Plot and Summary

This constitution of India separates Kashmir’s independent status as a state and it allows Indian citizens to buy and sell properties in Kashmir without the Kashmiri’s consent.
Implementation of this article carries a lot of hurdles and difficulties for the government to maintain peace in the already burning and divided state of Kashmir. The ruling government fears about the new waves of terrorism across the border and Pakistan’s response to the new amendment in the law.
The story then revolves around the appointment of NIA agent Zooni Haksar as the senior police officer in the Jammu and Kashmir region where she takes control of the situation and solves cases on merit. Zooni Haksar proves her selection fair when she faces terrorists boldly and Carries out operations against them. She cleans out all the major causes of distortions of peace ultimately proving her selection rightfully approved.

Ending of the Article 370 Film
The ending of the film is based upon agent Zooni Haksar doing her job so well, eradicating the negative elements of the state. She operates so sophisticatedly that the Indian government feels relief about the peace establishment in the region.
However, many questions are imposed on the correctness of the facts in the story. Many critics believe the film to be only a tool for BJP propaganda movie for the upcoming elections of 2024. Many illegal custody and torture scenes are justified as necessary measures by government officials to avoid distortion in the state.
The movie overall avoids presenting the Kashmiri’s narrative about the new article implemented in the state. According to some critics only selected facts have been portrayed that somehow go in favor of the ruling party of that time. Hence, the film is a success as all the characters ultimately become successful in maintaining peace in the region without bloodshed.
