The Kashmir Files is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language film written and directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri.  Released in March 2022, it is already the highest grossing Hindi movie of the year.

The movie is based on true incidents as narrated in video recorded testimonials of the victims and the families of Kashmiri Hindu genocide of 1990. The genocide of the Kashmiri Hindus in Kashmir, India following rising violence in an insurgency resulted in half a million people into forced exile, thousands were killed, many women raped, some cut alive on a chain saw and some drowned in rivers with boulders tied to them. Most recently, such barbarism was seen against Yezidis in Iraq but while Yazidis have gone back to their lands, the Kashmiri Hindus continue to live in exile and those who do try and live in Kashmir are getting killed even today.

 
The film maker highlighted the atrocities inflicted on the Hindus of Kashmir via a short documentary that records first person accounts of persecuted victims of Hindu Genocide in Kashmir. The film, The Kashmir Files is a first ever movie on the silver screen to highlight the plight of the Kashmiri Pandits and their long struggle for justice.
 
While referring to the controversies surrounding the cancellation of his talk by Oxford Union, Vivek talked about the Right to Free Speech and how certain vested interests and anti-India lobbies in UK were suffocating this basic freedom, thereby denying the Hindus their Genocide in Kashmir. Denial of Genocide, he remarked is as heinous as Genocide itself as Hindus continue to be murdered in Kashmir valley by Islamist terrorists even till today.
