Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The story revolves around Krishna Pandit (Darshan Kumar), a JNU student, who thinks his parents were killed in an accident as told by his grandfather, Pushkar Nath (Anupam Kher). But the truth is more depressing. He is caught in the middle of two opposing narratives of the Kashmiri Pandit exodus of 1990. One side is represented by the pro-Azaadi JNU professor (Pallavi Joshi) who is gaining a lot of support on the campus for her Kashmir cause. On the other side is Nath, who has been struggling for 30 years to get justice for the exodus, which the professor claims is a sham. After Pushkar Naths death, Krishna goes back to Kashmir to fulfil his last wishes and also meets four of Naths friends, a journalist, a doctor, a former police officer, and a retired civil servant. They are shocked to know that Krishna didnt know the true story of his fathers death. The Kashmir Files then becomes a journey of discovering the truth for Krishna. In one among many traumatic scenes, Krishnas father, hiding in a container of rice, is killed by a local militant. His mother is forced to eat the blood-soaked rice from the same container.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Starting scene of the movie, where Farooq Ahmed Bitta(played by Chinmay Mandlekar) shouts anti Indian slogans, was shot in Dehradun with real local people around Bitta. Initially people participated happily but soon forced makers to stop shoot after hearing anti Indian slogans. Then to convince people, they were shown previous Chinmay's movies. After knowing Chinmay had played Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's role, people allowed shoot to resume. See more » |
