Film ‘Kaaya Palat’ premiered in Srinagar for the first time
The Jammu and Kashmir valley has been plagued by terrorism and separatism. In the 1990s, terrorists ordered the closure of cinemas, theaters and cinemas here. Many movie theaters were attacked and set on fire. As a result, the work of a large number of local artists came to a standstill and they began to face the impact of unemployment.
After becoming a Union Territory, and under the new film policy, local artists started working again as cinemas and theaters came here. The premiere of the movie “Kaya Palat” was held for the first time at INOX Cinemas in Srinagar. Local artists here consider this a historic step.
What did the film director say?
Tariq Khan, the producer of the film Kaaya Palat, felt that through the film he wanted to show the condition and beauty of the place and convey a message. Cinema in Kashmir has been dormant for decades due to political unrest, but this premiere marks a turning point and the team at Kayaprat is proud to present their film in a region that is now once again the capital of Bollywood and global cinema Movie. The screening of “Kayapalat” is a symbol of hope and resilience in Kashmir’s cultural landscape.
Kashmiri film industry takes historic step
Produced by Rahat Kazmi Film Studio, Tariq Khan Films, Tera Entertainment, Zeba Sajid Films and Alpha Productions, the film is in the news for its raw and touching story. Bollywood film actress Helly Shah says this is a historic moment for her as her film premieres in Srinagar where cinemas and theaters have been under lockdown since the 90s state.
He said that the youth of the valley had the talent to work in the Indian film industry and needed a platform for this. Bollywood singer Qazi Tauker said that this premiere is not just a show, but a historic moment. Many popular singers from Jammu and Kashmir have said: “Cinema has the power to heal, connect and inspire.” We are extremely proud to see Kashmir reclaiming its place in cinema. We hope this is the beginning of a new era of filmmaking in the Valley.

Nasir Aslam Wani, advisor to Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, is not far behind. Taking this opportunity, he said, artists in the valley have a new direction and the government will make every effort to help people in the film industry regain their lost identity.
