Yami Gautam starrer Article 370 emerged as one of the major winners at the 72nd National Film Awards, taking home three honours. The film won Best Feature Film, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Yami Gautam, and Best Music Direction for Songs for Shashwat Sachdev.
The Best Feature Film award, one of the prestigious Golden Lotus (Swarna Kamal) honours at the National Film Awards, was received by director Aditya Suhas Jambhale and producer Jyoti Deshpande. The film was produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar under Jio Studios and B62 Studios. The film is based around the events surrounding the abrogation of Article 370 and follows an intelligence officer as she becomes involved in a sensitive operation connected to the developments in Jammu and Kashmir.
The film presents its story through a political and action-driven narrative while also focusing on the people involved in the operation. The Best Feature Film recognition acknowledges the overall filmmaking, including the way the subject was translated into a mainstream cinematic narrative.
Yami Gautam received the Best Actress in a Leading Role award for her performance in the film. She plays an intelligence officer who becomes closely involved in the mission at the centre of the story. The role required her to balance the character's professional responsibilities with the personal stakes surrounding the operation. Her National Award recognises her performance as the film's central character.
The third honour went to Shashwat Sachdev, who won Best Music Direction for Songs. His music contributes to the film's emotional and dramatic moments, while also complementing the intensity of its political-thriller setting.
The three honours represent different aspects of Article 370, from the film's overall achievement to its lead performance and musical work. With the Golden Lotus for Best Feature Film alongside the acting and music honours, the film has received recognition across major creative categories at the 72nd National Film Awards.
