Haq plot

Haq is a 2025 Hindi drama film based on the real-life Shah Bano case, starring Yami Gautam as Shazia Bano and Emraan Hashmi as her husband, Abbas Khan.

The story follows Shazia, a housewife in the 1980s, who is abandoned by her lawyer husband, who takes a second wife. When her husband stopped supporting their three children, Shazia took him to court, sparking a national debate about women's rights, personal law, and faith. What began as Shazia's personal struggle became a groundbreaking case that sparked a national conversation about women's rights, faith, and justice.

The OTTplay review for Haq stated that the film boldly makes its claim, delivering a powerful verdict on patriarchal laws that often leave women without their "haq" (rights). Although the legal triumph may seem modest, the film is a significant win for cinema, with Yami Gautam delivering a landmark performance that's worth fighting for.
