The film ‘The Kashmir Files’, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, is not only getting tremendous response at the box office but its IMDb rating is also amazing. In the very first weekend, the film has done a business of Rs 27 crore 15 lakh. While on one hand the film is getting immense love, on the other hand IMDb has detected ‘Unusual Voting Activity’ for the film. So is there any planning and conspiracy deliberately trying to create hype about this film?
Support from Bollywood stars
Stars like Akshay Kumar, Kangana Ranaut, Parineeti Chopra, R Madhavan and Paresh Rawal have praised the film and the film has a rating of 10/10 on IMDb. It is very rare when a film gets a 10 out of 10 rating. IMDb’s rating is considered to be very reliable because it is the average number of public feedback and ratings.
THIS IS UNUSUAL AND UNETHICAL. https://t.co/Iwcc7yQCGk

IMDb itself dropped the rating!
A fan tweeted to ‘The Kashmir Files’ director Vivek Agnihotri saying, ‘The IMDb page of #TheKashmirFiles reports that our rating mechanism has detected unusual voting activity for this title. In order to maintain the reliability of our rating system, an alternate weight calculation has been applied to it. The fan told that he himself has dropped the rating of the film.
Vivek Agnihotri showed anger
Page reported that 131,433 votes have been garnered for the film and the film has been rated 8.3 due to unusual activity. Vivek Agnihotri wrote on this – In the true sense, this act of his is unusual and un-ethical. The film, which narrates the story of injustice done to Kashmiri Pandits, is getting a strong response from all over the country and due to many reasons the film remains in the headlines.
