The trailer looks good and well-acted. The Kashmiri Pandit genocide is an aspect of Indian history that has not been well addressed or explored. Probably because it is complex, controversial, and still raw for many people. But different perspectives need to be expressed and cinema is a good medium.

That being said I am skeptical of Vivek Agnihotri - he can be intentionally inflammatory.

No. It has more to do with the identity of the victims (and the perpetrators for that matter). Hindu lives are pretty much considered expendable. So a lot of the usual suspects suddenly discover "nuance" while discussing the issue. Here's Burkha almost rationalizing their massacre.

I've seen some galaxy brains on Twitter claim that the genocide was a blessing in disguise for Kashmiri Hindus.

I do share your skepticism on Agnihotri. The guy is a hack who is way too crude as a film-maker to do justice to this subject.

The trailer is actually impressive and seems like an honest take on the KP genocide. Looking forward to it.

An NYtimes article from 1991 about the genocide and mass exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits!

Honestly i m not getting good vibes from this movie and probably wont watch it...It is literally a movie of the Bhakts, by the Bhakts, for the Bhakts. So i guess it will be a propaganda movie with subtle or not so subtle anti muslim/anti congress/anti Nehru rhetoric given that the director is an unapologetic grade-A Bhakt.. Rather than trying to get to the bottom of the issue and promoting peace and understanding they will turn it into a black and white issue with heroes and villans and victims.

If creating a factual film on actual horrors against Hindus in Kashmir, makes us a Bhakt, then I am a proud bhakt.

If you already have formed your opinion and biases about this subject and this movie is going to embolden those biases then i m sure you will get a kick out of it. But i dont trust the director to be factual and i think he will turn it into a propaganda movie. It wont help KPs in any way but unnecessarily turn audience against kashmiri muslims which again wont help at all. I was born after the exodus happened so i dont have any stong opinion on it. I think it will be "accidental PM" kinda movie which even KPs might resent.

Thats the thing...i dont think this movie will be factual. I dont trust the director. He must have turned it into hindu vs muslim story, which will not only send out a wrong msg but will also be detremental to the cause of KPs rehabilitation in kashmir. I have never seen any issue get as misued as "KPs exodus" from kashmir

Who do you think committed this genocide?

If we can't call out and rightly blame the Muslims who committed these horrors, then it is not fair, not only for the Kashmiri Pandits, but to India as well.

How long will you hide the truth and excuse the crimes committed by the "minority"

lol, you do realise that Muslim terrorists committed a genocide against Hindu Kashmiris, they were specifically targeted because of their very religious identity!.. and you're worrying that the director will turn this into a Hindu-Muslim thing?

Finally, This is a story that needs to be told, this looks well made. I am looking fwd to watch this.
