Filmmaker Aditya Dhar went to the 72nd National Film Awards with his wife and actress Yami Gautam.Their 2024 movie, Article 370, won several big awards at the event.The film was named Best Feature Film, and Yami received the Best Actress award for her acting.Article 370 also won the Best Music Direction award for Shashwat Sachdev.
During a red carpet event, when someone asked about Dhurandhar, Aditya Dhar made it clear that the focus was on Article 370.
He said, “We are here for Article 370.We will talk about Dhurandhar if we come next year.But today, it is all about Article 370.”
Dhurandhar is still a big topic of discussion for Aditya Dhar.
However, since the current National Film Awards recognize films from 2024, Dhurandhar is not part of this year’s event.It might be considered for a future event, depending on the rules.
For Yami Gautam, the evening was a special moment as she won her first National Film Award for her role in Article 370.
She said, “It feels great.We were just talking, this is the biggest validation for any artist.I think it is the highest honour given to you by your country.I don’t think I can express right now.I am smiling, but inside I feel like a newcomer who thinks everything is so big and so special.”
Yami’s win came along with Article 370 being named Best Feature Film and Shashwat Sachdev winning Best Music Direction.
Article 370 was one of the films recognized at the 72nd National Film Awards.
The ceremony took place on September 22, 2026, in Ekta Nagar, Kevadia, Gujarat.It was the first time the National Film Awards were held outside Delhi.
