Back in 2019 when Article 15 had released, it had created quite a stir by not just winning tremendous critical acclaim but also emerging a big hit at the box office. The Anubhav Sinha-Ayushmann Khurranna film was a niche affair that went on to grow well on the basis of audience word of mouth and eventually closed its theatrical run at Rs. 65.45 crores.

Article 370 Box Office: Yami Gautam starrer crosses Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Article 15 lifetime

Circa 2024 and another film which picks its base from The Constitution of India, Article 370, has turned out to be an even bigger commercial success. Currently in its third weekend, the film has grown from strength to strength with every passing day. As a result, its current score reads a very solid Rs. 65.71 crores*. While in the process it has gone past the entire lifetime score of Article 15, the film is all set to earn at least Rs. 10 crores more during its run in theatres.

This was evidenced on Saturday as well when the collections zoomed further past the Rs. 2 crores mark rather comfortably. This was yet another good jump over Rs. 1.55 crores that it had collected a day before. With the big Sunday yet to come, the collections of Article 370 are only going to soar further with close to Rs. 3 crores expected to be added to its total. The Yami Gautam starrer is now quite comfortably placed for a lifetime score of over Rs. 75 crores, and one just waits to see how much more distance post that will it cover during its run in theatres.

Meanwhile, with first Article 15 and now Article 370 turning out to be critical as well as commercial successes, one can well expect ‘Article’ franchise to take off well in Bollywood with more ‘Article’ films set to be announced.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
