00:00 In a surprising turn of events, Yami Gautam starrer action-packed political thriller,
00:07 Article 370 has faced a ban in the Gulf countries.
00:11 The film, which has been a success both domestically and internationally, has received widespread
00:16 acclaim for its exploration of universal human experiences within a complex socio-political
00:22 landscape.
00:23 While Article 370 has been riding high on its success at the box office, the ban in
00:29 Gulf countries has come as a setback for the Hindi film industry.
00:32 The prohibition deprives audiences in the region of the opportunity to experience and
00:37 appreciate Indian cinema, which has been well-received globally.
00:41 The ban in Gulf countries has raised eyebrows, especially given the region's flourishing
00:45 tourism industry and the frequent presence of Indian movies being filmed there.
00:50 The disparity between Bollywood's contribution to the Gulf's entertainment industry and the
00:55 lack of access to Indian films in its theatres is quite apparent.
00:59 Despite the dedicated fan base for Indian cinema in the region, the absence of films
01:04 like Article 370 highlights a concerning trend of censorship and limited cultural exchange.
01:10 As the global film industry grapples with issues of censorship and accessibility, there
01:14 is a growing call for prioritising dialogue and collaboration to foster a more inclusive
01:20 and vibrant cinematic landscape.
01:23 In the film, Yami Gautam takes the role of Zuni Haksal, an intelligence officer, in a
01:28 narrative set in the valley that revolves around the removal of special status to J&K
01:34 under Article 370.
01:35 It's worth noting that Article 370 was revoked by the central government on August 5, 2019,
01:41 leading to the bifurcation of the state into the Union territories of J&K and Ladakh.
01:47 Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to the film during a public address in Jammu,
01:52 expressing optimism about the current information being disseminated through the movie.
02:15 Yami Gautam in response took to Instagram to express her gratitude, stating that she
02:19 was honoured to have the Prime Minister discuss Article 370.
02:23 Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, the film also features Priyamani, Arun Govil and Kiran
02:29 Karmakar in key roles.
02:32 This ban in the Gulf countries follows a similar trend, with Dhrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's
02:37 aerial action thriller 'Fighter' also being denied release in all Gulf countries
02:42 except the UAE.
02:43 The film is available in English and in the U.S. on the U.S. Department of State website.
