ZEE5 Global confirms digital premiere of Bollywood blockbuster The Kashmir Files on 13th May 2022

ZEE5 Global, the largest streaming platform for South Asian content, today announced the digital premiere of Bollywood's recent sensation, “” on 13th May in select global markets including U.S., Canada and Australia, with other markets to be announced soon. Post a record-breaking success at the box office, “The Kashmir Files” will now be available in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada, and will also be subtitled in English.

Written and directed by the distinguished Vivek Agnihotri, the film stars veteran actors like Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi and Darshan Kumaar in pivotal roles. The story narrates the void that still looms in the valleys of Kashmir. Director Vivek Agnihotri has done splendid work in narrating the emotional distress of the Kashmiri Pandits; echoing their sense of deprivation, the pain of departure, the fear of existence and the struggle to survive.

Actor Anupam Kher shared, “The Kashmir Files is a depiction of an incident that happened with our people, years ago and is still not known to so many. The success of the film is a testimony to the honesty with which Vivek and the crew have worked on this project. The film received appreciation from all over the nation and now for those who couldn't watch it on the big screen, The Kashmir Files will be available on Global.”

Darshan Kumaar further shared, “The Kashmir Files is very close to my heart as it has been a career-defining film for me. I am overjoyed that it has turned out to be one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of the year. I am looking forward to its premiere on ZEE5 Global and am excited for it to reach many more people.”

Ever since I watched Takeshi Kitano's "Hana-Bi" for the first time (and many times after that) I have been a cinephile. While much can be said about the technical aspects of film, coming from a small town in Germany, I cherish the notion of art showing its audience something which one does normally avoid, neglect or is unable to see for many different reasons. Often the stories told in films have helped me understand, discover and connect to something new which is a concept I would like to convey in the way I talk and write about films. Thus, I try to include some info on the background of each film as well as a short analysis (without spoilers, of course), an approach which should reflect the context of a work of art no matter what genre, director or cast. In the end, I hope to pass on my joy of watching film and talking about it.
