Haq trailer: Yami Gautam breaks silence and buckles up to change history forever as she locks horns with Emraan Hashmi in court. Watch | Bollywood News
Haq movie trailer and release date: “Why is every punishment and law reserved only for women, and men spared by its implications?” asks a fiery Shazia Bano (Yami Gautam Dhar) as she embarks on a high-octane legal battle against her husband Abbas (Emraan Hashmi), who has divorced her through triple talaq. As she knocks on the doors of the court seeking justice and the monthly maintenance that Abbas had previously agreed upon but suddenly stopped, the case becomes a sensation in the country. Seeing this, Abbas decides to enter the battlefield himself, saying, “If the whole nation is going to get into this, we will give them a spectacle.”
The official trailer of director Suparn S Varma’s Haq is here, promising an intense, explosive and high-stakes legal drama that takes a closer look at the landmark and controversial Shah Bano case of 1985, with Yami playing a fictionalised version of Bano. The 137-second trailer opens with a conversation between Shazia and Abbas, where the latter says, “The matter should not have reached this point. You thought I would be scared?” But Shazia reminds him, “It was about keeping your word,” though he ‘corrects’ her, pointing out that she previously claimed it was about her “dignity.”
As it progresses, the trailer offers glimpses of their past, when they were completely in love, and of the moment everything changed when he welcomed another woman into his life. However, Shazia isn’t ready to “share” her husband the way many other women did, and she voices this fearlessly. Abbas then throws her out of his life completely. With no other option, Shazia moves the court seeking justice for herself and her three children in a case that “pits Muslim Personal Law against Secular Law.” “When the silence was broken, history changed forever,” the trailer says about the legal battle. Although many members of her own community turn against Shazia, she doesn’t budge. “I am not just a Muslim woman. I am a Muslim woman of Hindustan, and I belong to this country. Hence, the law should treat me the same way as it treats other women of Hindustan,” she asserts as the trailer draws to a close.
