Irrespective of collections, the film seems to portray the 1990 episodes that happened in Kashmir. I have not seen the film. Farooq Abdulla was tge CM at that time and late Mufyi Mohammed was Central Home Minister under VP Singh who was PM.The Hindus had to run away from Kashmir because of the above combination of above three goons in authority. An impartial enquiry should be ordered and Farooq Abdulla should be sent in jail since the other two are not alive. It was unfortunate that India was passing through a critical period at that time with idiots like Charan Singh, Dave Gowda, Chandra Sekhsr, VP Singh, Gujral etc became Prime Ministers and the Central Govt was very weak. Such a situation cannot happen today as the Army is fully empowered to act. Read allPost comment
