presenting what it described as a one sided view that would hurt the sentiments of Muslims and could trigger violence against Muslims.[48] The PIL was dismissed by a Bombay High Court on technical grounds.[48]

Another lawsuit was filed by the widow of an Indian Armed Forces squadron leader who died during the Kashmir Insurgency. The widow's lawsuit said that the film portrayed a false depiction of events vis-a-vis the husband and sought a stay on its release. Accordingly, the court restrained the makers from showing relevant scenes.[49]
