Ramana,
I have'nt seen all of those movies and certainly not Fanna. I know you have word limitation, but here's a couple more observations you might want to point out.
1. While terrorism in Kashmir gets its due in Bollywood movies, films on the victims of terrorists - the Kashmiri Pandits - have seen little of their struggle depicted. Except for a poorly produced "Sheen", there has been no significant film in this direction.
2. There have also not been many movies that have explored the relation of the security forces (Indian Army) with the local Kashmiri population. "Yahaan" again is the only saving grace that delves into that relation, albeit with the Bollywood twist of a love story.
