Raj Prakash criticises The Kashmir Files describes it as nonsense

In a recent lecture, Prakash Raj criticises to The Kashmir Files as “one of the stupid flicks.” He harshly questioned Vivek Agnihotri’s methods as well. He went on to call Vivek “shameless” and continued to term this movie “propaganda.”

Last week in Kerala, at the Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters, Prakash participated on a panel. While passionately criticizing the movie at the occasion, he stated, “One of the absurd movies is The Kashmir Files, but we know who made it. Shameless. A jury from abroad spat on them. They continue to be shameless. The filmmaker, the other person, is still asking, “Why am I not getting an Oscar?” He won’t even be awarded a Bhaskar.”

“I tell you because there is a sensitive media out there,” he continued. You can make a propaganda movie here. I’m aware that they spent close to 2000 crore, based on my sources, just to produce movies like this. However, you can’t always trick people.

“All of us were upset and shocked by the fifteenth movie, The Kashmir Files,” he said in his conclusion. That seemed like a crass, propagandist film that had no place in the aesthetic competition of such a prominent film festival. I feel completely at ease discussing my sentiments with you here, on stage. This festival’s attitude undoubtedly allows for the acceptance of a critical debate, which is crucial for both art and daily life.

“Vivek Issues Challenge to Alleged Urban Naxals and Israeli Filmmaker”

Vivek responded to the allegations. He stated: “I issue a challenge to all of these urban naxals and the renowned Israeli filmmaker that if they can show even one scene, event, or line of dialogue is not entirely accurate, I will stop creating movies. Who are these individuals who consistently speak out against India? These are the same folks that obstructed the disclosure of the facts about Moplah and Kashmir.”
