All about Haq
The trend for Haq appears to be similar to Vikrant Massey’s 12th Fail, which also achieved significant success thanks to a strong story and positive word-of-mouth from audiences.

What did Yami Gautam say about Haq?
Haq continues to receive praise on social media. The film’s dialogues and courtroom scenes are touching audiences. Yami Gautam said in an interview to Filmfare, “Today, we’re having larger conversations about these things, and that’s a good thing. The kind of roles being written for women are evolving, and audiences are welcoming. Audience never discriminates. I feel like a small part of this ever-evolving phase of cinema.”
Haq, starring Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi, is it a tale of truth?
The plot of the movie is taken from the real life and legal battle of Shah Bano Begum. The case of Shah Bano in the Supreme Court in 1985 marked a turning point in the history of India. The ruling in that specific case stated that divorced women from the Muslim community would be entitled to maintenance as per Section 125 (CrPC) of the Indian Penal Code. This ruling generated a lot of debates nationwide and became a pivotal issue in the discourse on women’s rights, religious identity, and equality. A petition was lodged by Shah Bano Begum’s daughter in the Madhya Pradesh High Court seeking a prohibition on the release of the movie
