If you missed Haq during its theatrical run, there’s good news. The much-talked-about courtroom drama starring Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi is all set for its digital premiere. The film, inspired by a landmark legal battle, is finally making its way to OTT this week.
Haq OTT Release Date and Platform
Directed by Suparn Varma, Haq will start streaming on Netflix from January 2. The announcement was made by Netflix India on Instagram, along with the film’s official poster.
The caption summed up the film’s spirit well: from the confines of a home to the courtroom, this is a journey driven by courage, not helplessness.

What Is Haq About?
Haq tells the story of Shazia, played by Yami Gautam, a simple, uneducated woman married to Abbas Khan (Emraan Hashmi), a respected lawyer. Her life takes a sudden turn when Abbas brings home a second wife and later ends their marriage through triple talaq.
What follows is Shazia’s determined legal fight for dignity and rights. The film draws inspiration from the real-life struggle of Shah Bano Begum, whose 1985 case changed the conversation around maintenance rights for divorced Muslim women in India.
Performances That Hold the Film Together
One of the biggest strengths of Haq is its acting. Yami Gautam’s portrayal of Shazia has been widely praised for its restraint and emotional honesty. Her quiet disbelief and gradual transformation feel raw and real, especially in the courtroom moments.
Emraan Hashmi, playing a morally conflicted advocate, brings a calm intensity to his role, making the personal conflict feel just as important as the legal one. While some courtroom scenes lean slightly towards melodrama, the performances keep the film engaging throughout.

Why Haq Is Worth Watching on OTT
Haq isn’t just another courtroom drama. It touches on themes of justice, personal courage, and social reform without losing its emotional core. With its Netflix release, the film is likely to reach a much wider audience, especially viewers who prefer socially relevant stories rooted in real events.
For those who enjoy legal dramas with strong performances and a meaningful message, Haq is worth adding to the watchlist this weekend.
