This is a film we’ve never seen before: Syeed explores the heart of a rarely visited landscape, and the souls of the resilient Kashmiri people. This is an amazing film. Read full review

Valley of Saints finds a poignant humanity in this chaste romance, which awakens in Gulzar a wondrous sense of possibility, along with a new awareness of the world’s complexity. Read full review

Leaves just an anecdotal impact, but handsome lensing, acoustic score and male leads’ playful rapport lend it gentle appeal. Read full review

Positive uplifting story-line and beautiful scenery. Story takes place in Kashmir. After watching this film, I want to learn more about this region of the world. This film is available on Netflix Instant.
