Haq X Reviews: Fans Demand ‘National Award’ For Yami Gautam, Call It A ‘Reflection Of Society’
Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam's Haq opened on November 7, with glowing reviews from audiences. From social media users demanding a National Award for the actress's fearless performance to celebrities praising the powerful storytelling and the incredible work of the entire cast and crew, the courtroom drama is hailed by movie buffs as a “punch to the system."
Haq, inspired by the Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum case, stars Yami Gautam as Shazia Bano, wife of Advocate Mohd. Ahmad Khan, played by Emraan Hashmi. Directed by Suparn S Varma and produced by Junglee Pictures, Insomnia Films, and Baweja Studios, this is indeed a must-watch. Here are the initial reviews of the movie.
Celebrities Say Haq Is A “Thought-Provoking" Movie
Actor Kamaal R. Khan said, “Film #HAQ is a must-watch for all Muslim women. Yami Gautam is at her very best. Director #SupernVerma has done a brilliant job. Emraan Hashmi's wig is as bad as his acting. Vartika Singh has done very impressive acting. It's Produced by #SandeepSingh and #VickyJain! Love it."

Hailing the movie as a powerful, fearless film, actor Meerraa Chopraa shared, “Haq reminds you — justice isn't given, it's taken. Even if it costs everything. It's not just about one woman's fight, it's about every woman who dared to ask for justice. Haq isn't just a film, it's a punch to the system. The Shah Bano case may be decades old, but the mindset it exposes? Still alive and kicking. Watch it — and ask yourself if we've really changed."
She continued, “@yamigautam I am ur fan!! You are fire wrapped in grace. Unshakable, honest, unforgettable. #vishalgurnani #juhimehta #sandeepsingh you guys are becoming ‘it' producers fir content driven powerful cinema @Suparn you are a genius!

The film has many talented people including the stellar lensing by my forever young wonder boy @prathamdop."
“Of course, the ever-shining @yamigautam and always underrated @emraanhashmi are supported by writing of the very brilliant @ReshuNath. My favorites @aseemjh and @jaiminipathak as usual will light up any scene with their brilliance. So many wonderful people and such wonderful responses already to the film. Seize the moment team #Haq and break a leg! It is your well deserved Haq!" he added.
