Film-Making In J&K
3/23/2025 10:32:19 PM
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s recent statement that Jammu & Kashmir has found its place in film-making is not just an affirmation of the Union Territory’s cinematic revival but also a testament to the significant strides made in peace and development over the past five years.
The region, once a prime destination for Bollywood, had witnessed a lull in film-related activities due to Pakistan sponsored terrorism.
However, with improved security conditions, proactive governance, and targeted policy interventions, Jammu & Kashmir is reclaiming its lost glory as a preferred destination for Hindi, regional, and even foreign film productions.
For decades, J&K served as the backdrop for some of the most iconic Indian films. From the enchanting landscapes of ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’ to the breathtaking visuals in ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, the region has provided an unmatched aesthetic appeal to the silver screen. However, terrorism and political turmoil led to an exodus of film crews, shifting Bollywood’s focus to other locations like Switzerland and Himachal Pradesh.
The turnaround witnessed after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 has reignited interest in the region as a film-making hub.
A key catalyst in this transformation has been the Jammu & Kashmir Film Policy 2021, launched by the administration under LG Manoj Sinha.
This policy offers incentives to film-makers, streamlines permissions, and provides logistical support to attract production houses.
The government’s efforts in creating a single-window clearance system have significantly reduced bureaucratic hurdles, making it easier for filmmakers to choose J&K as their preferred shooting destination.
Additionally, the revival of cinema halls and investments in film-related infrastructure have contributed to a growing ecosystem that supports both local and international productions.
Beyond Bollywood, the renewed vibrancy in Jammu & Kashmir’s film industry is attracting regional cinema, including Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu productions.
The diverse topography, from the serene Dal Lake in Srinagar to the majestic mountains of Ladakh and the verdant valleys of Poonch and Rajouri, offers an unmatched variety of shooting locations.
Moreover, foreign filmmakers have started exploring J&K, drawn by its cinematic appeal and improved ease of doing business in the sector. The G20 meeting held in Srinagar further bolstered confidence among international stakeholders, reinforcing the region’s potential as a global film-making hub.
The resurgence of film-making in Jammu & Kashmir symbolizes more than just scenic cinematography—it represents a new era of hope, progress, and economic opportunities.
As the region reclaims its rightful place in the world of cinema, the collaboration between governance, industry, and local communities will determine its sustained success.
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s statement is not just a declaration but a vision—one that reflects the growing confidence in J&K’s role as an integral part of India’s cinematic and cultural renaissance.
