HAQ is showcasing similar trends to Vikrant Massey’s 12th Fail, an authentic film that performed excellently after strong word of mouth and positive reviews began pouring.
Directed by Suparn Varma, HAQ stars Emraan Hashmi, Yami Gautam Dhar and it also features Vartika Singh making her debut with the film and powerhouse performers Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady. It explores themes of the Uniform Civil Code, Triple Talaq, and gender equality before the law. Written by Reshu Nath, produced by Junglee Pictures, in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, HAQ is currently running in theatres.
Audiences have been reacting positively to the movie. The initial reactions for the movie opened up about the strong plot and intense performances from Emraan and Yami. During an exclusive interview with Filmfare, Yami said, “Today, we’re having larger conversations about these things, and that’s a good thing. The kind of roles being written for women are evolving, and audiences are welcoming. Audience never discriminates. I feel like a small part of this ever-evolving phase of cinema.”
Our reviewer gave the movie 4.5 stars. He commented, “Haq is a reminder that clarity, reason and moral courage can indeed be cinematic. Watch it for its sincerity, for its grace, for its argument but above all, watch it for the performances that give this battle a beating, breathing human heart. And watch it because it believes that the Indian woman, regardless of faith, deserves the Constitution as her shield, not the mercy of men.”
