Shehla Rashid, a former student leader at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and once a Modi critic, has praised the film Article 370 and said that the film tells the inside story of the bloodless removal of Article 370 without creating disharmony.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the ex-JNU student shared photos from the special screening and said, “Four stars to AdityaDharFilms’s 370 for casting (esp. Amit bhai), action sequences, strong female characters, and sensitivity. Tells the inside story of the bloodless removal of the paper wall named 370 without shrill rhetoric or creating disharmony. @yamigautam best wishes."

Shehla Rashid has been a vocal critic of the Modi government especially with the decision regarding abrogation of Article 370. She was leading the protests when Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested over the charges of sedition in an event supporting Afzal Guru, a convict in Parliament building. However, last year, she surprised many by offering praise to the Modi-led government at the Centre and the Lieutenant Governor for their efforts in improving the human rights situation in the region particularly in light of the revocation of Article 370. Notably, this is not the first time that Shehla Rashid has openly come in support of the actions of the Modi government. She recently praised India’s firm stand on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Recently, PM Modi while addressing a rally in Jammu also backed the film and said that the upcoming movie about Article 370 will be useful for people to get the correct information. “I do not know what the film is all about but yesterday I heard on TV that a film is coming on Article 370. Good, it will be useful for people to get correct information," the Prime Minister said.

In an interview with news agency PTI, Gautam said, “If someone is calling it names... like 'propaganda', 'jingoism', and 'chest-thumping'... Any section that goes into theatres already thinking or carrying a preconceived notion that this is what it's about, you'll never be able to feel or enjoy the film. There is no point in justifying the film to them. I don't think the audience thinks about these things. This film is for the majority of the audience and we make films for the audience."
