Emraan Hashmi just lit up social media like a Diwali rocket with the explosive teaser drop of HAQ — and he’s not pulling any punches. Captioning it “The storm that shook the nation!!” Hashmi gives us a glimpse into a courtroom drama drenched in passion, politics, and pain. Inspired by the 1985 Supreme Court judgement in Mohd. Ahmed Khan vs. Shah Bano Begum, the film is already stirring debate. And trust Emraan to make a legal case look like a war cry for justice.
For those who skipped their civics class, the Shah Bano case wasn’t just a divorce case — it was a seismic cultural flashpoint. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Shah Bano’s right to alimony, igniting outrage among conservative factions and leading to the infamous Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, which effectively overturned the judgment. HAQ isn’t just telling a story — it’s digging up a wound that India still hasn’t quite healed from.
Directed by Suparn Varma and produced by the ever-bold Junglee Pictures, HAQ stars Yami Gautam as Shah Bano, bringing quiet fury and resilience, and Emraan Hashmi as Ahmed Khan — a role that could redefine his career. The cast is stacked with talent: Vartika Singhh, Danish Husain, Sheeba Chadha and others, while the music by Sandeep Chowta promises to raise goosebumps. This isn’t just cinema; it’s court proceedings served with cinematic fire.
Releasing on November 7, 2025, HAQ lands right in the middle of a national conversation about gender rights, religion, and legal reform. With rising interest in personal law uniformity and women’s rights in India, the timing is deliciously strategic. Expect fireworks — not just on-screen, but in Parliament debates, WhatsApp groups, and dinner table discussions. It’s a film that dares to poke the bear of history and ask: where do we really stand in 2025?
With its teaser already trending, HAQ has done what few courtroom dramas manage — made legal history feel electric. If the teaser is anything to go by, the full film might just shake the conscience of the nation all over again. So, mark your calendars, charge your opinions, and maybe read up on the Shah Bano case — because come November 7, the court of public opinion is going to be packed.
