Article 370 Box Office Collection Day 1: Yami Gautam’s film ‘Article 370’ is competing against Vidyut Jamwal’s ‘Crakk’.
Article 370 Box Office Collection Day 1: Yami Gautam’s latest Bollywood movie, Article 370, is facing off against Vidyut Jamwal’s action film Crakk. On its release day (February 23), Article 370 collected ₹5. 75 crore.
The movie, directed by Aditya Jambhale, is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Lokesh Dhar, and Aditya Dhar, who is also the director of “Uri: The Surgical Strike” and happens to be Yami’s husband.
The movie had previously received praise from Shehla Rasheed, a vocal critic of the Narendra Modi government’s decision to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s autonomous status on August 5, 2019, and divide it into two Union Territories (UTs).
“After apparently attending a special screening of the movie, the ex-JNU student posted on X (formerly Twitter), ‘Four stars to AdityaDharFilms’s 370 for its casting (especially Amit bhai), action sequences, strong female characters, and sensitivity. It tells the inside story of the bloodless removal of the paper wall named 370 without shrill rhetoric or disharmony. Best wishes, Yami Gautam (sic).'”
As the Lok Sabha elections draw near, some are labeling it as a “propaganda” film supporting the Modi government. Aditya Dhar’s directorial debut, “Uri: The Surgical Strike,” was also released shortly before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections (April-May 2019), on January 11 of that year.

Yami earlier addressed the issue and told PTI, “If someone is calling it names like ‘propaganda’, ‘jingoism’, and ‘chest-thumping’… Any audience member who enters the theaters with preconceived notions will never be able to truly 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,” she added.
At this moment, Yami Gautam’s action-drama is winning the battle against “Crakk.” Vidyut Jamwal’s action film managed to earn ₹4 crore on Day 1.
