'Haq has become very personal to so many people.'
'Haq is the leading film in every Muslim country.'
Haq will aim for a lifetime collections of Rs 25 crore to Rs 30 crore
'I wanted to go for the heart, and at the same time, open the audience's mind.'
The Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed a petition seeking a stay on the release of the Hindi film 'Haq', which is inspired by the life and legal struggle of Shah Bano Begum. The court found the petition devoid of merit, clearing the way for the film's release.
'Some films are meant to more than just entertain you. They are meant to challenge, provoke, push you to think, instil change, and be in the public conversation.' 'That is Haq.'
Given all the talent involved and a rousing real life story at its centre, Haq is looking solid, notes Mayur Sanap.
The Madhya Pradesh high court has dismissed a petition filed by Shah Bano Begum's daughter seeking to stop the release of the Hindi film Haq, inspired by her mother's famous legal battle, holding that a person's right to reputation or privacy is not heritable.
Made at a time when an insidious agenda can be read into it, Haq is an important film that deals with a contentious subject with maturity, observes Deepa Gahlot.
'I don't know what people will say, but as a liberal Muslim, I can say that I had no problems with the viewpoint of the film. Because we are not maligning any community, if we were I wouldn't have done this film...'
'You can't make art with a point of view of fear. You have to present the truth.' 'That's why such films are not being made these days.' 'You never put the truth in the script because you fear you might offend somebody.'
'If you don't have a discussion, there is no meaning to any film.' 'I hope Haq will come in that category that you like a lot.'
What's unforgiving about Season two is the way the ever-so-entertaining Venkatesh Daggubati is under-utilised, complains Mayur Sanap.
'These days you are the main inspiration for a lot of young film-makers. They are mimicking your films.'
