Sara Recreates Dhal Gaya Din's Iconic Badminton Scene; Her Resemblance To Sharmila Tagore Is Uncanny

Article 370 Box Office Collection Day 1: Yami Gautam starrer Article 370 finally hit theatres on Friday, February 23 and received a decent response from critics. It has now been reported that the film earned Rs 5.75 crore at the Indian box office on its opening day.

As reported by Sacnilk.com, Article 370 had an overall occupancy of 42.83 per cent in the Hindi areas on Friday. While the morning shows saw an occupancy of 17.15 per cent, it increased to 31 and 44 per cent for afternoon and evening shows respectively. The film also had the maximum collection from Mumbai and the National Capital Region (NCR) followed by Pune, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

Directed by Aaditya Suhas and Jambhale, ‘Article 360’ is set against the backdrop of true events. The film offers audiences a gripping narrative woven with political intrigue, national security, and pulse-pounding action sequences. Besides Yami, the film also stars Priya Mani, Arun Govil and Vaibhav Tatwawadi among others.

News18 Showsha’s review of the film reads, “Article 370 has been shot in some real locations that imparts a lot of authenticity to the narrative. Cinematographer Siddharth Vasani captures the essence of Kashmir with aplomb that each frame set there smells of the valley. The solemnity of the narrative is perfectly conveyed through muted tones of blue and grey that predominates the film. At 2 hours and 40 minutes, Article 370 largely manages to keep you hooked. The makers waste no time and dive into the crux of the story in the first half and it makes for a fast-paced experience till the point of intermission. It’s the second half of the film that appears stretched out.”

Previously, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also talked about the film when he said, “I have heard that a film on Article 370 is going to be released this week… It is a good thing as it will help people in getting correct information.”
