Mumbai, March 11 (NationPress) As The Kashmir Files marked its third anniversary in Hindi cinema on Tuesday, filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri stated that if his 2022 film unsettled audiences, then the forthcoming movie ‘The Delhi Files’ will profoundly impact viewers because my life’s mission is to unveil the darkest truths of our history.
Vivek took to X, previously known as Twitter, where he shared a promotional image of The Kashmir Files, which narrates a fictional tale revolving around the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Indian-administered Kashmir.
He expressed: “Dear friends, They attempted to silence me. They sought to erase history. Yet, The Kashmir Files evolved into a movement—shaking the nation and uncovering the truth behind the Kashmiri Hindu genocide.”
He mentioned that The Kashmir Files, featuring Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, and Pallavi Joshi, represented a voice for the voiceless.
“The Kashmir Files transcended being just a film; it was a revolution, a voice for the unheard, and an unyielding pursuit of justice.”
The Kashmir Files portrays the exodus and the events leading to it as a genocide, a perspective deemed inaccurate by some academics. The film asserts that these truths were concealed by a conspiracy of silence.
“If The Kashmir Files troubled you, The Delhi Files will shatter you—because my life’s mission is to expose the darkest, most hidden, and untold truths of our history, regardless of their discomfort. -VRA #3YearsOfTheKashmirFiles #RightToJustice #TheDelhiFiles”
The Kashmir Files follows a Kashmiri Hindu college student (portrayed by Darshan), raised by his exiled grandfather, who is shielded from the details surrounding his parents' demise. The narrative alternates between the student's journey in present-day 2020 and his family's struggles from thirty years prior.
The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter is reportedly focused on the 1946 Calcutta Riots. The Delhi Files is the third installment in Agnihotri’s film trilogy, which also includes The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files.
