Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi has lauded the film. During a rally in Jammu on February 20, he spoke about Article 370, stating that it provides accurate information and is beneficial.
The movie revolves around Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which granted special privileges to Jammu and Kashmir, making it different from other states. This article provided the state with its constitution and greater autonomy. However, on August 5, 2019, the Indian government, through a presidential order, removed these special privileges, thereby altering the status of Jammu and Kashmir.
