In response to a user who praised the film’s performance, Gautam shared a post highlighting the 100% increase in ticket sales on Day 2. The post noted, 'Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi-starrer shows a MASSIVE 100% growth on Day 2 and is set to soar even higher on Sunday! GOOD FILMS always find their audience — and #HAQ is proving it loud and clear! The positive word of mouth is doing wonders now!'

About Haq

According to a report from Sacnilk, Haq has earned ₹ 7.92 crore by 7 PM on its second day. The film is directed by Suparn Varma and features a strong ensemble cast, including Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Husain, Aseem Hattangady, and Vartika Singh, alongside Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi in leading roles.

Haq draws inspiration from the life and legal battles of Shah Bano Begum, whose pivotal case in 1985 prompted the Supreme Court of India to grant divorced Muslim women the right to maintenance. The film's release faced a legal challenge when the Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed a petition filed by Shah Bano Begum's daughter, which sought to delay the film’s release. Despite this, the film has resonated with audiences, underscoring a shift in public sentiment regarding important social issues.
