HAQ Review: A Courageous, Restrained Look at Law, Faith, and Dignity Stars: 4/5 Haq is the kind of cinema that doesn't just entertain; it demands reflection. Inspired by the landmark Shah Bano case, director Suparn Verma delivers a courtroom drama that manages to be both deeply sensitive and searingly political, focusing not on sensationalism, but on the quiet, devastating human cost of legal and religious conflicts. The film follows Shazia Bano (Yami Gautam), whose life shatters when her lawyer-husband, Abbas Khan (Emraan Hashmi), takes a second wife and then cruelly weaponizes religious law to deny her and their children maintenance. What begins as a personal betrayal quickly escalates into a fierce legal fight for dignity that echoes the historic 1980s Supreme Court judgment. The film's strength lies in its maturity. It doesn't vilify faith but rather exposes how patriarchy, ego, and entitlement twist religious tenets to justify cruelty. The writing (by Reshu Nath) is sh...

The Dirty Picture had a strong start at the box office as it opened to 60-65% collections on average at multiplexes. The film was best in and around the Maharashtra area where the opening was 80%. Nizam was also very good with around 75%. Delhi and Punjab opened to around 50-60% while Gujarat and Mysore were on the lower side. West Bengal also managed a good opening which is rare as not many films open well there. The presence of Emraan Hasmi has helped the film as he has a strong following in many mass pockets in the country and with multiplexes and single screens doing well it could turn out to be a very good first day. The opening compares well with last weeks Desi Boyz and the film could put similar opening day collections or even better than that film despite a smaller release.
