Vivek Agnihotri’s film earlier was also the official contender from India for Academy Awards 2023, but sadly the movie didn’t make it to the final nominations. The movie was selected for Seattle Film Festival 2022, Indian Panorama 2022, Awareness Festival 2022, and Swiss International Film Festival.

The success of The Kashmir Files didn’t stop at this. Anupam Kher, who played the character of Pushkar Nath Pandit, bagged many praises for his performance, leading him to win the Most Versatile Actor of the Year award at Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Award 2023.
