Article 370: Here's Why Yami Gautam, Priyamani Starrer Has Been Banned In All Gulf Countries

Article 370 banned in gulf countries: The Gulf countries have banned the action political thriller film Article 370, starring actor Yami Gautam. Although Article 370 has been a huge hit at the domestic and international box office, winning over both critics and spectators, the ban has come as a shock.

Why Is Yami Gautam and Priyamani's Article 370 Banned In All Gulf Countries?

As per ANI, Article 370's ban in Gulf nations is unexpected, especially in light of the area's booming travel and tourism sector and the ongoing production of Indian motion pictures there. There is an obvious discrepancy between Bollywood's contribution to the Gulf's entertainment sector and the absence of Indian films in its theaters. Although there is a strong appreciation for Indian cinema in the area, the lack of films such as Article 370 highlights a worrying trend of censorship and restricted cross-cultural interaction, according to a statement.
