Director Vivek Agnihotri finished the script while stationed in the Himalayas at an undisclosed location. The video focused on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits that occurred in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Vivek Agnihotri claimed to have interviewed over 700 people from the exodus and documented their memories over the course of two years as part of the project.
The Kashmir Files, according to Hindustan Times' Monika Rawal Kukreja, is a "gut-wrenching picture that is audacious and ruthless." and dubbed Kher the film's "soul." "The Kashmir Files is not an easy watch," she wrote. You'd scream, sob, and be terrified as you saw the horror of tens of thousands of men and women who were forced to flee their homes overnight. Thankfully, it isn't your average Bollywood masala film, which is based on true events and told in rainbow colours. Agnihotri delivers the harrowing storey the way it should have been recounted." Firstpost's Satya Dosapati hailed it a "wonderful" film and wrote,
The Kashmir Files needs to be seen more by non-Kashmiri elements of society in order for them to learn the true facts concerning Kashmir, and the English subtitles in the film will tremendously assist them in this respect. In the end, the film sends a very good message.
