Haq Box Office Collection Day 1: Yami Gautam Gets Her Second Lowest Opener In A Decade Despite Good Reviews

Haq Box Office Collection Day 1: Yami Gautam is all over the headlines these days courtesy of her recent release. We are talking about Haq which is one of the courtroom drama and is inspired by the landmark Supreme Court judgement of Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum. Directed by Suparn Verma, Haq also features Emraan Hashmi, Paridhi Sharma, Sheeba Chaddha, Vartika Singh, S M Zaheer, Danish Husain etc. Marking Yami and Emraan's first collaboration, Haq has been one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

To note, Haq features Emraan in the role of Adv. Mohammed Ahmad Khan, Shazia Bano's husband while Yami is seen playing the role of Shazia Bano. Interestingly, this is the first time Emraan was seen in the role of a lawyer and it did add on to the audience's excitement. Haq has been mired with a controversy before it had hit the screens as Shah Bano's family had reached the court alleging privacy breach and demanded a stay on the movie's release. However, Madhya Pradesh High Court had dismissed their petition. As Haq had hit the screens on November 7, it opened to rave reviews.

Haq Becomes Yami Gautam's Second Lowest Opener In A Decade

Haq Box Office Collection Day 2 Prediction

Given the fact that weekend has begun, Haq is expected to see some hike in numbers especially owing to good reviews. The courtroom drama is expected to mint 2-3cr today (day 2/ first Saturday) and will be inching close to Rs 5cr mark

Meanwhile, during a conversation with HT, Emraan was quizzed if he was hesitant about taking up the controversial topic, to which he said, "There were questions when I signed this film. I have done films of a certain nature. But it's very important as an actor to do a gamut of characters. That, for me, is growth as an artiste. If you don't risk things, that's not art, that's empty marketing. You do those popcorn flicks that release and are forgotten after the first week of theatrical release, which is fine, that's part of business. But films (like Haq) are important, too. You want to do films that leave behind a message and will stay in people's conversations... Haq is not singling out people from a certain community or maligning it. It's about people from a community; it could be any community".
