Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi starrer Haq is now streaming on Netflix and is gaining fresh attention. The film had a weak theatrical run but is showing its true potential on OTT. Strong audience interest has driven renewed discussion.
Inspired by the Supreme Court judgement of Mohd. Ahmed v. Shah Bano Begum, the film tells the story of a Muslim woman seeking justice. Her struggle begins after her husband marries his cousin. The narrative focuses on law, dignity, and resilience.
Haq released in cinemas on November 7. Despite positive reviews from critics and viewers, the film failed to generate strong box office numbers. Limited reach and serious subject matter affected its theatrical performance.
The digital release on New Year’s Day marked a turning point. Viewers praised the film’s gripping plot and emotionally grounded storytelling. Performances by Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi received widespread appreciation online.
Many users described the film as rare and impactful. Several viewers stated that it deserves wider recognition. The strong social media response suggests the film has connected deeply with OTT audiences.
Following positive word of mouth, Haq topped Netflix’s Top 10 Movie chart. The film may continue its strong run in the coming week. Visibility has increased steadily since its streaming debut.
Yami Gautam’s performance has drawn special praise for its intensity and restraint. Emraan Hashmi’s portrayal of the antagonist adds weight to the conflict. Together, they elevate the film’s emotional impact.
As audiences hail Haq as one of Yami Gautam’s strongest roles, attention remains on its chart performance. It remains to be seen how long the film sustains its position in Netflix’s Top 10 list.

That’s how well he played a villain! He got into the skin of the character like a pro. Very mature and humanized portrayal, Emraan!
Proud of your cinematic choices.
