The Tashkent Files released in 2019 revolved around the mysterious death of former Indian prime minister Lal Bahadur Shashtri in Tashkent. Vivek Agnihotri won the National Film Award for best screenplay – dialogues for the movie. The Tashkent Files had met with scorn from the Lutyens ecosystem and Congress but was critically acclaimed. Tashkent Files also received the special honour of being invited for screening at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Vivek Agnihotri’s next movie The Kashmir Files is based on the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits and the spread of Islamic terrorism in the valley.
