Courtroom dramas always hit harder when they mix emotions, law, and uncomfortable truths—and Haq does exactly that. Starring Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi, this socially charged film stirred conversations during its theatrical run and is now all set to spark them again on OTT. If you missed it in theatres (or want a deeper, uninterrupted watch), here’s everything you need to know about Haq before it lands on your screen.
Haq OTT Release Date: When and Where to Watch Yami Gautam-Emraan Hashmi’s Powerful Social Drama?
Haq Movie Plot
Directed by Suparn Verma, Haq draws inspiration from the landmark Supreme Court verdict in Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum, a case that shook India in the 1980s and ignited nationwide debates around women’s rights, religion, and constitutional law.
The story follows Shazia Bano (Yami Gautam Dhar), whose life turns upside down when her husband Mohammad Abbas Khan (Emraan Hashmi) abandons her and their family to marry another woman, Saira. What begins as Shazia’s fight for maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code slowly transforms into a fierce constitutional battle.
Haq carefully navigates the grey zones between personal laws and secular justice, questioning how women’s rights are interpreted within religious customs—and whether justice can truly be uniform in a diverse nation like India.
Haq Movie Cast
Haq features a strong ensemble cast that adds depth and credibility to its intense courtroom drama. Yami Gautam Dhar leads the film as Shazia Bano, delivering a restrained, dignified, and quietly powerful performance.
Emraan Hashmi plays Adv. Mohammad Abbas Khan, her estranged husband and formidable courtroom opponent, bringing complexity to a morally conflicted character.
Sheeba Chaddha shines as Bela Jain, Shazia’s sharp yet compassionate lawyer, while Danish Husain lends emotional warmth as Maulvi Basheer Anwer, her steadfast and supportive father. While every actor leaves an impact, it is Yami’s subtle and controlled portrayal that firmly anchors the film’s emotional core.
Box Office Performance and Review
Released in theatres on November 7, 2025, Haq received largely positive critical reviews. Critics applauded the film for its mature handling of a sensitive topic and praised both lead actors-especially Yami-for delivering nuanced, controlled performances.
However, despite the great reviews, the film struggled commercially. As per reports, Haq collected approximately ₹19.62 crore net domestically and around ₹28.68 crore worldwide.
Haq OTT Release Date: When and Where to Watch
For those waiting to catch Haq on OTT, the wait is almost over. The Yami Gautam-Emraan Hashmi starrer is set to premiere on Netflix on January 2, 2026, arriving exactly eight weeks after its theatrical release. With its digital debut, Haq gets a fresh chance to connect with a global audience-one that is often more open to nuanced, thought-provoking, and socially driven storytelling.
