Yami Gautam Dhar And Emraan Hashmi’s HAQ Teaser Out, Film To Release On THIS Date
Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi starrer Haq teaser is out. The film is directed by Suparn S Varma and intense drama inspired by the landmark judgement of the Supreme Court on Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum case. The makers have also announced the release date, November 7.
The teaser opens with a love story, and a private dispute between a husband and wife shifts to a rousing debate on a provocative topic that begs a solution even today – a courtroom battle spotlighting greater questions of faith, identity, liberalism, personal belief and eventually policy and law – the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) under article 44.
Watch the teaser now:
In HAQ, Yami portrays an inspiring Muslim woman who refuses to be silenced. Wronged and abandoned, she fights a system stacked up against her. She is unafraid to go to court demanding her ‘HAQ’ for herself and her children under section 125. Coming together for the first time, Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi deliver a compelling story, with Hashmi playing the role of a razor-sharp and celebrated lawyer and Yami leading a battle that dares society to pick a side.
About the film
HAQ is a fictionalized and dramatized version of events stated in the book titled ‘Bano: Bharat ki Beti’ written by Jigna Vora, and revisits one of the most controversial cases in the India of the 80s — the conversation that started more than 4 decades back remains urgent and relevant in our society even today – shouldn’t the opportunity of justice be equal for all? Is it time for one nation, one law? Where do we draw the line between personal belief and secular law? Should there be a Uniform Civil Code (UCC)?
A mother’s raw, uncompromising courage, is the soul of HAQ. Gripping and unpredictable, Haq is loaded with relentless twists, emotions, and drama.
Release:
Haq is set to release in theatres on 7th November 2025, directed by one of the most dynamic directors today in the industry Suparn S Varma ( creator of Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, The Family Man, Rana Naidu), and written by Reshu Nath. Strengthening the talent roster of HAQ are actors par excellence Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady.
