On Wednesday, Netflix India shared the announcement on their official Instagram account with the poster of Haq. The film will stream on the platform from January 2. The caption of the post read, “Ghar ki chaar deewaron se adalat tak. Yeh safar majboori ka nahi, himmat ka hai (From the walls inside her home to the courtroom.

About Haq

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “What keeps you seated throughout are the performances. Yami Gautam Dhar delivers a well-measured portrayal of Shazia. She remains consistent from start to finish, yet knows exactly when to raise the intensity. Her stunned disbelief as she asks her husband, “Aapne doosri shaadi kar li?” is one of the film’s most affecting moments. Yami channels Shah Bano’s pain and helplessness with conviction. The courtroom scenes, however, occasionally tip into melodrama from a writing POV, perhaps to appeal to a wider audience.”
