“The Kashmir Files is a TURNING point in Indian cinema. When 30 or 40 years later, we’ll talk about Indian cinema and its growth, people will say, ‘Cinema before The Kashmir Files and after The Kashmir Files’” – Anupam Kher

Anupam Kher has always been a dependable actor but in 2022, he emerged as the actor with the best success ratio. He was seen in Karthikeya 2, which was a surprise hit in Hindi. He also appeared in Uunchai, which got acclaim from critics and the public and also trended very well. And finally, he was one of the main actors in The Kashmir Files. Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, this film was the biggest Bollywood hit of 2022, earning Rs. 252.90 crores, shocking and surprising the trade and industry. In a recent interview, Anupam Kher made some interesting comments about this film.

While speaking to Hindustan Times, Anupam Kher said, “The Kashmir Files is a turning point in Indian cinema. When 30 or 40 years later, we’ll talk about Indian cinema and its growth, people will say, ‘Cinema before The Kashmir Files and after The Kashmir Files’. As a film, it’s cinematic brilliance, something India should be proud of.” He also said that The Kashmir Files made people realize the truth about Kashmiri Pandits’ tragedy after 32 years. He stated, “Also, besides its heart-touching story, people also embraced the film because of the guilt.”

What also was significant about The Kashmir Files was that it was reportedly made in just Rs. 15 crores. Hence, in terms of ROI, it is one of the biggest hits of Indian cinema. On this, Anupam Kher credited the aam junta for showing so much love to the film, “Audiences have always been intelligent. We only underestimate them due to our insecurities. A good film either does well commercially or becomes a cult after a few years. With all the propaganda and opposition, the film collected more than Rs. 75 crores overseas.”

Besides Anupam Kher, The Kashmir Files also stars Darshan Kumaar, Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Joshi, Chinmay Mandlekar, Prakash Belawadi, Puneet Issar and Bhasha Sumbli.
