Mission Kashmir

Mission Kashmir received generally positive reviews from critics. Mohammad Ali Ikram of Planet Bollywood gave it an 8.5/10 rating, praising the films technical quality and the lead actors performances. Saisuresh Sivaswamy of Rediff.com wrote, This is a story from the directors heart, not his head, and the sincerity comes across in frame after frame.

Giving the film 4 out of 5 stars, N K Deoshi of apunkachoice.com wrote, Beneath all the drama that goes on in the movie there lurks the aspiration to get across to people the message of what actually people of Kashmir are going through. Savitha Padmanabhan of The Hindu stated, Mission Kashmir might have its faults but it is definitely a cut above the rest of the commercial Hindi films that have been made on terrorism. She also praised the casts performance and the films production values. Film journal Screen praised the performances, but further wrote, Chopra makes a sincere effort in his latest film Mission Kashmir to bring to the fore, the turmoil in the valley.

But one feels disappointed, all the same, that there is very little of Kashmiriyat in the story, which is more of a personal conflict between the victim of a police shoot-out and a police officer.
