About Haq

Directed by Suparn Verma and based on the landmark Supreme Court case of Shah Bano Begum vs. Mohd. Ahmed Khan, Haq delves into the struggles faced by women in the context of Indian law and tradition. Set in the 1980s, the narrative follows Shazia Bano, portrayed by Yami Gautam, whose life is turned upside down when her husband, Abbas (played by Emraan Hashmi), marries another woman.

Initially committed to supporting their children, Abbas withdraws his financial assistance, prompting Shazia to take a stand in court. The film addresses critical themes of social justice, personal sacrifice, and the intersection of faith and constitutional rights. The gripping storyline not only highlights Shazia’s fight for justice but also sheds light on societal pressures and obstacles that women often face.

With its socially relevant narrative and Gautam’s impactful performance, Haq has quickly become one of Netflix’s most talked-about films of the year, striking a chord with viewers around the world.
