Aditya Dhar Celebrates Article 370 National Awards Triumph And B62 Studios Milestone

Aditya Dhar is celebrating a landmark moment for B62 Studios after its very first film Article 370 received three National Awards. The achievement has turned into a particularly emotional occasion for the filmmaker, who shared pictures from the prestigious ceremony and reflected on what the recognition means for him, his family, collaborators and the entire team behind the film. For B62 Studios, the milestone marks an important beginning, with its first release making a strong impression at one of Indian cinema’s most prestigious award platforms.

Taking to social media, Aditya Dhar shared several pictures from the National Awards ceremony along with a heartfelt note. The filmmaker described the moment as one that left him humbled, grateful and overwhelmed. His post was not only a celebration of the three awards but also a tribute to the people who stood behind the film from its earliest stages.

Aditya wrote, “Some milestones leave you humbled, grateful and completely overwhelmed. Article 370, the very first film from B62 Studios, receiving three National Awards is a truly extraordinary and unforgettable moment for all of us.”

The filmmaker went on to acknowledge the people who made the achievement especially meaningful for him. Among those he thanked were his brother Lokesh Dhar, Jyoti Deshpande, his wife and actor Yami Gautam Dhar, composer Shashwat, director Aditya Suhas Jambhale and the entire team of Article 370. His message made it clear that he considers the awards a collective achievement rather than an individual success.

“To share this beautiful and prestigious honour with my brother Lokesh Dhar, dearest Jyoti Deshpande, my beloved Yami Gautam Dhar, the musical star Shashwat, our super talented director Aditya Suhas Jambhale and the entire team is deeply special,” he wrote.

The success is particularly significant for B62 Studios because Article 370 was the production house’s first release. For a new studio, receiving three National Awards with its debut film represents a memorable start and gives the production banner an important milestone to look back on as it moves towards future projects.

Aditya also took the opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to the film. He wrote, “A heartfelt thank you to everyone who poured their passion, conviction and soul into this film.” The line reflects the filmmaker’s appreciation for the large group of artists, technicians and collaborators whose work comes together behind the scenes to create a feature film.

Reflecting on the film’s journey, Aditya added, “What began as a story we deeply believed in has become a moment we will cherish forever.” It is a sentiment that captures the transformation of an idea into a finished film and, eventually, into an award-winning project recognised at the national level.

The filmmaker also highlighted the significance of the achievement for B62 Studios in simple but powerful words: “Our first release. Three National Awards. An incredibly proud B62 Studios moment.”

The three awards make the achievement even more special for the team. Article 370 was recognised at the 72nd National Film Awards, with Yami Gautam receiving the Best Actress honour and Shashwat Sachdev being recognised for Best Music Direction for Songs. The film also received the Best Feature Film award, giving its team multiple reasons to celebrate.

For Yami Gautam, the recognition added another important chapter to her career. Her performance in Article 370 brought her the National Award for Best Actress, while her husband Aditya Dhar accepted the Best Feature Film honour for the project. The occasion therefore became a memorable professional moment for both of them.

Shashwat Sachdev’s recognition also added to the film’s celebrations. Music plays an important role in shaping the atmosphere of a film, and the composer’s National Award added another dimension to the project’s success. Together, the three honours brought recognition to different aspects of Article 370.

However, Aditya Dhar’s message did not stop at celebrating the awards. He used the occasion to talk about what he believes the recognition means for the future of B62 Studios. For him, an honour of this scale also brings greater responsibility. “But with an honour this great comes an even greater responsibility. This is not where the journey ends. It is a reminder to dream bigger, tell stories with greater conviction and create Indian cinema that can travel far beyond our borders,” he wrote.

The filmmaker also shared the broader aspiration behind B62 Studios. He said the production house wants to focus on Indian stories and cinema that can connect with audiences beyond the country. “Our aspiration at B62 Studios will always be to take Indian stories, Indian cinema and India’s soft power to greater heights, to create films that entertain, inspire, resonate with audiences across the world and make our country proud,” Aditya wrote.

His words point towards an ambitious vision for the production house. Rather than treating the National Awards as the culmination of the journey, Aditya sees the recognition as motivation to aim higher with future projects. The success of Article 370 has given B62 Studios a strong foundation, but the filmmaker appears focused on what comes next. He concluded his message with an equally determined note, writing, “This honour gives us even more reason to aim higher, work harder and believe bigger. The journey has only just begun.”

For Aditya Dhar and the entire B62 Studios team, the National Awards have therefore become much more than a celebratory moment. They represent the beginning of a journey that started with Article 370 and has now reached a prestigious national stage. With three National Awards attached to its very first release, B62 Studios has plenty to celebrate. For Aditya Dhar, however, the award ceremony appears to have provided both a moment to look back with gratitude and a reason to look ahead with renewed ambition. As the filmmaker himself says, the journey has only just begun.
