Inspired by the landmark 1985 Shah Bano Begum case,
Haq is a gripping courtroom drama that follows the arduous journey of Shazia Bano (Yami Gautam Dhar), a devoted homemaker whose life is shattered when her husband, the successful advocate Abbas Khan (Emraan Hashmi), marries a second wife and summarily divorces her through triple talaq. Refusing to succumb to neglect and poverty, Shazia initiates a courageous legal battle for her right to maintenance and dignity, challenging deep-seated religious personal laws and societal norms. The film masterfully explores the complex intersection of constitutional rights and personal faith, culminating in a national debate that questions the very fabric of justice and equality for women in India.
