The film depicts the story of the exodus and genocide of Kashmiri Hindus. Stars like Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi and Mithun Chakraborty have played lead roles. The Kashmir Files did good business. It earned more than Rs 290 crore at the box office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When PM Modi hailed The Kashmir Files<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the film in the BJP parliamentary party meeting. He had said that such films should continue to be made as the truth is revealed through them. Efforts have been made to suppress the truth about Kashmir which is shown in the film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Countries that banned The Kashmir Files<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New Zealand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film has been banned in New Zealand. The film was earlier approved for release with an A certificate, but after a review on the demand of the Muslim community, the censor board decided to ban the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vivek Agnihotri&#8217;s film was about to be released in Singapore, but the film was banned by the censor board there. After this news came, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took a jibe at Vivek Agnihotri and at the BJP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that the film has a one-sided portrayal of the wrong image of Muslims and the persecution of Hindus in the ongoing conflict in Kashmir. The film has the potential to create enmity between several communities and harm brotherhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/india-news\/pakistani-rendition-b-praaks-mann-bharrya\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/india-news\/pakistani-rendition-b-praaks-mann-bharrya\/\">This Pakistani rendition of B Praak\u2019s Mann Bharrya will melt your heart | Watch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The film &#8216;The Kashmir Files&#8217;, released on March 11, 2022, is based on the 1990 Kashmir insurgency. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":414388,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid kicks off controversy with Kashmir Files comments\n\n\n#KashmirFiles #TheKashmirFiles #NadavLapid #NadavMustApologize #Trending #TrendingNow #Entertainment #latestnews ","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[111252,125714],"tags":[147608,147601,102706,122422,147602],"yst_prominent_words":[51257,16957,39836,9637,47716,5278,59481,4251,3715,15424,8995,4621,8325,42910],"ppma_author":[140543],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/d2r2ijn7njrktv.cloudfront.net\/apnlive\/uploads\/2022\/11\/29103032\/Capture-17.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"authors":[{"term_id":140543,"user_id":4,"is_guest":0,"slug":"apnnewsdesk","display_name":"APN Live","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/478eacb893eda88aa6ed8d99b005bf58?s=96&r=g"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414386"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414386"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=414386"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=414386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- html is corrupted -->
