Article 370 was released in cinemas on February 23. Actor Yami Gautam on Monday said the cast and the makers had "full faith" in the film finding favour with the audience. Revealing that the makers were told that such films may not find too many takers, the actor said, "We were told that this film may not find success at the box office as viewers do not appreciate such subjects." In the film, Yami Gautam plays intelligence officer Zooni Haksar.

On August 5, 2019, the Union Government revoked Article 370. "We had full faith in the film striking the right chord and finding favour with the audience.

Helmed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, the film also stars Priyamani, Arun Govil and Kiran Karmarkar in key roles. Filmmaker and Yami's husband, Aditya Dhar, who produced this film, said, We could only work hard for this film, which we did. We knew once the film arrived in theatres, we wouldn't have any control over how it was received by the viewers. There wasn't much we could do. We just submitted ourselves to the audience and hoped for the best. We knew it was the audience, and the audience alone, who could give our film its due. Our film had characters based on reallife people, who worked tirelessly for the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. The idea was to narrate their struggles in real life and bring it to viewers through the audiovisual medium. However, we never imagined our film getting such a response and receiving so much love from viewers. Entertainment! Entertainment!
