The Kashmir Files movie is creating waves across the nation since its release. Striking a strong chord with Kashmiri Pandits, the movie depicts the gruesome genocide of 1990s, when Kashmiri Hindus were forced out of their homes and brutally harassed & tortured by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. Many Pandits have come forward and said on record that the movie rightly narrates the horror that the community had to go through during their ouster, however, valley based parties continue to differ with their version.
