Early estimates suggest that Article 370 grossed ₹3.25 crore nett in India on its fourth day (first Monday). As of now, the film's total collection in India stands at ₹26.15 crore.

Yami portrays the character of Zooni Haksar, an intelligence officer, in the film. Set against the picturesque landscape of Jammu and Kashmir, Article 370 revolves around the significant repeal of Article 370, which granted special constitutional privileges to the former state. The trailer of the movie showcased the rise of terrorism in the region, portraying radicals vying for control of the area.


Yami's character joins the NIA and is granted autonomy to embark on a mission in Kashmir, coinciding with the government's pledge to abolish Article 370. In addition to Yami, the film features Priyamani, Arun Govil, and Kiran Karmarkar in pivotal roles. Produced by Jio Studios and Aditya Dhar’s banner B62 Studios, Article 370 is described as a drama "inspired by true events that shaped the destiny of Kashmir."

On Monday, Yami conveyed to news agency ANI, stating, "We had full faith in the film striking the right chords and finding favour with the audience. We knew once a viewer watches the film once, his views and opinions in the matter (revocation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir) would change. A common refrain in the congratulatory messages that I have been receiving since our film hit theatres is that the youth should watch it as there's no propaganda in it."
