It's great that big names are appreciating good cinema, but honestly, Karan Johar praising a film with such a strong, silent narrative is a bit ironic given his own filmography is full of drama and theatrics. Still, glad he liked it!

Watched 'Haq' last weekend. Yami Gautam was phenomenal! Her courtroom scenes gave me goosebumps. This is the kind of content Bollywood needs more of - stories that matter. Emraan was superb too.

Good to see industry support. Alia and KJo both praising her shows talent speaks for itself. Yami has worked her way up without any big film family backing. Respect! 💯

As someone who follows Indian cinema from abroad, it's refreshing to see such praise for a performance-driven film. The plot sounds powerful. Will definitely try to stream it this weekend.

KJo saying he missed watching it in cinemas is a mood 😂 We all have that regret for some films. But seriously, hope this encourages more people to watch it on OTT. Junglee Pictures is doing great work.
