# Salaam Kashmier

Salaam Kashmier (transl. Salute Kashmir) is a 2014 Indian Malayalam-language action drama film directed by Joshiy and written by Sethu from a story by Shaiju Anthikkad. It was produced by Mahaa Subair. The film stars Suresh Gopi, Jayaram, and Miya, alongside Junaid Sheikh, Lalu Alex, Vijayaraghavan and Krishna Kumar. The songs were composed by M. Jayachandran, while C. Rajamani provided the background score.

## Plot

Sreekumar (Jayaram) is a simple, loving husband who manages household chores while his wife, Suja Sreekumar (Mia George), works as a bank manager. Though their marriage appears normal, there are hints that Suja is hiding something. At the same time, Sreekumar himself seems to be running from his past, unwilling to discuss his previous life.
One day, the arrival of Colonel Tomy Eapen Devassy (Suresh Gopi) shatters their peaceful life. Tomy, a high-ranking military officer, seems to know Sreekumar well and tries to get him back to his old life. As the film progresses, we learn that Sreekumar was once a highly skilled military officer who was forced to abandon his duty and live under a new identity.
The Big Revelation: Who is Suja Sreekumar?
As Sreekumar's past starts to catch up with him, another shocking truth is unveiled: Suja Sreekumar was once known as Leena Jacob. She, too, has a hidden past—one that she never shared with her husband. Whether she was connected to the military or involved in some other classified mission is left for the story to explore.
Now, with both Sreekumar and Suja hiding their true identities, their relationship is tested. Meanwhile, their enemies begin closing in, threatening their peaceful life.
The Climax
Forced to confront their pasts, Sreekumar and Suja must work together to escape the dangers that come their way. In an action-packed climax, Sreekumar finally embraces his old self and takes down the threats, proving why he was once a legendary officer. Suja/Leena, too, reveals her real self, showing that she is not just an ordinary bank manager.
The movie ends with both of them accepting each other's past, realizing that they were both living a lie, yet found true love in the process.

## Release

Salaam Kashmier was released in theatres on 13 February 2014. The film was originally scheduled for release on 25 November 2013, but it was postponed due to a delay in obtaining a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Indian Army. It is common practice for films with military themes to secure an NOC after being reviewed by military intelligence officers.
