Yami Gautam says `naysayers proved wrong` as Article 370 crosses Rs 30 cr

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.

She wrote, “When we were making `Article 370`, so many people told us that this film won`t work with the audience … . But we went ahead with our gut because we knew those naysayers were underestimating our audience.”

Yami added, “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!”
