Yami’s post comes as Haq continues to grow steadily at the box office. The courtroom drama, which opened to positive word-of-mouth, earned Rs 1.75 crore on its opening day and witnessed an impressive 91.43 per cent jump on Day 2, collecting Rs 3.35 crore. With this, the film’s total earnings have reached Rs 5.10 crore in just two days.
According to trade reports, the film registered an overall occupancy of 19.35 per cent. While the morning and afternoon shows saw moderate turnouts of 7.66 per cent and 17.46 per cent, respectively.
Directed by Suparn S Varma, Haq draws inspiration from the landmark 1985 Shah Bano case, which ignited nationwide debates on women’s rights, secularism, and the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). The film narrates the story of a 62-year-old Muslim woman’s fight for alimony after divorce – a struggle that reshaped India’s legal and social discourse.
Produced by Junglee Pictures, Insomnia Films, and Baweja Studios, Haq also stars Emraan Hashmi, Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Husain, and Vartika Singh.
The Free Press Journal’s review of Haq read, “It is a hard-hitting, emotional film featuring some amazing performances. Yami Gautam fans are in for a treat. A must-watch for Muslim women.”
