Review of Article 370
The film was reviewed by The Hindustan Times, and the review stated that, “Yami Gautam packs a punch and is terrific in her portrayal. Her no-nonsense demeanor lends a gravitas to the film and she lets her action and intense dialogue delivery do most of the talking. I particularly loved the parts when she stands up for her fellow men in uniform or confronts another colleague for always jeopardizing her breakthroughs. Delivering an equally powerful performance, Priyamani steals the show with her restrained yet effective act. Through the length of the film, she remains the calm in all the chaos around.”
About Article 370
The movie revolves around terrorism and corruption in Jammu and Kashmir, with Yami portraying the role of an intelligence officer. The trailer showcases the rise of terrorism in the area, as extremists attempt to take over control. Yami’s character becomes a part of the NIA and is authorized to undertake a mission in Kashmir. Additionally, the government has pledged to abolish Article 370 at any expense.
Aditya Dhar’s perspective on Article 370
In addition to Yami, the movie features Priyamani, Arun Govil, and Kiran Karmarkar in prominent roles. Aditya recently mentioned at the trailer launch of the film, “The intent of the film is correct and till the time I am a filmmaker, producer, and a director, the intent will always be right. The day the intent is wrong, I will stop making films. So, I don’t care what people say, especially those people who are agenda driven critics.”
He had also said, “I generally don’t think about critics who call it propaganda. I feel it’s the propaganda in their head which makes them look at this film as propaganda. Article 370 is an India-centric film. It is an incredible story. It is one of the best stories I have ever heard,” Dhar told reporters at the film’s trailer launch here.”
