@DrGauravGarg4 Sure, because the real reason for piles of garbage on the streets and mountains of garbage around garbage bins is upper caste people in cars.

🤦‍♂️

[The Blade of Occam @TheBladeOfOccam]

@aaraynsh That's a government problem too. Unless you're saying THESE people are uniquely dirty compared to people in other countries.

Impose and enforce strong penalties on littering and habits will change like magic.

People always take the easy way out, so make it harder.

[The Blade of Occam @TheBladeOfOccam]

@GeniusHawlah @Osuolale95 @MisolaofJesus Sure, that's why it hit #1 in like ten countries. Because nobody understands good cinema except you.

@TitliVivek @yamigautam Manjha Bithana and ladki ko haldi ubtan lagana is a TRADITIONAL practice in South Asian Islam.
Why 1960, it was there even back in 1860.

Maybe you should try reading a book. Or maybe do something you have probably never done in your life - speak to a Muslim.

[The Blade of Occam @TheBladeOfOccam]

@TitliVivek @yamigautam By the way, did you even watch the film?

The Maulvi's house is in Sankhni. Abbas' house is in Aligarh.

Or is everything Muslim Lucknow to you?

Manjha ceremony (aka Haldi ceremony) in an Indian Muslim wedding.

IF you grew up in Lucknow, with your particularly pleasant style of communication, I don't think you've ever been invited to a wedding - Muslim or otherwise.

[The Blade of Occam @TheBladeOfOccam]

@TitliVivek @yamigautam This degree of ignorance is especially unforgivable in this day and age where all information is a Google search away, so I'm not going to explain this one to you. I'm just going to suggest you google "Manjha ceremony".

Enjoy your Enlightenment!

@ABoni8 @AdityaDharFilms @yamigautam I think you might have got the creator wrong. @Suparn is the director of #HAQ, and I am pretty sure he's not Kashmiri Pandit.

You know what's missing in this mutual self-congratulation society you've got going on in this thread? Muslim women.

The one Muslim woman I see on it is asking you what's wrong with the film.

The film’s point is proven.
As is your desperation to keep misogyny going.

[Prof. इलाहाबादी ( نور ) @ProfNoorul]

सिनेमा का काम समझाने का होता है, भड़काने का नहीं।
#Haq ने empathy के mask के पीछे एक साफ़ साम्प्रदायिक पक्षपात छुपा दिया। यह कहानी नहीं, selective outrage है।

@sid_siff You've never seen a Bollywood movie about a murder? Can't be - those are a dime a dozen.
I don't get what you're trying to say!

[Suparn S Varma @Suparn]

Thank you 🙏🏼❤️ @yamigautam @emraanhashmi @ReshuNath

@yamigautam
"Haq" has been amazing with its raw and heartfelt take on women's rights and the triple talaq issue, drawing from the inspiring Shah Bano case. @yamigautam is absolutely brilliant as Shazia Bano her emotional depth and strength left me speechless! Director Suparn Varma did an amazing job weaving a story that’s both personal and powerful, while @emraanhashmi brought such nuance to Abbas Khan, making the character feel real and layered. The dialogues, penned by @ReshuNath Nath, are sharp and moving, and Vishal Mishra’s music adds a perfect touch of soul to every scene. It’s a bold, must-see film that sticks with you. #Haq

[The Blade of Occam @TheBladeOfOccam]

@OwaisNaseerBhat @khanumarfa In other words, you judged the film not on the film, not on its story, not on its take on the issue, but on the subject matter.

Any film on a SUBJECT you don't like talking about is propaganda, whatever it says.

You do know what you're proving here, don't you?

If you are calling #HAQ "Islamophobic", you need to watch this.
