About Haq
Helmed by Suparn Verma, the courtroom drama stars Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi in lead roles, alongside Sheeba Chaddha in a pivotal role. Produced by Vineet Jain, Vishal Gurnani, Juhi Parekh Mehta and Harman Baweja under the banners of Junglee Pictures, Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, respectively, the film is inspired by the landmark Supreme Court judgement in Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum, which dealt with matrimonial rights within Muslim households.
Haq follows the story of Bano, a woman who seeks legal redress after her husband marries his cousin. The narrative explores her pursuit of justice and the complex intersection of personal faith, social customs and constitutional law. Despite receiving positive reviews, the film managed to collect only ₹29 crore worldwide at the box office. However, since its release on Netflix on January 2, it appears to have finally found its audience.
Yami expressed her gratitude for the love and appreciation following the film’s OTT release. Taking to X, she wrote, “Extremely grateful for such a heartfelt response to HAQ in abundance. The love is truly gratifying for me, both as an artist and as a woman. Jai Hind.”
