Hamid director Aijaz Khan said, "I am thrilled. Given the current scenario, I don't want to get into the political side of things, but I am thrilled that my film won an award. It is great and brilliant. I have been trying to reach Talha, the little boy who played Hamid but I just can't get through to him or his father's phone number," 

Hamid released on March 15, 2019, and streams on Netflix.
