Haq Box Office Day 1: Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi Film Opens Slowly with ₹1 Crore Collection
On November 7, 2025, the courtroom drama “Haq” featuring Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi debuted in theaters. Despite receiving positive reviews, the film experienced a slow start at the box office.
Haq Box Office Day 1 Collection
As per Sacnilk’s latest update, “Haq” accumulated a collection of ₹1.36 crore on its opening day. This slow initial figure indicates a cautious audience response, although positive reviews may help improve ticket sales over the weekend.
About the Film
“Haq” draws inspiration from the notable Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum case from 1985. This landmark case resulted in the Supreme Court ruling that granted divorced Muslim women the right to maintenance.
The storyline focuses on Shazia, played by Yami Gautam, who is an uneducated woman caught in a challenging situation after her husband, Abbas Khan (portrayed by Emraan Hashmi), unexpectedly takes a second wife and subsequently ends their marriage through a divorce method known as triple talaq. Shazia’s battle for her rights unfolds throughout the film.
Critical Reception
Yami Gautam’s performance has been particularly praised. Critics note that she delivers a compelling portrayal of Shazia, effectively capturing her character’s emotional turmoil. An excerpt from a Hindustan Times review emphasizes her ability to convey deep feelings, especially in moments of disbelief, such as when she confronts her husband about his second marriage.
While some courtroom sequences have been critiqued for veering into melodrama, the film’s performances are seen as its strong suit. Initial word of mouth may encourage greater audience turnout in the following days.
Legal Context
The film’s premise is grounded in a significant legal battle. The Madhya Pradesh High Court had previously dismissed a request from Shah Bano Begum’s daughter to halt the film’s release, underscoring the relevance of the storyline.
As “Haq” seeks to find its footing at the box office, its societal implications and performances may play a crucial role in its long-term success.
