Wonderful film, hope it affected someone at least


Reading the board it is quite evident that Indian jingoistic crowd absolutely hated the film or at least the nationalists are inflamed on how dare the film show human aspect of the crisis.

It is futile arguing on politics and history when your only merit for discussion is the anthem hot sing or the flag you salute or in Pakistan-India case cricket team you absolutely hate. But I sincerely hope younger Indians can get off their ancestors created high horse of maniac nationalism and Pakistanis of pseudo-religious garb for just having areas where water come from - to actually accepting that Kashmiri (Hindu, Muslim and others) are better off without both trying to dictate what it should do.

Kashmir for Kashmiris and no other way forward. And I say this as a Pakistani national.

Great visual experience otherwise, raw emotions and of course there are a few places where Director lost the grip - but otherwise a class act!
