That felt to us like propaganda, vulgar movie, inappropriate for an artistic competitive section of such a prestigious film festival. I feel totally comfortable to share openly these feelings here with you on stage. Since the spirit of having a festival is to accept also a critical discussion which is essential for art and for life,&#8221; Mr Lapid said during his address at\u00a0the closing ceremony of\u00a0the film festival.<\/p>\n<p>Actor Anupam Kher, who played a protagonist in the movie, called the criticism of &#8216;The Kashmir Files&#8217;\u00a0at the film festival &#8220;pre-planned&#8221; and accused Mr Lapid of being insensitive towards the suffering of Kashmiri Pandits.\u00a0&#8220;This seems pre-planned as immediately after his remarks the toolkit gang became active,&#8221; Mr Kher said.<\/p>\n<p>He said it&#8217;s shameful for a person from (Jews) community that suffered\u00a0the horrors of holocaust to make such offensive remarks on a movie based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits.\u00a0&#8220;May God give him wisdom.
