The movie opened on a muted note on March 11 but just a day later registered surge in audience and has been going rock solid for past two weeks.

Ever since release, The Kashmir Files has been mired in controversy. Critics & certain political class have accused the film makers for peddling propaganda via their movie but the increasing footfalls at multiplexes and momentous response by people belies their claims.

Vivek Agnihotri directorial has captured the tumultuous events of 1990s when the Kashmiri Pandits were beaten, harassed & tortured and forced to flee their homes and valley, by Pakistan sponsored terrorists in connivance with the then state administration.
