Article 370

"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.

Siddharth Anand and his cheap VFX contemporaries should learn from Article 370, how to make a movie which need not be too loud, without unnecessary dance , VFX but gives enormously more thrill, and is gripping to keep you hooked onto your seat.

Right from the 1st minute you will be engrossed into the movie, and enjoy each moment thereafter. Yami Gautam has yet again proved she does not need to play second fiddle to any khan and can pull any movie with her acting abilities, amazing expressions and a great direction, screenplay and most important the nationalistic subject. Priya mani has continued amazing the Hindi audience beyond Family Man. A must watch, and moreover it is a family movie.

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.

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🙂!!
