Until Shikara was made, most popular movies on Kashmir seemed to forget that Kashmiri Pandits ever existed.

Shikara turned out to be a sugar-coated, irresponsible film that only weakened the narrative.
It was only after The Kashmir Files that people finally began to talk openly about Kashmir Pandits.
