How to pass the values from the template as an argument to the function in views?

I want the input entered by user in the template to pass it as arguments to the function which is imported to views.py ..this is the part of that template.

<form action="#" method="post">
     {% csrf_token %}
  Ratings: <input type="number" name="rate" step="0.1" min="1" max="5"><br>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="mybtn">
</form>

This is the function I have used to import the function and pass the values as arguments.

def request_page(request):
users_id = request.user.id + 671
if (request.POST.get('mybtn')):
    updater.rate_movie(672, 6251, float(request.POST['rate']))

According to your comments above this should work:

<form method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    Ratings: <input type="number" name="rate" step="0.1" min="1" max="5"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="mybtn">
</form>

Then in your views.py:

def request_page(request):
    users_id = request.user.id + 671
    if request.method == 'POST':
        updater.rate_movie(672, 6251, float(request.POST['rate']))
    return render(request, 'path/to/template.html')
