Karan Johar's Review of Haq
On his official Instagram account, filmmaker Karan Johar stated, "HAQ…. The story of Shazia Bano and her triumph brought me to tears… I was left speechless at the conclusion and then applauded enthusiastically for the film, regretting that I missed the chance to see this incredibly empowering movie in theaters… I can’t recall the last time a performance moved me this deeply… to describe @yamigautam as Brilliant, outstanding, Pathbreaking doesn’t fully capture it…. Her moments of silence, her gazes, her final monologue, and her presence throughout the film are a masterclass in artistry and conviction…. Hats off to her! @suparnverma directs with such confidence… never allowing theatrics to overshadow the emotion and consistently allowing the strength of the characters to shine through powerful silences… he has crafted a Brilliant film…. @therealemraan delivers his finest performance to date… he convincingly embodies the insensitive and entitled husband like a true veteran… you despise him, and thus you absolutely admire his performance… kudos to @jungleepictures … Vineet and Amrita .. @vineetjain12 for producing this courageous and significant film! #harmanbaweja.:. Huge applause to @reshunath for penning a compelling and impactful narrative with such strength …."
He concluded with, "Yami…. I’m a lifelong fan! #haq on @netflix_in"

One of my all-time favorite female performances… As I mentioned over the phone as well... I’m a Yami admirer eagerly anticipating all your work to once again enchant and entertain us all."
