Yami Gautam's 'Article 370' Faces Gulf Ban, Box Office Impact Looms
Yami Gautam's latest action political thriller, 'Article 370,' has encountered a setback as it gets banned in Gulf countries, marking the second Bollywood film of 2024 to face such restrictions. Despite a promising start in the domestic box office with positive reviews, the Gulf ban is expected to significantly dent the film's overall collections, given the region's substantial market for Hindi films.
The plot of 'Article 370' revolves around the challenges individuals face during turbulent times in Jammu and Kashmir, exploring the aftermath of the revocation of Article 370. While the film received praise, it has also faced criticism for allegedly spreading propaganda. Director Aditya Dhar dismisses these claims, emphasizing the film's India-centric focus and calling it one of the best stories he's ever heard.
With the ban mirroring a similar fate to Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's 'Fighter' earlier in the year, industry experts anticipate a notable impact on box office numbers. As the film continues to garner attention, it remains to be seen how this hurdle will shape its journey in the cinematic landscape.
