Zee Studios has dropped the trailer of its upcoming and buzzing film ‘The Kashmir Files’ and every scene intrigues to the core. Helmed by National Award winning director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (‘The Tashkent Files’), ‘The Kashmir Files’ will release in theatres on 11th March, 2022.
The trailer begins with a uniform clad man counting queued up civilians and the background of this first frame where we have a wall with words ‘Musalmano Jago’ (Wake up Muslims) written on it, itself sets the tone for the film.
But that’s not it, every following scene keeps increasing on the enthralling scale as it navigates through the complex Kashmir situation exploring the facets of insurgency and exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits thirty two years ago.
On being asked how many Kashmiri Pandits did he kill, a man with seemingly no remorse replies 20-25. He further states that he would even kill his own brother and mother if asked to do so. What comes after are brutal scenes of the beautiful Kashmir burning, innocent people being murdered and forced to flee their land.
The trailer also shows how the propaganda of Kashmir’s freedom and it not being a part of India is being fed into the minds of the youth. The excruciating true story of the genocide that took place due to the Kashmir insurgency is what ‘The Kahsmir Files’ tries to portray on screen.
‘The Kashmir Files’ is based on true stories of the victims of the Kashmir genocide and shows how the pain and emotions remain the same even after 32 years. Written and directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, ‘The Kashmir Files’ stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumar, Pallavi Joshi, Puneet Issar, Prakash Belawadi, Atul Srivastava, Bhasha Sumbli, Mrinal Kulkarni and Chinmay Mandlekar.
Tej Narayan Agrawal, Abhishek Agarwal, Pallavi Joshi and Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri have produced ‘The Kashmir Files’ with Jaya Prakash Rao Dhote and Mayank Singhania serving as co-producers. The production companies behind the film are Zee Studios and Abhishek Agarwal Arts in association with I Am Buddha Productions. ‘The Kashmir Files’ is all set to release theatrically on 11th March, 2022.
