Yami Gautam in Article 370
Actress Yami Gautam`s movie`Article 370` hit the theatres on Friday, February 23. Despite, PVR providing tickets for Rs 99 on Friday as part of their Cinema Lovers Day initiative, the film managed to earn over Rs 6 crore on opening day. The film made on the controversial Article 370 only gained momentum over the weekend. In its first weekend, ‘Article 370’ grossed Rs 34.71 crore, more than any other film in recent weeks. Upon achieving these numbers, lead actress Yami Gautam revealed that when the movie was being made, she was told it won’t work as "it`s too technical" and is loaded with "political jargon".
Yami took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to thank the audience for proving those wrong who thought the film would not succeed in the box office.
