Roughly two months ago, Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi took the theatres by storm when their film Haq released. Inspired by the landmark Supreme Court judgement of Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum, the film follows the story of a Muslim woman who seeks legal redress after her husband marries his cousin. On release, Haq received glowing reviews by audiences, who praised Yami and Emraan, calling the film one of their best yet. Well, much to our delight, after shaking up the box office, Haq has now arrived on the digital medium. Here’s what netizens have to say about it.

But this movie is much more. @yamigautam is brilliant actress, particularly the scene where she walks away from her home, her palms rubbed by the bricked walls. Another great piece of acting by Sheeba Chaddha, such a brilliant actress. And @emraanhashmi all the love for courage and bravery. No actor goes overboard, restrained acting. Must watch @NetflixIndia,” whereas another netizen shared, “#Haq is an absolutely brilliant film👏🏼 Such cinema is rare & something to truly be proud of in Indian cinema. The performances, oh my god. @yamigautam is phenomenal throughout! @emraanhashmi needless to say, aces his role. The film deserves so much more recognition👍🏼.”
