Saw HAQ last week. Yami was absolutely phenomenal, she carried the entire film. The subject is so important for Indian society. More power to films that entertain and educate.

Respectfully, while the mutual praise is nice, I wish mainstream actors would champion smaller, content-driven films *before* they release, not just after they become critical successes. That would really help at the box office.

As someone who recently moved to Mumbai, I find this industry camaraderie fascinating. Back home, you rarely see such public displays of professional admiration between top-tier actors. It's a refreshing change!

Shah Bano case is a landmark judgement. Glad a film is made on it. More people should know about our legal history and the fight for women's rights. Yami did justice to the role. Jai Hind!

Yaar, this makes me so happy! Both my favorites. Alia is a superstar but still has time to appreciate others. And Yami has worked so hard, she truly deserves all this praise. ❤️ Can't wait to watch HAQ this weekend!
