A few hours back, the trailer of the most-anticipated film The Kashmir Files dropped online and it is making headlines for all the right reasons. After The Taskent Files, Vivek Agnihotri is back with yet another spine-chilling story of the killings of Kashmiri Pandits and their exodus from the valley. Led by Anupam Kher and Mithun Chakraborty, the film also stars an ensemble cast of National Award Winners like, Pallavi Joshi, Prakash Belavadi. The film also stars a couple of acclaimed names like Darshan Kumar, Bhasha Sumbali, Chinmay Mandlekar, Puneet Issar, Mrinal Kulkarni, Atul Srivastava, and Prithviraj Sarnaik.
The 3.5 minutes long trailer opens with a scene where Atul Srivastava is seen asking his co-star, who plays the role of a Kashmiri Muslim during the Genocide, how many Kashmiri Pandits he has killed, replying to which he says, 20-25. Further what is disturbing is when Atul asks him if someone asks him to kill his brother and mother, he says, “I will kill them.”
However, soon we see Darshan Kumaar’s entry in the trailer and the chaos begins. The trailer then moves forward and sees the terror going to the peak in the valley with dreadful rallies and killings. Anupam Kher, who himself is a Kashmiri Pandit, looks astounding when he describes ‘their’ Kashmir to Darshan. Mithun Chakraborty on the other hand, nails his character when he asks Darshan, “Kashmiri Pandits also went through so much, but they never picked up a gun, why?”
