The Kashmir Files was one of the biggest hits of 2022 and proved what positive word of mouth can do to a movie’s collections. The movie emerged as a blockbuster and earned Rs 250 crore plus at box office while being made with a budget of around Rs 20 crores.
The movie had divided opinions and while many appreciated the film’s take on the Kashmir genocide, others termed it a propaganda movie. Despite the controversy, the film emerged victorious at the box office and was expected to sweep awards. This, hasn’t happened and the film has failed to win any at the recently concluded Filmfare Awards. The film was nominated in several categories including the best film and failed to register a win.
Producer Abhishek Agarwal took to social media to criticize the organizers for not recognizing him and The Kashmir Files at all. In fact, Abhishek was not even invited to the event.
“FILMFARE IS UNFAIR! I have produced and backed #TheKashmirFiles with the intention of telling a true story to the world and it went on to become a blockbuster. The film received 7 nominations at the
@filmfare awards and I am not invited to the event. It is time that the entertainment industry recognizes the producers. They are the ones who make stars. Respect and recognition would only motivate us better to back great stories, ” he posted.
