"The Kashmir Files became a sensation as people realized that the terrible events of Kashmir from the 1990s have been hidden from the general public... The Kashmir Files exposes layers of deceit within the ecosystem of Bharatiya media, academic, and power establishments. An artistic creation becomes extraordinary if it takes the viewer from the immediate story to the dhvani of the universal. The movie is a story not just of Kashmir, but of our times, where deceit and hypocrisy lie just one layer below professions of justice and equality."
