Haq Trailer: Yami Gautam And Emraan Hashmi Clash In Courtroom Drama Inspired By Shah Bano Case

The much-anticipated trailer for Haq, starring Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi, was unveiled on Monday (October 27), promising a gripping tale of faith, justice, and identity. Directed by Suparn S Varma, the film is inspired by the historic Shah Bano case, one of the most pivotal judgments in India’s legal history that ignited national debate on women’s rights and personal law.

A Story Rooted In Justice And Resistance

At its core, Haq is a powerful courtroom drama that transcends legal boundaries to explore larger questions of belief, equality, and the price of truth. The story follows Shazia, played by Yami Gautam, a woman whose pursuit of justice defies both the system and societal conventions. Her determination to stand against injustice

sparks a nationwide conversation on women’s autonomy and faith.

Emraan Hashmi portrays her husband — a lawyer and her unexpected adversary in court — whose ideological clash with Shazia becomes the emotional and intellectual centerpiece of the film. Their courtroom confrontations unfold not just as legal duels, but as deeply personal battles between conviction, love, and identity.

“It Takes Just One Voice To Make A Difference”: Yami Gautam

The trailer gives audiences a glimpse of an emotionally charged world — fierce exchanges, striking dialogues, and performances that balance vulnerability with defiance. Speaking at the launch event, Yami Gautam shared what drew her to the project, “This story moved me deeply. It’s not just Shazia’s fight — it’s a reflection of the strength and resilience of countless women who’ve been told to stay silent. This film is more than a role for me. It’s a reminder that it takes just one voice to make a difference.”

Her words underline Haq’s emotional weight — a reminder that silence is often the biggest form of oppression.

Emraan Hashmi On The Ideological Clash

Sharing his perspective on the film, Emraan Hashmi described Haq as a deeply human story wrapped in the intensity of a courtroom drama, “The courtroom becomes a warzone of ideas, faith, identity, love, and justice colliding all at once. It’s powerful, provocative, and deeply human,” he said.

A Story That Echoes Beyond The Courtroom

Director Suparn S Varma, known for his sharp storytelling and socially charged narratives, called Haq “the story of a voice that shook the nation.”

“When women were expected to stay silent, one voice echoed across the country. Haq is about courage, self-respect, and an unwavering fight for identity, dignity, and equality,” he stated.

The Team Behind Haq

The film also stars Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, Aseem Hattangady, and debutante Vartika Singh in significant roles. Based on journalist Jigna Vora’s book Bano: Bharat Ki Beti, the film raises a fundamental question — can justice ever truly be separated from religion?

Produced by Junglee Pictures in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, Haq is slated to release in theatres on November 7, 2025. With its powerful premise, stellar cast, and emotional depth, Haq promises to be one of the year’s most compelling cinematic experiences.
