Yami Gautam Dhar’s latest release Haq has earned her overwhelming praise from fans and reviewers alike. In the film, she plays Shazia Bano, a character inspired by Shah Bano, bringing to life a woman torn between faith, justice, and personal truth. Yami’s calm intensity and layered emotions have left viewers deeply moved, with social media filled with messages calling her performance ‘career-best.’

At the film’s Mumbai premiere, even the paparazzi joined in the celebration. A viral video showed photographers cheering for the actress, shouting, “Agle saal milenge National Award pe!,” a rare and heartfelt moment of appreciation that reflects the audience’s sentiment.

Online, fans have echoed the same emotion. One user wrote, “Yami deserves National Award for this performance.” Another said, “Just give @yamigautam the National Award for #Haq. Too good, career best performance.” The excitement only grew with comments like, “If there is no National Award for #YamiGautam for #HAQ, then National Awards need to be shut for good.”

Reviewers too have highlighted Yami’s nuanced portrayal. One review noted, “As Shazia Bano, the woman hurt and angered by her husband’s betrayal, yet someone who holds on to her dignity, Yami Gautam Dhar is excellent, keeping flashy histrionics in check even in the climactic monologue.”

Fans have also compared her to legendary actress Shabana Azmi, known for portraying strong women caught between emotion and principle. Like Azmi’s iconic roles, Yami’s Shazia combines vulnerability with quiet strength.

Haq also stars Emraan Hashmi opposite Yami, produced by Junglee Pictures, Baweja Studios, and Insomnia Films, and directed by Suparn S. Varma, Haq is now running in theatres.

Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan has expressed his admiration for 120 Bahadur, the upcoming war epic from producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under Excel Entertainment. The actor took to social media to share a heartfelt message, praising the duo for their continued creative drive and passion for storytelling.

In his post, Hrithik fondly remembered his earlier collaboration with them on Lakshya, another film rooted in courage and patriotism. Comparing the two, he noted that 120 Bahadur looks even grander in scale and emotion.

Hrithik wrote, “Farhan & Ritesh.. my buois, pushing your limits and conquering new peaks is what I have watched you both relentlessly do for so many years now. I remember the vigor and toil that went into lakshya, but the passion I see in 120 BAHADUR promises something even bigger and better in every way. All my love to the brilliant cast, director Razneesh, the excel team .. & a big hug to my bahadur friend Farhan. Marked my calendar for 21st November”
