About Haq

The Suparn S Varma film is based on the Shah Bano Begum case. Haq dramatises the events surrounding the landmark Mohd Ahmed Khan vs Shah Bano Begum case. It is based on Jigna Vora’s book, Bano: Bharat Ki Beti. The film explores the legal battle that began in 1978 after Shah Bano was divorced by her lawyer husband, Abbas. Her case reached the Supreme Court in 1985 with a five-judge Constitution bench ruling that Muslim women are also entitled to maintenance under the law.

Yami took to her X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday in reaction to the praise the film has received. She wrote, “The power of ‘Word of mouth’. No foul-play or any gimmicks. Straight from our hearts to the audience. Even from trade & media perspective, I feel a lot of positivity that they want a film like ‘ HAQ’ to be a success. It’s a rarity & I shall cherish this moment for life.”

Yami plays Shah Bano in the film while Emraan plays Abbas. Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Husain, Aseem Hattangady and Vartika Singh play key roles.
