The Kashmir Files plot and cast

There are numerous veterans associated with the film, like Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, among others. The plot revolves around the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, and Mithun's character asserts that it was not just an 'exodus', but was a 'genocide.' Anupam Kher's character could be seen trying to worryingly escape, holding slogans like 'remove Article 370' and lamenting the 'destruction due to politics' and the 'Azadi' slogans as a 'song of terrorism.'   

The story seemed to be from the point of view of Darshan Kumaar's character, who arrives in Kashmir and then gets involved in the protests. On the other hand, there is Pallavi Joshi's character who says, 'Kashmir was never an integral part of India' and terms 'Azadi as an anthem of freedom'. Right from a man claiming he was ready to kill, to many gunshots and bombs going off, there are numerous tense moments. 

'32 years later, the emotions & the pain remain the same. Witness the brutally honest story of the Kashmir Genocide," reads the official description of the film. 

The film is gearing up for release on March 11. The film also stars Chinmay Madlekar, Prakash Belawadi, Puneet Isaar, Bhasha Sumbli, Mrinal Kulkarni, Prithviraj Sarnaik.
