HAQ Trailer Out: Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam Revisit Shah Bano Case — A Film That Shook India’s Social and Legal System

Mumbai:
The much-awaited trailer of HAQ, starring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, has finally been released — and it’s already sparking strong reactions across the country.

Based on one of the most talked-about legal and social cases in India’s history, HAQ portrays the story of a Muslim woman’s fight for justice and dignity, which changed the lives of millions of women.

In the trailer, Emraan Hashmi plays a determined lawyer who challenges both societal norms and the legal system to secure justice for a woman wronged by patriarchal traditions. Yami Gautam, on the other hand, delivers a moving performance as a brave yet emotional woman who fights for her “Haq” — her rights.

About the Film

Directed by Suparna S. Verma, HAQ is a social and emotional courtroom drama inspired by the historic “Mohammad Ahmed Khan vs Shah Bano Begum” case from the 1980s — a turning point in Indian legal history that ignited a nationwide debate on women’s rights, religion, and constitutional equality.

The film highlights the tension between faith, law, and gender justice, making it one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases of 2025.

HAQ is set to hit theatres on November 7, 2025, and aims to spark conversations about justice, equality, and women’s empowerment in modern India.
