The series Real Kashmir Football Club, starring Manav Kaul and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, explores everyday struggles in Srinagar through a fictional football club story. Directed by Mahesh Mathai and Rajesh Mapuskar, it draws from real events but faces criticism for uneven writing. Streaming on Sony LIV, it captures Kashmir beyond typical conflict imagery.

Srinagar, often called paradise on earth, is grappling with weakening traditional sectors like horticulture, tourism, and artisan trades following the 2019 dilution of Article 370. Ecological vulnerabilities, supply chain disruptions, and high unemployment have intensified economic fragility in the city. Governance shifts and capital-heavy development models are displacing local economies without providing sustainable alternatives.
