"Article 370" made Rs 34.71 crore at the box office on its opening weekend. Yami Gautam disclosed that during the film's development, she was informed that the film wouldn't succeed because it was "too technical" and contained a lot of "political jargon."
She wrote: ¡°When we were making 'Article 370', so many people told us that this film won't work with the audience. But we went ahead with our gut because we knew those naysayers were underestimating our audience."
Yami added: "Thank you all for proving them absolutely wrong. Thank you so much for giving so much love to our small little film, with a big heart. We are humbled and will remain forever grateful to all of you. Dhanyawaad!"
In an interview with News18, Priyamani said ¡°I was one of the ignorant ones. It was very insensitive of me. I was not privy to such things earlier. I had thought to myself, ¡®Okay, great, the article is abrogated¡¯ but I didn¡¯t know the gravity of it. Today, I do.¡±
Reacting to people calling the film a 'propaganda,' Priyamani said, "Some people will say, ¡®This is raising awareness. People need to know these stories.¡¯ And then, there¡¯s always going to be a section that will say, ¡®This is absolutely propaganda.¡¯ When we took on this film or when we decided that we wanted to be a part of this film, I think the main reason was that we wanted to tell people, ¡®Listen there¡¯s something like this which has gone down in history and not many people know about it¡¯.¡±
As per Imdb, ¡°After 2016 Kashmir unrest, local agent Zooni Haksar chosen for secret mission by Rajeshwari to end terrorism and conflict economy by abrogating Article 370 without bloodshed.¡±
