Mission Kashmir - Where to Watch and Stream - TV Guide
This is a quick movie review/recommendation of an Indian film starring some of Bollywood’s finest: Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, and others. The name of this film is "Mission Kashmir". My alternate title for this movie is “Crayons and a Pink House”.
When Divyansh Pandey picked this topic to write about, he probably did not realize it but he picked a part of the world to write about that is of interest to me. His description of this wonderland is both charming and sad. In one instance, he calls Kashmir the “Switzerland of India” but in the title of his post, he calls this place “The Bleeding Heaven”. Extracted some profound and thought-provoking statements from the short article written by Mr. Pandey:
“Kids are picked up from school by militants and brainwashed to fight against India. For them, Its like ‘Born in Heaven brought up in hell’.”
(NOTE: The site where the article was published was shut down and I have been unable to find an online copy of the content republished elsewhere on the web.)
My interest in Kashmir developed after watching a film that was released in 2000 called “Mission Kashmir”. It was very sobering and there were two sentences or phrases that played over and over in my mind long after the movie had ended.
Movie Quote 1: “Were you dreaming of a pink house?”
Movie Quote 2: “… placing carbines instead of crayons in the hands of innocent children …”
Please bear in mind that my nationality is American, so my perspectives are that of an outsider. For me, the fragile thread of humanity extends all around the world and can so easily be snapped at any point. Kashmir, in my humble opinion, is one of those points.
A great movie! If you have not seen it, you should add it to your watch list.

A nice perspective on this movie. I saw this movie during Autumn break during one of my Post Graduate courses, along with my friends.
ReplyDeleteThe movie is about how the factories of Terror work, complicated relationships between Army faced with Terror operatives, but with innocent family members, who get brainwahsed.
Its a conflict of ideologies.
The Heroes are not totally above water.
The villain has vulnerability and a reason why they become so bad.
Of course, there is a high emotional drama, arising of consciousness to forego bad, and well tons of high voltage action.
Both Sanjay Dutt as the policeman and Hrithik Roshan as the basically good but turned Terrorist and in the end reformed person are excellent.
But one can never forget the superb acting by Jackie Shroff and his dialogue "Mera Baccha(My child...)" .
