According to reports, police had to reach a theatre in Noida to pacify the audience after a huge ruckus was caused during the screening of Vivek Agnihotri's film The Kashmir Files. The chaos was caused because the screening of the movie was briefly disrupted due to an alleged glitch in the central air conditioning.

Police officials revealed that the glitch in the central air conditioning system was fixed immediately by the mall management, and the screening of the film resumed soon. The incident took place at around 7.30 pm on Tuesday (March 15, 2022).

Meanwhile, social media users alleged that the screening of the movie was halted deliberately by a multiplex official belonging to a minority community. However, Police officials have denied the allegations.
