‘The Kashmir Files’ presents a fictional narrative centered around the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Indian-administered Kashmir. It frames the exodus and its lead-up as a genocide, though this framing is disputed by scholars.
Starring Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumar, Pallavi Joshi, and Anupam Kher himself, the film revolves around a Kashmiri Hindu college student. Raised by his exiled grandfather without knowledge of his parents’ fate, the student embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind his family’s deaths after his grandfather’s passing. The storyline alternates between his journey in 2020 and his family’s struggles three decades prior.
