Article 370, starring Yami Gautam and Priyamani was released on February 23, clashing with Vidyut Jammwal-starrer Crakk. The film is continuing its strong run at the box office even on weekdays as it passes the Monday test with good numbers. The political film produced by Aditya Dhar made ₹3.25 cr at the box office on Monday taking its nett domestic total to ₹26.15 in India, as per industry tracker Sacnilk.
On the first day, the film opened with ₹5.9 crore collection. The film benefitted from strong word of mouth and went on to collect good numbers on its opening weekend. The film earned ₹7.4 crore and ₹9.6 crore on its first Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The total collection of Article 370 now stands at ₹26.15 crore in net in India.

It was recently reported that Yami Gautam's film has been banned in Gulf countries. However, the reason behind the ban has not been revealed by the authorities.
