The film "Article 370," featuring Yami Gautam and Priyamani, made its debut in cinemas on February 23. Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, a National Award winner, the movie is based on the PMO's decision to revoke the special status granted to Jammu and Kashmir. According to reports, the political drama film has been released in 1,500 cinema halls across 2,200 screens in India.

 

Produced by Aditya Dhar, who is celebrated for his directorial success with "Uri: The Surgical Strike" and his subsequent National Film Award for Best Director accolade, "Article 370" showcases a talented cast including Yami Gautam, Priyamani, and Arun Govil. In the film, Yami Gautam portrays an intelligence officer, focusing on the strategy to combat terrorism in Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370. This significant move by the Indian government on August 5, 2019, saw the revocation of Article 370, leading to the removal of the special status previously held by the state of Jammu and Kashmir and its division into two union territories: Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.

 

During his Jammu visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a large crowd and mentioned Article 370. While addressing a mass gathering, he urged people to watch Yami Gautam’s to-be-released film Article 370.

 

PM Modi said, “I have heard that a film on Article 370 is going to be released this week… It is a good thing as it will help people in getting correct information.”

Actor Yami Gautam took to platform X and expressed her gratitude to PM Modi.

 

Reposting a clip from the event, Yami wrote on X, “It is an absolute honour to watch PM@narendramodi Ji talk about #Article370Movie.”

She, further, added: “My team and I really hope that we all exceed your expectations in bringing this incredible story to the screen.”

As the reviews roll in here are a few comments from viewers about the film.

Another user from Canada wrote, “It is gripping yet simplistic and tells the most effective story in an entertaining manner. The drama holds your attention and Yami Gautam never disappoints, here her performance is Outstanding. It’s always great to see a charming actor in Yami Gautam who captures your attention even when they are just standing in the frame. Priyamani is parallel and gives gripping performance too. Easily the better movie of 2024 so far."

 

“Article 370 not just a movie, it reflects emotions and Rashtraneeti over vested interests selfless sacrifices of numerous souls change after abrogation has affected only 3 names as was rightly addressed in Parliament. Itihaas banaane k liye itihaas likhna padta hai NayaBhaarat," posted another user.
