Bollywood director Vivek Agnihotri is beaming with joy and excitement after his directorial film The Kashmir Files has qualified for the Oscars 2023. The actors of The Kashmir Files have been shortlisted for the Best Actor category. But director Hansal Mehta dug into it all.
Director Agnihotri’s film The Kashmir Files, which released last year in March, received mixed responses from the audience and was a commercial success. Hansal Mehta retweeted a post that was earlier tweeted by New York-based columnist and writer Aseem Chhabra and read: “Let me get this straight – this director who claims his divisive film is ‘shortlisted’ for the Oscars, LIES. His film only qualified for the Oscars. Any film can qualify if it has a limited release in LA. Hanzal Mehta reacted and tweeted saying, “You are an anti-national genocide denier.”

Several fans celebrated and also congratulated the team as The Kashmir Files is one of the 301 films that were deemed eligible for the Oscars criteria. While others trolled Vivek and criticized him for blowing up his film.
Here’s how netizens reacted –
Oscar eligible basically means – the film must have been released in theaters in every two major US cities (any / LA / Chicago..) from Jan-Dec 2022 for at least 7 days – (or something like that) – that is all. (or so I think) good luck to all who will be nominated.

Eligible ≠ Listed
It’s like 12th pass saying he is in ‘crack list’ for IIT-JEE. pic.twitter.com/CKNxBbl0Ba

Abhi beizzati kafi nahi ti. External validation is so important to you. When foreign critics also call it vulgar propaganda, you will shamelessly attack them and undermine their credibility. pic.twitter.com/ESn8HFcXcJ

Another comment from the jury,
Vulgar, propaganda and god knows what else they will add this time.
Just because you are shameless, do you have to keep embarrassing India every time???— Sathya (@Sathya2215) January 10, 2023
FALSE signal
The Oscars released a list of 301 eligible films. The Kashmir Files is one of them
The Kashmir Files is not on the Oscars shortlist.
