Yami Gautam and Priya Mani starrer 'Article 370’ has managed to pull the crowd to the theatres. After registering an opening day number of Rs 5.90 crore, the Aditya Suhas Jambhale directorial recorded a 35 per cent growth on its first Saturday. Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar, the film was released in cinemas on February 23.
'Article 370' witnessed a jump in its collections on the second day of its release. On Saturday, the film saw a 35 per cent growth at the box office and minted Rs 7.50 crore, as per Sacnilk.com. The overall collection of the film has now been estimated at Rs 13.40 crore.
Article 370 chronicles the story of Jammu and Kashmir from the death of Internet sensation, Burhan Wani in 2016 to the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
Reacting to the criticism against the political drama earlier, Yami had earlier told PTI, 'If someone is calling it names... like 'propaganda', 'jingoism', and 'chest-thumping'... any section that goes into theatres already thinking or carrying a preconceived notion that this is what it's about, you'll never be able to feel or enjoy the film. There is no point in justifying the film to them. I don't think the audience thinks about these things. This film is for the majority of the audience and we make films for the audience."
