yamigautam this is one for the books. I was sitting with my tissue box wondering how you performed this with so much ease, depth and pain. Ufff take a bow! If you haven’t already, find a quiet corner and watch HAQ!”

Politician Priyanka Chaturvedi (MP - Rajya Sabha) shared on X, "While everyone was keen to hear Trump on Venezuela, I chose to watch Haq, a movie I hoped to see on the big screen but saw it on Netflix. A hat tip to the courage of Shah Bano and those who stood by her in times where women across religion chose silence over dignity."
