What is Article 370 about?

Starring Yami Gautam, Priyamani, Arun Govil, and Kiran Karmarkar in lead roles, the film is based on corruption and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Gautam plays the role of an intelligence officer, who becomes instrumental in combating terrorism and corruption in the region. The movie showcases how radicals try to take over the area and how terrorism has started to spread throughout the region.

After joining the NIA, Yami's character is given unrestricted freedom to complete a task in Kashmir. Additionally, the government has pledged to do away with Article 370 at all costs.

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 granted the former state unique status.
