Article 370

The success of the film will indeed reflect the current mindset of my compatriots. Moreover, it's imperative to conduct some research before attending the film screening. A deep understanding of current affairs is not only essential but also indispensable. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed the film; it was both engaging and informative. If you, the reader, have been deeply moved by films like Uri, The Kashmir Files, The Kerala Story, and Sardar Udham, then I urge you to catch Article 370 at the next available showing. To conclude, the most striking and heartwarming moment for me was the display of the photograph frame featuring Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Netaji Subash Chandra Bose.

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.

Kudos to the young director and producers! This a masterpiece. Fast paced, well written and brilliantly performed by all actors. The film highlights role played by security forces and bureaucrats in this critical move. Not a single dull moment. The story revolves around security forces deployed in Kashmir. First half focuses on the challenges faced by security forces deployed in Kashmir, the second half shows the meticulous preparation done by bureaucracy and security forces before abrogation of article 370.

Yami has given her career best. Special mention of young director for his debut film, he has directed it like a seasoned one.

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🙂!!

A review by Rajesh Puvvada

Setting aside political affiliations and opinions, the movie lives to the spirit of a making inspired by true events.

Article 370 as a movie is based on the events that unfolded between 2015 to 2019. The knotty parts of the article in the Indian constitution were untied smartly during this period and the way it was done is the movie all about. So if you assume that the movie is all about a verbal exchange of key leaders over a debate, you are grossly mistaken.

The movies balances between the interpretation of the constitution and a solid action of the NIA (National Investigation Agency) against terrorists and separatists. It's really interesting to see some sections of the article disappeared over the course of time. The movie handles this confusing and complicated part very well. Further, the tact of understanding and dealing with the power equations when changes are imposed to parts of the wider constitution was dealt with very well.

The movie reminds one about the fact that the ugly truth can't disappear forever someone will stumble upon it and justice will prevail even after 5 decades.

You will remain at the edge of the seat when pace builds at the valley and at the Indian parliament. The background score is heart thumping hence I will say you should watch this movie in the theatre.

Both Priya mani and Yami Gautam have played their parts unequivocally!! Arun Govil can't be ignored in the movie!!

I am going with a 8.5/10. You can safely take your entire family to this movie, but emotions will be felt only by the Baby Boomer till the Gen Y populace. Get to the truth soon!!
