Despite some drop in figures according to Tuesday’s numbers, the controversial movie has managed to enter the Rs 200 crore club during the pandemic era.
While the numbers are mind boggling to say the least, the reviews too have been divided. “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, played Anupam Kher in a credible, moving turn,” Indian Express’ review Shubhra Gupta said.
The Kashmir Files has also won praise of artes like Kangana Ranaut and filmmaker Hansal Mehta. While Ranaut urged everyone to see the movie, Mehta stated that while his ideologies were different than Agnihotri’s, he could not help but laud the director’s effort to make a movie on his own terms.
The Kashmir Files also stars Pallavi Joshi, Darshan Kumar and Mithun Chakraborty in pivotal roles.
