Article 370 box office collection day 3: Film trails behind Kashmir Files as it earns Rs 25.45 cr, Yami Gautam says ‘audience proved naysayers wrong’

Yami thanked audience for accepting the film and wrote, “When we were making Article 370, so many people told us that this film won’t work with the audience, ‘it’s too technical, too many political jargons etc etc’. But we went ahead with our gut because we knew those naysayers were underestimating our audience. Thank you all for proving them absolutely wrong. Thank you so much for giving so much love to our small little film, with a big heart. We are humbled and will remain forever grateful to all of you. Dhanyawaad (thank you)! Jai Hind!”

Released alongside the action-packed film Crakk, starring Vidyut Jammwal and Nora Fatehi, Article 370 has maintained a competitive edge over the three days since their release. On Sunday, Crakk garnered Rs 2.40 crore, accumulating a total domestic collection of Rs 8.80 crore, significantly trailing behind the total earnings of Article 370.

Article 370 delves into the Prime Minister’s decision to revoke the special status granted to Jammu and Kashmir. Comparisons have emerged with Vivek Agnihotri’s 2022 hit, The Kashmir Files, centered on the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Indian-administered Kashmir. While Article 370 surpassed The Kashmir Files in collection during its initial two days, it fell short on the third day. The Kashmir Files grossed Rs 27.15 crore in its first three days of release, whereas Article 370 accumulated Rs 22.80 crore during the same timeframe.

Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale and produced by Aditya Dhar and B62 Studios, the film also features Kiran Karmarkar, and Arun Govil in pivotal roles.
