Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam’s Haq has turned the spotlight back on one of India’s most debated legal battles — the Shah Bano case. Released on November 7, the film had a lukewarm opening at the box office but is now gaining impressive momentum, thanks to positive word-of-mouth and audience appreciation for its hard-hitting storyline.

Haq Box Office Collection Day 3: Weekend Boost Brings Relief

According to industry tracker SacNilk, Haq earned ₹1.75 crore on its opening day. However, positive audience reviews turned the tide on Saturday, as the film witnessed an impressive 91.43% jump, collecting ₹3.35 crore. On Sunday, the growth continued with another ₹3.31 crore, taking the total three-day collection to ₹8.41 crore.

While the weekend figures have given the makers a sigh of relief, the real challenge begins on Monday when weekday collections will determine the film’s long-term success. Despite competition from Thama, Baahubali: The Epic, Haq has managed to carve its space among the audience.

The Real Story Behind the Film: The Shah Bano Case

The movie is inspired by the true story of Shah Bano, a Muslim woman who sought alimony from her husband after divorce. The Supreme Court ruled in her favor, but the judgment sparked widespread controversy as it clashed with Muslim Personal Law. The case became a turning point in Indian legal and political discourse, igniting debates across the nation about women’s rights and religious law.
