Kashmir has been one of the favourite subjects of Bollywood films, especially the ones which deal with politics. Filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s production Article 370 is also a political drama based in the valley with a dose of action. Starring Yami Gautam Dhar in the lead, the movie looks back at the abrogation of Article 370 from the state in 2019.

The film, which released yesterday on February 23, was expected to perform decently at the box office. But it has actually surpassed expectations by taking a positive opening of Rs. 6.12 crores in India. By doing this, the movie has proved all calculations and estimations wrong.

One needs to note that Article 370, like many other films playing in theatres, was benefitted by the fact that it was Cinema Lovers Day yesterday, through which one could watch any movie in any theatre and at any time just for Rs. 99. So, it will be interesting to see if the film continues to earn well today (Saturday) and on Sunday. The reviews from the critics and the audience’s word-of-mouth has been positive. Hence, the movie has a good chance of continuing its momentum.

Directed by Aditya Jambhale, Article 370 also stars Priyamani, Arun Govil, Kiran Karmarkar, among others.
