A Quest to Unearth the Truth: Review of the Film the Kashmir Files

The Kashmir Files attempts to take on the contentious subject of Kashmir Pandit's (Hindus) forced exodus from the disputed region— of Kashmir Valley in India during the 1990s’, which has been hogging the headings in media since its release in cinema theatres and on OTT (Over-The-Top) platforms throughout India and abroad. The Kashmir Files, scripted and directed by the Indian nationalist film director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (2022), is a feature film in the drama genre. It is based on a true catastrophe and exodus of Kashmiri Pandits— a recognised religious minority from the Kashmir valley of India in the early 1990s’, who were given a choice by the Islamic militants to renunciate their Hinduism, convert to Islam or die or run away.
