A jury member of the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI) said the jury was "disturbed and shocked" by Vivek Agnihotri directorial 'The Kashmir Files'. "[It] felt to us like a propaganda, vulgar movie, inappropriate for an artistic competitive section of...a prestigious film festival," said Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid. The film is based on the 1990 Kashmiri Pandit exodus.
