The film has also initiated a conversation around the real-life incidents of the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits during the Kashmir insurgency on the internet. Many Kashmiri Hindus have shared their trauma when they had to leave their hometown. This has made the #KashmirFilesTruth trend on the social media platform.

Earlier, Modi had also praised the film and slammed those in the audience who criticised it. He had also made a special mention of the movie at the Parliamentary party meeting.

Many states like Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Tripura, Goa, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand in the country have made the film tax-free to motivate people to watch the film in theatres.
