PANAJI: Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant today announced the “The Kashmir Files” movie will be tax-free across the state.
CM Sawant also said that “The Kashmir Files” will continue to be screened in the state with maximum possible shows.
Sawant on Monday attended a special screening of the film ‘The Kashmir Files’ directed by Vivek Agnihotri and his wife.
“The gripping tale of pain, struggle, suffering of Kashmiri Hindus need to be understood by everyone so that we ensure such a history is not repeated. I have spoken to the INOX management, and the movie will continue to be screened with maximum possible shows,” said CM Sawant.
A group of activists in Goa had alleged that a multiplex chain at Margao in South Goa district was trying to reduce the number of shows of the film after several seats were found empty during the screening while tickets were shown sold in online booking.
They alleged that INOX Theatre, Madgaon, Goa screened Kashmir Files but refused to put any
film banners in Goa.
“They also prevented people from watching the movie by claiming that tickets have been sold out,” activists said.

Written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri and produced by Zee Studios, the film depicts the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Kashmir following systematic killings of people from the community by Pakistan-backed terrorists.
