Yami Gautam-starrer serves its politics unabashedly. Mixing facts with fiction, and some convenient untruths, Article 370 presents the government of the day's scrapping of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir as a masterclass in State craft.

Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, 'Article 370' is a well-made film but will test your patience with its run-time of 2 hours and 40 minutes. The filmmaker could have easily chopped the first half that is wasted in setting up the premise. Crawling slower than a tortoise, the film wakes up only in the latter half and dashes like a hare towards the finish line with paced drama but with predictable twists.

National award-winning film director Aditya Suhas Jambhale has done a brilliant job by not overdoing the patriotism bit. The film is a compelling narrative that informs and engages without making it look like a history and civics lesson. Article 370 is a true story of Kashmir’s tortured history that had to be corrected and the maker of the film did complete justice to it!

Article 370 might not be as crisp and slick as Uri: The Surgical Strike but it still manages to leave a mark. The hard-hitting prologue by Ajay Devgn perfectly sets the tone of the film at the outset.

Article 370 is not as crude as some of the openly propagandist films made in recent times. It could at least open up a discussion on what is to be done to heal the wounds of the people of Kashmir, which years of shrieking TV debaters could not do, notes Deepa Gahlot.

Rating Score -> 3.5/5
Article 370 follows the template set by Uri and The Kashmir Files down to the T. It is a slick, smartly-packaged film that features some powerful performances and great technical aspects. Yet, it muddles its narrative with political undertones which is where the film falters the only time.
