“We were all disturbed and surprised to see the film The Kashmir Files. We found this film obscene and propaganda based. This film is not appropriate for such a prestigious film festival. I can openly share my feeling with you guys because it is the soul of this event that we accept and discuss criticisms here.

In this festival, we saw 7 films in the Debut Competition and 15 films in the International Competition. Out of this, 14 films were of cinematic features. The 15th film The Kashmir Files was going to disturb and surprise all of us.

Ashok Pandit said – I have objection to the language of Lapid
This statement of Lapid has gone viral in the social media. Many people have condemned his statement. Film maker Ashok Pandit said that I have strong objection to this language of lapid used for the film. Depicting the massacre of 3 lakh Kashmiri Hindus cannot be called obscene. As a Kashmiri Pandit, I condemn this shameless statement.

Ashok Pandit is a film maker. He has made the films ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ and ‘The Chargesheet’.

Actor Darshan said – The film is not on obscenity, but on reality
Actor Darshan Kumar has also played an important role in the film. On Lapid’s statement, he said that after watching any film, every person has his own opinion. But there is no denying the fact that Kashmir Files is a film that talks about the plight of Kashmiri Pandits. These people are still fighting for justice against terrorism. So this film is not on vulgarity but on reality.
