Article 370 revoked, Bollywood filmmakers rush for film titles related to Kashmir

by

With Article 370 revoked, an IMMPA representative confirmed that fillmmakers are rushing to grab film titles related to Pulwama attacks, Balakot strikes, and the scrapping of the article. Filmmakers are now rushing to get film titles that relate to the decision.

Here are some of the applications (for film titles) that have been received.

‘Article 370’, ‘Article 35A’, ‘Kashmir Hamara Hai’, Dhara 370 and Dhara 35A (hindi translations), Abhinandan, India Strikes Back, Zero Mercy Pulwama, Josh Is High and others, as reported by Quint.


In the past also, when India had conducted retaliatory air strikes on Pakistan following the Pulwama attack, there was a rush to register titles with Indian Motion Pictures’ Producers’ Association (IMMPA).

Filmmakers are always looking for different ideas for their films, and if theme relates to Kashmir, filmmakers can always give the film a patriotic flavour.

The massive success of Uri: The Surgical Strike is another reason why filmmakers are rushing to make films related to Kashmir; it has the potential to set the cash registers ringing at the box office, if it strikes a cord with the Indian audience.

Several Bollywood films were scheduled to shoot in Kashmir over the next few months, but with the abrogation of Article 370, the filmmakers have decided to put their film shoots on hold for now (anticipatig trouble).
