Bitterness between Kashmiri Muslims and Pandits may have aggravated in the recent past. However, a Kashmiri Muslim filmmaker Danish Renzu and a Kashmiri Pandit writer-producer Sunayana Kachroo have collaborated on a 10-minute movie titled The Good News to heal the wounds of the embittered communities by looking at their common past and sufferings.
The Good News, starring Salonie Patel and Gauri Batra playing Hindu-Muslim friends, is scheduled to be premiered during the Tongues on Fire UK Asian Film Festival in London on Saturday. Speaking to The Hindu ahead of the release, film-maker Renzu, who had earned applause for earlier movies The Illegal and Half Widow , described The Good News as a project that was sparked by the killings of members of minorities by gunmen in 2021 in Kashmir.
