Here is what the Dharma boss had to say about the film everyone is suddenly talking about.
The Verdict: "Exceptionally Empowering"
Karan expressed deep regret for missing the film during its theatrical run in November 2025.
"HAQ... The Shazia Bano story and victory moved me to a puddle of tears. I was speechless at the end and then clapped loudly for the film," he wrote.
Yami Gautam: "A Masterclass" 👩⚖️
Karan reserved his highest praise for Yami Gautam, who plays the lead role of Shazia Bano, a character fighting against the "Triple Talaq" system.
The Praise: He called her performance "Brilliant, Outstanding, Pathbreaking," noting that even these words weren't enough.
The Details: He specifically highlighted her "silences, her stares, and her last monologue" as a masterclass in craft and conviction.
The Declaration: He ended his note with a huge personal compliment: "Yami... Am a fan for life!"
Emraan Hashmi: "Career Best" 🌟
While Yami is the hero, Emraan Hashmi (who plays the husband, Advocate Abbas Khan) is the villain you love to hate.
KJo's Take: He labeled it Emraan's "Career Best" performance.
The Insight: "He portrays the insensitive and entitled husband like a bonafide veteran... you hate him and therefore you absolutely Love his performance," Karan explained.
Alia Bhatt Agrees!
Karan isn't the only one. Just yesterday, Alia Bhatt also posted about the film, calling Yami "Pure Artistry" and revealing she personally called the actress to congratulate her.
What is 'Haq' About?
Directed by Suparn Verma, Haq is inspired by the landmark 1985 Shah Bano case.
Plot: It follows the journey of a Muslim woman (Yami) who challenges the legal system and her husband (Emraan) after being abandoned and denied alimony, sparking a nationwide debate on faith vs. constitutional rights.
SantaBanta Verdict: When KJo calls himself a "Fan for Life," you know the performance is special. Haq is currently streaming on Netflix—add it to your queue now!
