Yami Gautam's 2024 hit Article 370 has gained widespread recognition for its bold, fact-driven storyline. The actress delivers a standout performance, earning praise for carrying the film to both box office success and critical acclaim, with many calling her the ‘female performer of the year.’ Based on the real-life events surrounding the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, the film has been praised for its authenticity and the strong, well-crafted role Yami plays. In a recent media interaction, the actress opened up about the film and the process behind selecting the project.
"When a script comes to me, I see the film without bias," Yami explained. "I do it if I think it will engage me or challenge me as an actor." She emphasized that Article 370 was a role that truly intrigued her, as it was based on real events yet left room for questioning the validity of those events. "It was inspired by true events, but one questions, 'Did that really happen?'," she reflected. "The movie is based on facts and what information we had. It was verified."
Yami also pointed out the film's distinctiveness, mentioning that it would stand out for its compelling subject matter and innovative approach. "I was a part of a film which will be remembered for a long time for its subject and novelty," she said. "If we talk about new cinema, we should talk about new films and make them."
Yami also stressed that Article 370 broke away from traditional commercial norms, explaining, "It wasn’t packaged with songs. Audiences came for the story."
With its intense narrative and powerful performances, Article 370 is emerging as one of the standout films of 2024, cementing Yami Gautam’s reputation as a bold and versatile actress. This year has undeniably been a triumph for Yami, both personally and professionally.
