Haq delves into sensitive legal and social issues, particularly around gender, justice and women’s rights. Inspired by real-life events tied to personal laws in India, the film follows Shazia Bano (played by Yami), who takes on the legal system after being abandoned by her husband through triple talaq. Emraan Hashmi portrays her husband, Abbas Khan, giving a layered performance as a figure caught up in personal and cultural complexities.
