Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam starrer Haq is preparing for its OTT release after a disappointing theatrical run. The film is inspired by real events and initially managed to attract audience interest during its cinema release.
Despite early curiosity, Haq failed to sustain momentum at the box office. Collections remained below expectations, placing the film among recent theatrical releases that struggled to find strong footfall across centres.
The film is now scheduled to stream on Netflix from January 2. This move has sparked discussions around whether the digital platform can offer the film a second chance with a wider audience base.
Industry trends suggest that films rejected by theatrical audiences often face similar responses on OTT platforms. Digital releases rarely change perception unless strong word of mouth builds quickly after streaming.
A recent example includes the Salman Khan and Rashmika starrer Sikandar, which failed to gain traction even after its digital release. The film struggled to create impact despite star presence and platform reach.
It remains uncertain whether Haq can defy this pattern and connect with viewers online. The coming weeks will determine if the film finds renewed interest or quietly fades from public memory.
