Junglee Pictures’ release HAQ, starring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam Dhar is now in cinemas. It is powerful, thought-provoking film, demanding the attention of youngsters.
Directed by Suparn S Varma and inspired by a Supreme Court judgment, HAQ boldly explores the fight against triple talaq and women’s right to equality. Here’s why this film stands out.
1- A journey to claim her right
Yami Gautam Dhar shines as Shazia Bano, a woman fighting for her haq in a patriarchal world. Set in the 1980s and inspired by real events, the story is a stirring reminder that one determined voice can spark lasting change.
2- Layered performances
Yami delivers a deeply emotional performance, while Emraan Hashmi brings depth and conflict as Abbas Khan. Together, they create an unforgettable on-screen dynamic that elevates every frame.
3- A call for introspection
Without targeting any faith, HAQ examines how women have historically been placed at a disadvantage and urges the audience to reflect on equality and justice, a message that resonates strongly with today’s youth.
4- Sharp writing and sincere storytelling
Suparn Varma’s direction and Reshu Nath’s script ensure the film stays grounded and gripping, steering clear of melodrama while remaining emotionally charged and authentic.
5- Key message of love and inspiration
At its heart, HAQ underlines that respect and love without equality is simply hollow. For the younger audience that consistently redefines relationships, HAQ reminds that empowerment begins in the decision to demand what’s totally yours.
Also starring debutant Vartika Singh in a powerful role along with Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady, HAQ is produced by Junglee Pictures in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios. The film explores themes of the Uniform Civil Code, triple talaq, and gender equality. Haq is now running in theatres.
