India Today
Abhishek Bachchan, who will soon be seen in Dasvi, is all praise for The Kashmir Files. The actor said that a film can't work well unless it is good.
Ever since Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files released on March 11, it has become the talk of the town. Now Abhishek Bachchan has praised the film, which is based on the genocide of the Kashmiri Pandits in the 90s. The actor said that he has not 'met anyone who said it's a bad film'. Vivek Agnihotri thanked Abhishek for lauding the film.
The Kashmir Files has earned Rs 236 crore and is still going strong at the box office. In a conversation with Times Now, Abhishek Bachchan lauded The Kashmir Files. When asked if if films can be a solution to political problems, Junior Bachchan said, "I depends on each individual on how they interpret the film. Your intentions should be right. If your intentions are clear, everything will be fine. If the film is good, then people will watch it."
The Dasvi star further added, "You were talking about The Kashmir Files. The genesis of it is what? We have been discussing that for the last two-three days. Whatever you say, you want to politicise it, you want to communalise it, that is your freedom of speech and opinion. But if the film wasn’t good, it wouldn’t have worked. There is no other reason why it’s working. We can take out a lot of other meanings and ripple effects. The genesis is that it has to be a good film."
He said that he can't comment on the film as he hasn't watched it but also stated that no one yet has said that it is a ba film. "But I have not met anybody who said it's a bad film. That is the only truth of cinema. If a film works well business-wise, it has to be a good film, otherwise it won't work."
Thanking Abhishek Bachchan, Vivek Agnihotri wrote, "Thank you @juniorbachchan for your graciousness
The Kashmir Files is based on the life of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, during the Kashmir insurgency. The film is a true story, based on video interviews of the first generation victims of The Kashmir Genocide of the Kashmiri Pandit Community. It’s a heart-wrenching narrative of the pain, suffering, struggle and trauma of Kashmiri pandits which also questions eye-opening facts about democracy, religion, politics and humanity.
