MUMBAI: Yami Gautam's 2024 blockbuster ‘Article 370’ has garnered significant attention for its bold, fact-based narrative. With the star’s finest act and powerful performance, she always shoulders the film to box office success and critical acclaim. Rightly, being hailed as the ‘female performer of the year’.

"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 further highlighted the uniqueness of the film, stating that it would be remembered for its subject matter and novelty. "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."
