Starring Soni Razdan, Anshuman Jha and Kulbhushan Kharbanda, No Fathers in Kashmir tells the current day story of Kashmir through the budding love story of two young 16-year-olds in search of their fathers who have gone missing in the valley of Kashmir. Director Ashvin Kumar was previously an Oscar-Nominee for his short film, Little Terrorist and has even won two National Awards for his feature films Inshallah Football and Inshallah Kashmir. However, getting No Fathers in Kashmir released was an uphill battle for Ashvin, as he was fighting for months to get the certification this film deserved. We are elated to see this movie out and garnering such a good response. We round off some of the celebrity reactions to this special movie.

Nimrat Kaur took to Twitter to congratulate the team and urged people to go out and watch it since this film has not had the hype the other films have. She put out this tweet saying – It takes Herculean efforts to get a film like #NoFathersInKashmir made and released on the big screen. Bravo Team @nofathers_movie! Here’s to the courage and importance of such stories being told..huge respect @ashvinkumar! Please go to the theatres and support such cinema. Alia Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt also shared their tweets praising their mother Soni Razdan’s film.

“The film is a powerful reminder of Kashmir’s heartbreaking half state. There is a frightening honesty to scenes, a strong cast, and a special mention goes to Maya Sarao for tugging at our heart strings with her performance.”

Mira Nair

“I think its a very brave film and its a timely film, a film that we should see and keep seeing. It’s also a moving film and its beautifully performed and skilfully made. I thinks it’s also poignant to see war through the eyes of the children.”

Rasika Dugal

“The haunting silences and the innocence of ‘ no fathers in Kashmir’ made me revisit the grief of the Kashmir situation. Beautifully made film with some delicate performances”

Speaking about it, director Ashvin Kumar said, “10 years ago in my film Inshallah Football, I had warned that alienating the youth of Kashmir would have catastrophic consequences. Censorship of the truth about Kashmir has caused a crisis of compassion, amplifying misguided fears of ordinary Indians towards ordinary Kashmiris. Keeping the public away from information and truth is such a myopic policy – it only breeds more hostility when the need of the hour is empathy, leading to peace. Anyone who genuinely wants peace will understand that we must first stop censoring films that tell the truth about Kashmir.”

Alia Bhatt held a special screening to support her mother Soni Razdan where some industry folk came out in full support. Have you watched the movie yet, if not are you going to? Leave your comments in the box below. Keep following CineBlitz for all the latest in Bollywood.
