IFFI jury head Nadav Lapid remark on Vivek Agnihotri's 'The Kashmir Files' sparks row in the country

Nadav Lapid, head of the IFFI jury, made some controversial remarks at the closing of the 53rd International Film Festival of India. 'The Kashmir Files', directed by Vivek Agnihotri, was criticised by the Israeli filmmaker who was in attendance at the International Film Festival of India. The Indian movie was labelled as "propoganda, vulgar movie" by the director during the event on Monday.

The Kashmir Files was chosen for the Indian Panorama Section and premiered on November 22. The jury, according to Lapid, was "disturbed and shocked" when they saw the movie being screened at the festival.
