The Gulf countries have banned the action political thriller film “Article 370,” starring actor Yami Gautam. The ban in the Gulf hinders the Hindi film industry further by denying audiences there the chance to see the much-praised Indian film “Article 370,” despite the fact that the film has been a huge hit both domestically and internationally, winning accolades from critics and audiences alike. The main focus of the movie is on universal human experiences as they relate to a complicated sociopolitical environment. The story explores the goals and difficulties people face in difficult times, promoting understanding and conversation in the process. Themes of identity, struggle, and resilience resound strongly throughout.
The prohibition in Gulf nations is unexpected, especially in light of the area’s booming travel and tourism sector and the ongoing production of Indian motion pictures there. There is an obvious discrepancy between Bollywood’s contribution to the Gulf’s entertainment sector and the absence of Indian films in its theaters. Although there is a devoted audience for Indian cinema in the area, the lack of films such as ‘Article 370′ highlights a worrying trend of censorship and restricted cross-cultural interaction, according to a statement.
In the movie, which is based in the valley and centers on Jammu and Kashmir losing its special status under Article 370, Yami plays intelligence officer Zooni Haksar. On August 5, 2019, the Central government divided the former state of Jammu and Kashmir into the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, rescinding Article 370, which had granted the former state special status.
