Article 370 box office collection: Yami Gautam starrer earns an impressive Rs 3.4 crore on third Sunday; total collection crosses Rs 65 crore

There seems to be no stopping for Yami Gautam’s latest release 'Article 370’. The film, based on the abrogation of Article 370 that gave special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, has continued its strong hold at the box office even in its third weekend. In its first two weeks, the film earned Rs 57.9 crore, and now over its third weekend, it has crossed Rs 65 crore mark.

With Ajay Devgn’s 'Shaitaan' releasing this weekend, 'Article 370' was expected to end its theatrical run, but it turns out that the film is marching forward at an exceptional pace. While the film saw a marginal 10 percent drop on Friday over Thursday, it still minted Rs 1.65 crore. But on Saturday, 'Article 370' saw a near 60 percent jump and collected Rs 2.75 crore, and on Sunday it saw another 23 % jump to collect Rs 3.4 crore, taking the overall tally of the film to Rs 65.7 crore. In fact, the film has also recently been announced Tax Free in the state of Madhya Pradesh. It would be interesting to see if other states also follow suit.

'Article 370' has already become Yami’s fifth highest grossing film beating 'Badlapur', which had minted Rs 50.07 crore. It has already beaten the lifetime collection of Yami’s debut film 'Vicky Donor'.
