Haq Box Office Collection Day 1: Yami Gautam-Emraan Hashmi Starrer Off To A Slow Start

Haq box office collection Day 1: Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi starrer hit the screens on November 7 amid controversy. Directed by Suparn Varma, the film is inspired by the Supreme Court's landmark judgement in the Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum case of 1985. It's about a woman fighting for her rights and justice. The film raises questions on secular law versus personal law, triple talaq, religious identity, personal beliefs and more.

Haq has received positive reviews from critics and audiences, with many calling it a "powerful" and "impactful" film. Yami and Emraan have also been praised for their performances. Despite favourable reviews, the film failed to take a strong start as it was expected. It couldn't even earn Rs 2 crore on Day 1. Here's the box office collection of Haq.

Haq plot

The film revolves around Shazia (played by Yami Gautam), who marries Abbas Khan (played by Emraan Hashmi), a renowned advocate. Everything seems fine in the early stage of their marriage but things change and romance between them fades. Shazia is surprised when on day Abbas brings home a second wife. This shatters Shazia but she is advised to "adjust" by her mother-in-law. She decides to leave with her children, while Abbas continues to send maintenance but he eventually stops. He ends their marriage through triple talaq and Shazia’s legal fight for her rights begins. Will justice prevail?

Ahead of the film's release, Shah Bano's daughter filed a plea seeking to halt the release of Haq. However, the Madhya Pradesh High Court, dismissed her petition, saying that the film was scheduled to be released on November 7, and that there was a delay on the part of the petitioner to file the plea.
