The political thriller Article 370 finds itself banned in Gulf countries. This development marks the second film this year to face such censorship in the region after Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's Fighter. While the film is garnering praise from both audiences and critics alike, the ban in the Gulf is another dampener on the Hindi film industry. With a weekend collection of Rs. 25.45 crore, Article 370 has already outperformed several recent releases. The film is also performing well in overseas centres like Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the USA and Canada.
The ban in Gulf countries comes as a surprise, particularly considering the region's thriving tourism industry and the continued presence of Indian movies being filmed there. While Indian cinema enjoys a dedicated fan base in the region, the absence of films like Article 370 emphasizes a concerning trend of censorship and limited cultural exchange. As per the news agency ANI, Article 370 has been banned in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain.
