What does not break you makes you stronger! This age-old saying comes to life in Junglee Pictures' latest outing - Haq - starring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam. Known for making pathbreaking cinema, Junglee Pictures, this time, brings forth a hard-hitting courtroom drama inspired by a landmark Supreme Court verdict that changed the course of history. Haq tells the story of Shazia Bano, a small-town Muslim woman with quiet dignity, played brilliantly by Yami Gautam! She gets married to the man she loves, Emraan Hashmi's Abbas Khan, a highly successful lawyer, and thus begins their fairytale romance that makes you believe in love. You root for them when Abbas transfers his property to Shazia's name after her spat with one of their neighbours. Gradually, they become one big happy family, welcoming three children. Shazia and Abbas' world looks complete, filled with love and happiness. Until it falls apart. One day, Abbas comes home with his second wife, Saira (Vartika Singh), out of the blue. Shazia is stunned. She is told to behave like a 'first wife' and accept the second begum of her shauhar. Her home, her safe haven, begins to feel like a trap. The film draws you in with its tenderness and then delivers this gut-punch.

Shazia's anguish is real. After Abbas stops sending her money for their three children, Shazia doesn't stay quiet. She does something that delivers a massive blow to Abbas' ego - go to court. Following this, Abbas exercises Triple Talaq and divorces Shazia. What follows is a long court battle where Shazia fights for her maintenance rights, challenging faith and law all at once. Here, director Suparn S Varma doesn't rely on loud theatrics but on calibrated restraint. Yami brings heartbreaking dignity to Shazia. Her look, her composure, and the quiet power in her eyes make you feel the weight of what's been stolen, and the strength of what she refuses to give up. Emraan offers intense restraint: he is charming, intelligent, confident, but also quietly entitled, fundamentally flawed. The message of the film pulses through the moments where Shazia says simple but devastating lines, "Kabhi kabhi mohabbat kaafi nahi hoti, izzat bhi zaruri hoti hai." This weighs more than any grand speech because it is grounded in lived experience. We move from the heartbreak of betrayal to the hard-won dignity of resistance. And that's where you feel strengthened. It's one thing to rage silently; it's another to stand up and ask - "Is this my right?" When Shazia asks questions in court, when she defies expectations and refuses to hide her pain, you feel the power of that moment. It's not about a heroic revenge; it's about finding your voice, your dignity, your sense of self. Haq won't give you escapist fun, but it gives you something more urgent. A reminder that standing up for your dignity isn't optional. It leaves you thinking, feeling and yes, stronger. If you are ready for a film that breaks you, then builds you back up, Haq is waiting.
