Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi have joined forces for the first time in the courtroom drama Haq, inspired by the landmark 1985 Shah Bano case that shaped Indian judicial history. The film has been garnering a positive response, with both audiences and critics lauding its powerful performances and gripping narrative. Let’s see how much it has managed to mint in its first two days at the box office.
Haq Box Office Collection Day 2:
Haq opened to a decent response at the box office. On its first day (Friday), the film collected Rs 1.75 crore, showing a fair start considering the limited buzz around its release. However, it witnessed significant growth on its second day (Saturday), earning Rs 3.35 crore as per early estimates. With this, the film’s total two day collection stands at Rs 5.10 crore.
About Haq
HAQ tells the story of a Muslim woman who fights for her rights after being wronged by her husband. The movie is based on the real 1985 Shah Bano case, which became a big turning point in India’s legal and political history.
While speaking to News24, Yami Gautam talked about why she chose ‘Haq’. She shared, “Stories like Haq come to me at a time when I feel ready to take them on, and that’s not a coincidence. I let my instincts guide me. If a script challenges me, excites me, and has the potential to resonate deeply with people, I take that leap without overthinking. Being pushed outside my comfort zone is where meaningful transformation happens; that’s what keeps me artistically alive.”
She added, “Haq tapped into something that deeply resonates with me: a woman’s identity, her rights, her voice. Maybe these subjects chase me, too, because when you remain authentic to who you are and what you believe in, the right scripts just gravitate towards you. I will not term it a Shero saga, in all its sense, but a story that is generational in every sense for women and our country.”
The movie is directed by Suparn S Varma, written by Reshu Nath and produced by Vineet Jain, Vishal Gurnani, Juhi Parekh Mehta and Harman Baweja.
