Actor Yami Gautam is thrilled with the impressive box office results of her recent film, Haq, which debuted in theaters on Friday. Co-starring Emraan Hashmi, the film opened strongly and demonstrated a remarkable 100% increase on its second day, reflecting positive audience feedback and word-of-mouth support.
Yami Praises Haq's Significant Growth
In a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter), Yami Gautam shared her appreciation for the film's reception. She reshared a user's tweet emphasizing the box office achievements, which noted:
“Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi-starrer experiences an ENORMOUS 100% growth on Day 2 and is poised for even greater success on Sunday! QUALITY FILMS always attract viewers — and #HAQ is certainly proving this! The encouraging buzz is making a difference now!”
In her retweet, Yami remarked,
“The magic of ‘Word of Mouth’. No tricks or gimmicks. Purely from our hearts to the viewers. Even in trade & media circles, there's substantial positivity around the success of Haq. It’s a unique experience and I will treasure this moment forever.”
A Deep Emotional Bond with Viewers
This heartfelt post followed the circulation of a touching video where an emotional Muslim woman kissed Yami’s hand after watching Haq, expressing gratitude for the narrative that inspired her to “fight back,” an act that resonated with fans and highlighted the film's profound impact.
About the Film
Directed by Suparn Varma, Haq features Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi in leading roles, alongside Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Husain, Aseem Hattangady, and Vartika Singh in essential parts.
As of Saturday evening, the film has reportedly earned about ₹7.92 crore, according to early trade insights. Its weekend performances are being celebrated as indicators of a strong connection with audiences and sincerity, especially amid a landscape filled with large-scale commercial productions.
Inspired by a Historic Legal Case
Haq is inspired by the true story of Shah Bano Begum, a Muslim woman whose legal fight in 1985 resulted in a transformative Supreme Court ruling granting divorced Muslim women their right to maintenance. The film serves as a dramatization of her quest for justice and its broader societal implications in India.
Previously, Shah Bano Begum’s daughter had petitioned the Madhya Pradesh High Court to halt the film's release, but the court dismissed the plea, permitting the film to reach audiences as scheduled.
A Landmark Moment in Yami's Career
Renowned for her compelling performances in Article 370, A Thursday, and Lost, Yami Gautam's role in Haq is being hailed as one of her most profound and relatable to date. Both critics and fans celebrate her nuanced portrayal of courage, resilience, and ethical conviction.
Yami, who has consistently emphasized the importance of content-driven cinema over superficial glamour, seems to have once again resonated brilliantly with Haq. Her reflections on the film's natural success underscore her commitment to storytelling and her profound appreciation for the trust placed in her by the audience.
