Haq review

As per WION's Shomini Sen, the fact that the case played an important role in criminalizing and abolishing triple talaq in recent years by the current government makes it an important watch to understand the reasons that led to such a historic move in the country. The performances are like a cherry on a cake. Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam have been solid performers all throughout, and in Suparn S Verma’s film, they shine.

However, the film drags slightly when it is inching towards the climax. Since the story is known to many, there is no surprise element in the film or in its climax. It also very subtly plays to the gallery, but that can almost be overlooked simply because the performances are all stupendous. One can’t help but notice that a film about Muslims and their laws has been made primarily by a Hindu crew.

On which case is Haq based?

Siddiqua Begum, the daughter and legal heir of Shah Bano, had served a legal notice to the makers for immediate restraint on the publication, screening, promotion, or release of the film. According to the notice, the complaint filed by Siddiqua Begum alleges the unauthorised depiction of the personal life of the late Shah Bano Begum without the consent of her legal heir. The notice had been sent to the film's director, Suparn Varma, producers Junglee Pictures and Baweja Studios, and also to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
