Article 370 is a gripping political thriller that balances detail with drama. The film follows Zooni Haksar (Yami Gautam Dhar), a determined intelligence officer, and Rajeshwari Swaminathan (Priyamani), a composed bureaucrat, as they navigate the complex path toward the abrogation of Article 370 in India.
The first half is well paced; it carefully sets the stage, introducing characters and the stakes with clarity. This foundation pays off in the second half, where tension builds into an impactful and emotional climax. Both Yami and Priyamani deliver commanding performances… Yami with intensity and action presence, Priyamani with subtle strength.
The cinematography captures Kashmir’s beauty and turmoil effectively, while the editing keeps the narrative tight despite its long runtime. The background score heightens key moments without overwhelming them.
Overall, Article 370 succeeds as an engrossing thriller with human depth. The film is powerful, engaging, and highly recommended. 8.5/10.
