I’ve always said that this was not my film, this was people’s film. I was just a medium to narrate the story of the victims – Sikhs, Dalits, Hindus, Muslims, Christians – my film is the voice of these people.”

Vivek added that the movie’s actual win lies in the truth that it was beloved by the victims. “It is the sound of their pain that resonated worldwide. We worked day and night to spread this story to the entire world. National Award is a stamp of this validation. I dedicate this award, on behalf of my company I Am Buddha, to all the victims of terrorism, especially the Kashmiri Hindus. This is also for all those Indians who are the victims of terrorism in the world. This film is their voice, their pain and this award is dedicated to all those victims,” he mentioned.

The Kashmir Files was additionally a business hit on the Box Office. It confirmed the plight of the Kashmiri Hindus through the exodus of mid-year 1990.
