Talking to film critic Bhaskar on 'The Kashmir Files'
, film critic Ajay Brahmatmaj feels that 'The Kashmir Files' is a completely propaganda film. He said that this is not the first time that a film is being made to promote the views of a ruling party. Also, Ajay Brahmatmaj believes that business is very important for a film. After 2014, nationalism fits both 'Dhaandha and Satta', hence patriotism is being shown in most of the films. For example there are many movies like Uri: The Surgical Strike, Kesari, Thackeray, Manikarnika.
Brahmatmaj believes that after watching the film 'The Kashmir Files', it seems that the name of the film should be 'The Kashmir Pandit Files'. The other side of Kashmir has not been shown in this. He further said that the ending part of the film deliberately depicts the death of two dozen people.
The main reason for this is that it has an effect on people's mind for a long time. Brahmatmaj said, "Since 1977, many times governments or prime ministers have recommended the release of censored films, but for the first time in 75 years, the country's prime minister has himself appeared in the promotion of a film. Huh.'
