 "Haq: How Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam's film dares to tell the story of Triple Talaq and Shah Bano")
Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam are coming together for the first time for a drama called HAQ. The film is inspired by the 1980 Shah Bano case, a landmark judgment of the Supreme Court about a Muslim woman’s maintenance.
The theme of Triple Talaq
_HAQ_ is a film that tackles bold and often untapped theme of triple talaq by the character of Hashmi to his wife Gautam. What follows next is a fight for justice and maintenance. And the actor said at the trailer launch how the film presents a balanced view of both the sides.
A fierce story
A fierce story of one woman, a mother’s fight against the system and society, the trailer of HAQ stands as a testament to a no-holds-barred, gripping, and provocative drama. Produced by Junglee Pictures in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, _HAQ_ is inspired by a landmark Supreme Court judgment.
Why the film is poignant and powerful
_HAQ_ serves as a timely reminder that courage, when combined with knowledge and resilience, can move mountains. The debate in the film may have begun in the 1980s, but its relevance and intensity can still be felt today. A relentless conflict between personal belief and secular law, the film is a nail-biting takedown of patriarchy.
How Muslim audiences are hailing HAQ
A user wrote, “I am a Muslim and I remember the days when this used to be true. Many women used to be devastated by this. Funnily, even in Muslim countries, triple talaq is banned. At least in India, the triple Talaq ban has given relief to so many Indian women. This movie should make everyone aware of the sad reality of the past.” “It’s a very bold step to make a movie on such a topic, Hat’s off to the makers, Writer Director and producer. As a Muslim who has witnessed several cases, I understand the plight of a Muslim woman, the last dialogue summarizes it all “Hum sirf ek Mussalman Aurat nahi balke Hindustan ki Mussalman Aurat hain” Very excited for the movie,” wrote another user.
