The highly anticipated courtroom drama, Haq, starring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, has finally hit the screens on November 7th. Despite receiving positive reviews from both audiences and critics, the film's opening day box office collection fell short of expectations, earning only Rs 1.65 crore. This disappointing performance can be attributed to the competition from Telugu movies Jathadara and The Girlfriend, which might have divided the audience's attention. However, the film's production cost of Rs 50 crore and its inspiring true story about a woman's quest for justice make it a must-watch for those seeking thought-provoking cinema. Directed by Suparn Varma and written by Reshu Nath, Haq is an emotional journey that highlights the power of women and the ongoing debate on women's rights and faith. With a stellar cast including Sheeba Chaddha, Aseem Hattangady, Danish Husain, Rahul Mittra, and Vartika Singh, the movie is an amalgamation of fiction and reality, inspired by the landmark 1980s Supreme Court judgment in the Shah Bhani case. Yami Gautam's portrayal of Shazia Bano and Emraan Hashmi's performance as Abbas Khan have received acclaim, leaving viewers with a powerful message that resonates even 40 years after the original case. Despite the initial slow start, Haq is a film that deserves attention and support from audiences, offering a unique perspective on a significant legal battle.
