Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express The film may not be interested in nuance but what stays with us are the flashes of genuine pain we see in the person of Pushkar Nath... Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 22, 2022 Full Review Ishmeet Nagpal Common Sense Media This controversial drama has been effective in stoking nationalist sentiment and communal divisions in India. Rated: 1/5 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion This is less of an education and more of a defensive political statement and living-room debate parading as a movie. Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Fine Lavoni Koloamatangi The Post NZ This is not to diminish the need for justice, or for the right story to be told, but rather that in these wars – whether physical, internal, or narrative – it’s essential that the raw humanity of such tragedies is not obscured... Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Renuka Vyavahare The Times of India Anupam Kher’s heart-aching performance leaves a lump in your throat. As a man pining for his lost home, Kher is outstanding.

hashcup _ The movie shows the past which should never be forgotten. Depiction of events were as cruel as they were. It is not spreading hatred or propoganda but awareness of what happened. great movie but events were deeply saddening. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Ritesh T *"Some tragedies are hidden, ignored, or forgotten over time—but they should never be erased from memory. The Kashmir Files tells the story of thousands of innocent Kashmiri Hindus who faced unimaginable pain, displacement, and loss during the exodus of the 1990s. This movie is more than entertainment—it’s a reminder of the truth, the suffering, and the resilience of those whose voices were silenced for decades. Watching it is not about blame, it’s about understanding, remembering, and ensuring such atrocities are never repeated. Every Indian should see this film, reflect on its lessons, and share it—because awareness is the first step toward justice and empathy."* Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Abhishek, Chauhan C Best movie and nice cinematography Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Cob E Negative and politics included harming others nation this movie is such a disgusting Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Audience Member Worst prapagada movie promoted by BJP govt india to hate muslims Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Martand D One of the best movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Read all reviews
