Mumbai: Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi’s courtroom drama Haq hit theatres on November 7, 2025, and opened with an estimated ₹1.65 crore net collection in India on its first day. According to the early estimates of industry tracker Sacnilk, the film made ₹1.65 crore on Friday with a total occupancy of 9.97 percent across all shows. The film has been positively reviewed by the word-of-mouth audience despite the low opening, which hints that its weekend expansion will dictate its future box-office success.
About Haq
Directed by Suparn Varma and produced by Junglee Pictures, Baweja Studios, and Insomnia Films, Haq follows a woman (Yami Gautam) named Shazia, who has divorced her husband, Abbas Khan, using triple talaq in court, and whose husband, Abbas Khan (Emraan Hashmi) is the main focus of the case. The movie is based on a famous 1985 case of Shah Bano, which influenced the discourse on the rights and maintenance of Muslim women in India. The supporting performances by Sheeba Chaddha, Aseem Hattangady, Danish Husain and Vartika Singh have also been applauded for adding emotional depth to the intense courtroom drama.
Having an approximate production budget of some ₹45-50 crore, the slow opening by Haq is considered an underperformance compared to expectations. However, Yami Gautam’s strong screen presence, and Emraan Hashmi’s nuanced portrayal have all been appreciated by critics. Its realistic tone, gripping scenes, and socially appropriate plot make the film an exception in the season of commercial entertainers.
The movie industry pundits are now awaiting the jump over the weekend whether the film will pick any momentum through good word-of-the-mouth. Assuming that it continues within the next few days, Haq may end up in the path of other content-driven hits that began slowly but ended up to be steady performers. For now, Haq is on the lowkey launch but promises a meaningful cinema that blends emotion, law, and justice on the big screen
