Someone mentioned in the movie review thread that Modi is using suffering of KP for political gain in the upcoming elections. I didn't want to drag political discussions in that thread, so I'm asking here when the film should have been released.
Also to my knowledge, this year elections were held from the 14th February to 7th March in four states (UP, Punjab, Goa, Manipur, and Uttarakhand). TheKashmirFiles was released on March 11th. According to my knowledge, the next elections in HP and Gujurat will be held in November-December. So, which upcoming state elections did Modi try to influence by promoting TKF?
The larger question is whether or not the film, which does not whitewash the culprits or sympathise with their acts or exaggerate the victims' suffering, by telling a story as it is should have been released at all and what's wrong if its being promoted?
