Artículo 370

Film Review: Article 370 currently screening in theatres!!

Inspired by true events, this film is about Article 370 in Kashmir, its incorporation, political manipulation & finally its abrogation in August 2019.

Two female protagonists in thick of things are Yami Gautam as a feisty Intelligence Officer Zooni Haksar & Priyamani as Rajeshwari Swaminathan, a determined Deputy Secretary to the PMO.

The abrogation process happens on 2 fronts

• fighting terrorists & separatists on the streets of Kashmir by our army & intelligence agencies
• Diplomatic battles that are fought in Parliament by Politicians.

Both Yami Gautam & Priyamani play characters with totally different personalities with Yami playing an NIA officer with a volatile personality, while Priyamani essays the part of a seasoned bureaucrat with a cool & calm demeanor. Both are brilliant and have aced their parts totally !!

Apart from the protagonists above , Raj Zutshi as the separatist leader Jalal breezes through his role with diabolical zeal . Divya Seth as Mehbooba Mufti , a quiet manipulative politician, Arun Govil as PM Modi, Kiran Karmakar as Amit Shah & Vaibhav Tatwawadi's performances too deserve appreciation.

Direction by Aditya Suhas Jambhale is great, narrative is fast paced and will keep u engrossed all throughout. The first half sets the precedence for the adrenaline rush action that happens in the 2nd half. Some creative liberties have been taken in the end which are justified.

Saw a lot of happy faces while coming out of the cinema hall 🙂. Great watch .. go for it!!

Going with 3.5/5 for this one .. Adios🙂!!

Hats off to the director. They have covered all angles around Article 370 - political, legal, economical, social and security - all in 2.5 hours.

Great performances by Yami Gautam, Kiran Karmarkar and Arun Govil. The movie starts around 2015 seperatist insurgency and shows all important events in the valley in timeline upto the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019.

The legal complications and intrepretations on the abrogation which not a lot of people are aware about, are also covered in the film on a surface level.

There are no masala dialogues or songs, and movie is gripping to the end through great acting, screenplay, bgm and direction.

Watch this with your family in cinemas.

"Must see drama on why Kashmir was burning for so many years" is an essential cinematic exploration of the complex socio-political dynamics fueling the longstanding conflict in the region. Through its compelling narrative, the film delves deep into the manipulation of ordinary citizens by politicians, who exploit divisions based on religion, caste, and other identities for their own gain. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power struggles that have plagued Kashmir, shedding light on the human cost of political agendas and the desperate need for empathy and understanding amidst turmoil.

"Everyone should watch this" is not just a statement; it's a call to action for individuals to confront the harsh realities depicted in the film. As an eye-opener, it prompts viewers to reflect on the repercussions of systemic injustices and the consequences of apathy towards the suffering of others. By shining a spotlight on the plight of the common people caught in the crossfire of political machinations, the movie underscores the urgency of fostering dialogue, empathy, and genuine efforts towards peace and reconciliation in regions torn apart by conflict.

Family friendly, good for general population.

Recommended for Students preparing for competitive exams, it will be a good revision.

This is loosely based on Political Events before and during abrogation of Article 370. Apart from Terrorists, character's real names are changed or avoided.

Some events are summarised and simplified, some events are dramatised and some events (example- gun fight during climax of movie) was frictional.

This is not a Documentary and rulling party achieved its promise in election manifesto so some people will brand it as propaganda however it's not that.

It's more like your enthusiastic Uncle telling you how difficult was the process with some events out of order/not included and some events frictional to wrap up the story.

Absolute banger BGM, about 19 minutes the movie becomes technical rest of movie is easy to follow.

Great Acting from Actors in both positive and negetive roles.

When the trailers for both 'Crakk' and 'Article 370' were released, I wasn't interested in watching either of them. However, my mind was changed after I saw the reviews on social media, with everyone praising the movie. So, I went and watched the movie, and my experience was good. I just want to tell you guys, don't miss the beginning of the movie. Ajay Devgan narrates and briefs everything through a short story. The movie is divided into chapters, with 6 in total, and I loved the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th ones. Chapter 6th gives you goosebumps when Mota Bhai presents the bill. The best part of the movie is the performances. Yami Gautam nailed the role she was portraying. I can easily say this is her best performance to date. Another great aspect of the movie is that it doesn't blame the opposition for the wrongdoings. Whatever your ideologies and political beliefs, keep them aside and go watch the movie.
