| quote5 = If Wikipedia is to be believed — and it’s sickening and frightening how this self-help quick fix cocky rack of righteous knowledge is taken as the gospel truth by billions across the world—then The Kashmir Files, the film that has drastically revised decades-old mindsets on the savage slaying of Kashmiri Pandits in the 1990s, is nothing but a flickering fiction, a pack of lies, a web of deceit.

This article is biased and needs editing.

This is a biased article and doesn’t not even have the name of scholars who find it fictional. Shame. Shinychaudhary (talk) 09:44, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

:The article has lots of reliable sources for finding the film fictional. Have you looked at the footnotes? Bishonen | tålk 09:48, 20 July 2023 (UTC).

::how a journalist feels about a film shouldn't be included. Some people feel positive some negative. Personal feelings should be kept out it Akt 2000 (talk) 06:19, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

::That is incorrect because u have burder of evidence and fail to provide any, u see the people who find it fictional simply said so,for example

::1) Shashi Tharoor and MP of India

::2) Ravish Kumar a fierce and famous yet often biased media anchor

::as for Evidence that this film is correct

::The GOVERNMENT OF INDIA literally used it in the UNITED NATIONS against government of Pakistan

::The entire world including Pakistani Government and the Opposition Party of India had the opportunity to counter India's Argument, one simply can not ignore those arguments

::I respect wiki pedia but you all must realise that their is no universe that we can ignore the Official testimony of The worlds biggest democracy in the literal UN

::No other nations countered our argument

::These were then portrayed in the movie

:Absolutely right. And why can't we edit the page for correctness? Hie can a historical fact, based on numerous eye witnesses and records be termed as fictional? 2409:4080:D86:E154:937:2522:C86D:F399 (talk) 14:13, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

:Nothing in the movie is fictional. All of it is fact and there is evidence to support. Shame on Wikipedia. So much for your truth and unbiased reporting you talk of. Calling the suffering of millions of Hindus from Kashmir as fictional, is like saying holocaust didn’t happen. Hope you will stop selling yourself for money. 2601:204:C200:74B0:A48C:25CB:4FD6:4B05 (talk) 16:26, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

::We summarize what reliable secondary sources have said. There are many citations to these reliable sources in the article, which state that the film depicts a fictional storyline. One of the sources is the [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-60732939 BBC]. If you have a problem with this, go and complain to the BBC and the other reliable sources, not Wikipedia. And if you believe these sources are unreliable, then start a discussion at WP:RSN with evidence explaining why you think they are unreliable. GrabUp - Talk 18:33, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

::You should read the actual article about the incident the movie is based on, Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus. If you find anything incorrect and have reliable sources to correct it, please post them on that article’s talk page. This movie is a fictional portrayal based on the incident as per multiple reliable sources. GrabUp - Talk 18:46, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Sequel / Extension - The Kashmir Files: Unreported

I think we should add information about the docu-series The Kashmir Files: Unreported, which is being seen as a sequel to the movie. the series contains interviews that were conducted as a part of the research for the film.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 9 May 2025

In the, "Circa 1989–1990" subsection of the, "Plot" section, please change the sentence, "However, the hospital gets taken over by militants, who forbid the hospital staff from treating non-Muslims." to, "However, the hospital gets taken over by militants, who forbid the hospital staff from treating any Kafir." as that is the term used in the movie.
