The Vidhu Vinod Chopra film is based on the 1990s exodus of Kashmiri Pandits and the spiral of violence and religious extremism that struck Kashmir in the decade. The Fox Star Studios bankrolled political drama, based on the book 'Our Moon has Blood Clots' by Rahul Pandita, stars first timers Aadil Khan and Sadia in lead roles. Aadil Khan and Sadia play a married couple, Shiv Kumar Dhar and Shanti Dhar.
It was widely reported that Shikara would fare average at the ticket window beacuse of its genre and its starcast featuring newcomers but numbers are expected to dip further during the week. The Vidhu Vinod Chopra film has also been mired in conspiracy as some Kashmiri Pandits have accused the director of failing to portray what really transpired in Kashmir.
Political analyst Anand Ranganathan took to Twitter to state the movie was 'a soppy, largely mediocre love story that glosses over the Kashmiri Hindu genocide'.
