New Delhi: Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has been given 'Y' category security with CRPF cover pan India, sources said on Friday (March 18).
Agnihotri's movie 'The Kashmir Files' starring Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumar and Anupam Kher has smashed all records at the box office. It earned Rs 97.30 crore in seven days and will probably enter the Rs 100 crore club today, on March 18.
'The Kashmir Files' is a Hindi film written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal. The film shows the story of the exodus of 'Kashmiri Hindus' in the early 1990s due to the enhanced Kashmir insurgency by Pakistani-sponsored terrorists.
In the film, Mithun, playing the role of a senior civil servant, calls the gory chapter a 'genocide'.
Pallavi Joshi plays an intellectual academician and a great motivator. She is suave, throws her one-liner carefully and waxes eloquently, creating a huge impact. The youngsters adore her.
Only at the fag end of the film – she talks about her real intent, 'the battle of narratives', she has to win. She uses a Kashmiri Pandit as an ultimate pawn. But she stands exposed at the end as her 'nexus' with a Kashmiri terrorist comes to light.
The film-makers had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who endorsed the movie and said that an 'ecosystem' was at work to suppress the truth.
The Prime Minister slammed the "ecosystem involved in burying the truths" and urged his party colleagues and MPs to stand up for those who "bring out the truths and facts that have been suppressed for years".
Some dialogues in the film 'The Kashmir Files' are worth pondering. The protagonist journalist tells a former top cop: "You were given Padma Sri so that you remain silent".
