The box office numbers for the film ‘Article 370’ are in, and it has opened to a decent start with earnings of Rs 5.75 crore on its first day. Starring Yami Gautam and Priya Mani in lead roles, the movie hit theaters on February 23, marking its theatrical debut.
Yami Gautam plays the central character in ‘Article 370’, a film that has garnered attention, especially after being mentioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in one of his speeches. This mention likely contributed to the curiosity of many viewers, leading to a decent turnout on its opening day.
The film’s earnings on the first day stood at Rs 5.75 crore in India. Reports suggest that although the morning shows saw modest attendance, there was a significant increase in viewership by the evening, with night shows recording the highest occupancy rates. With this positive trend, ‘Article 370’ is anticipated to perform well over the upcoming weekend, particularly with holidays boosting cinema attendance.
A review of the film from various sources notes, “Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, ‘Article 370’ is a well-crafted film that challenges viewers with its lengthy runtime of 2 hours and 40 minutes. The filmmaker could have trimmed the first half, which is dedicated to setting up the story. Initially moving at a slower pace, the film gains momentum in the latter half with some predictable twists. However, the standout aspect remains the performances of the actors. Priya Mani and Yami Gautam, in their lead roles, deliver impactful performances.”
The movie, which features a strong ensemble cast including Arun Govil, Kiran Karmakar, Raj Arjun, Ashwini Koul, Sandeep Chatterjee, alongside Yami Gautam and Priya Mani, opened to audiences on February 23.
