Saw Haider...below is what I wrote as part of my review...
About the Kashmir story...As VB said in one interview...it needs to be aired...The Kashmiris are the ones that are important here...they have been the innocent victims in this Indo-Pak war!!...their pain & suffering needs to be acknowledged and we as a nation should empathize and help heal them!!!..they are Indians and one of us!...
This one is a patriotic story and the release on Gandhi's Birthday makes perfect sense...👏
~~~~~~~~
I don't see why people are talking of Hindu vs Muslims here..movie mentioned about the disappearance of Kashmiri Pandits too...
also the film is not totally blaming the Army...they were doing their job as they were told to..all are victims of the system...they were trying to ferret out the terrorists..the methods used of torture and camps was deplorable..it should not have been done but I guess it was done..it's part of our history..
it's like the innocent getting the backlash of sharing their home, city and state with a few terrorists..they also come under suspicion for just even interacting with them...humanity is lost in all this...that is what VB is trying to bring out in Haider...that we are humans & Indians first!!..
Also in the end credits of the film..Indian Army was applauded for their efforts in rescue during Kashmir Floods...
There are always many sides to a story...all sides have been hurt..be it Hindu or Muslim..that is the message of the film..that revenge won't help..we have to forgive and become free..revenge would only lead to more bloodshed and revenge...
