Pahalgam terror attack sends a big blow to Bollywood’s Kashmir return
This brutal attack in the once-tranquil town of Pahalgam has dealt a severe blow to Bollywood’s cautious but hopeful return to the Kashmir Valley. Long celebrated as “India’s mini Switzerland” for its breathtaking beauty and perceived safety, Pahalgam had re-emerged as a preferred filming destination in recent years. But the horrifying massacre of 26 unarmed tourists has not only shattered that image—it has cast a long, dark shadow over the region’s cinematic revival, reminding the industry that even the most picturesque backdrops can hide unspeakable tragedies.
