Srinagar, Feb 23: The latest Bollywood movie Article 370, starring Yami Gautam, Priyamani, and Arun Govil, has hit the theatres today in Jammu and received a strong response from the viewers. The movie is based on the historic decision of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to revoke the special status granted to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
The movie depicts the challenges and struggles faced by the people of Kashmir before the abrogation of Article 370, which gave the state a separate constitution, flag, and autonomy over its internal affairs. It also shows how the PMO planned and executed the bold move to integrate Kashmir with the rest of India and end the decades-long insurgency and violence in the region.
The viewers have praised the movie for its realistic portrayal of the ground realities in Kashmir and the courage and vision of the PMO. Many viewers said that the movie is an eye-opener and presents the true picture of what was the situation in J&K before the revocation of Article 370.

I salute the makers of this movie for their bravery and honesty,” he added.
Another viewer told reporters after watching the movie that the movie is a masterpiece as it has a powerful story, brilliant performances, and amazing direction. She said that it exposes the lies and propaganda of the anti-India forces who wanted to keep Kashmir isolated and backward. “It also celebrates the spirit and resilience of the Kashmiri people who welcomed the abrogation of Article 370 and embraced the new opportunities and freedoms. I recommend this movie to everyone who loves India and Kashmir,” she said.
“I was moved by this movie. It showed the reality of Kashmir and how the people there were living in fear and oppression. It also showed how the PMO took a bold and decisive step to end the tyranny of Article 370 and bring Kashmir into the mainstream of India,” another viewer said, adding that this movie is a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of the Indian army and the Kashmiri people.
He further said that the movie is a masterpiece of patriotism and nationalism and it exposes the anti-national elements who were exploiting and dividing Kashmir under the garb of Article 370.
