Somewhere, I missed the pre and post interval switch in the narrative. But the pace, or rather the manner in which things happen, bothered me throughout. It's only obvious to expect a lot of strong dialogues, emotional uproar and dramatically unfolding events, and yes, you get all of that in abundance. And in Suresh Triveni's Jalsa, you get to see two such strong and fiery female characters heading the film.

What stays with us are the flashes of genuine pain that envelopes Pushkar Nath (Anupam Kher in a credible turn, even if some of his portions are overwrought), damaged and suffering from dementia, but who has never forgotten his beloved Habba Kadal. With all its propagandist verve, and cementing the current dispensation’s favoured discourse, it does manage to tap into the grief of the displaced Pandits. This is a film which stokes those embers, not examine the way forward - what else are we supposed to think when it closes on the face of a young boy, shot point-blank in the forehead? In all of the ghastly excesses it shows (a terrorist forcing a wife to sup on the blood of her husband, a live woman being sawed in half), what emerges is the deep-seated anger of the Kashmiri Pandits: the fires have been banked but the embers are still burning. ‘The Kashmir Files’ is not that film, and doesn’t pretend to be. There may be other films which would gather other points-of-view it doesn’t, for example, touch upon how people are still being killed even after the abrogation of Article 370, and what that says about the ‘vaadi’ today.

The emotional centre of the movie is Pushkar Nath Pandit ( Anupam Kher), a teacher who is ousted from his Srinagar home after his son is brutally killed. Right from the beginning, we know which side the film’s sympathies lie as far as ‘ The Kashmir Files’ is concerned, it was not an ‘exodus’, it was a ‘genocide’, in which thousands of Kashmiri Hindus were massacred, women were raped, children were shot point blank: even today, those families live like refugees.
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s ‘ The Kashmir Files’ expands on that narrative and makes it the sole lens through which he views it. The last time Bollywood brought up the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley was in the 2020 ‘ Shikara’, made by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Also Read | Explained: The Kashmir Pandit tragedy
