Junglee Pictures’ Haq was officially screened at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa. Director Suparn S Varma & Writer Reshu Nath offered glimpses from the packed auditorium, and it shows that the film’s ideological ambition has struck a chord with the audiences. Yami, too, shared a video on Instagram’s story section that shows a packed auditorium and people clapping as the credits rolled.
Take a look at it:
Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam Dhar deliver two of their most layered performances to date. As Abbas Khan and Shazia Bano, they have earned immense appreciation not just for their nuanced portrayals but also for taking on one of the boldest on-screen narratives in recent times. As the film revolves around bold concepts of religion, law and rights, backed by impactful performances by the cast, the film received an incredible response by the deeply moved audience.
Haq also features debutant Vartika Singh in a key role, along with powerhouse performers Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady.
Filmfare gave the film a rating of 4.5 in their review and wrote, “Much of this impact works because the writing is sharp, intelligent and deeply internalised. Reshu Nath’s screenplay understands the emotional minefield of faith versus constitutional rights without turning the narrative into an academic lecture. She builds conflict through spaces of doubt, lived contradiction and internal bias, not just external provocation. And Suparn S Varma’s direction keeps the storytelling grounded and balanced. He refuses sensationalism, he resists easy villainy, and he allows silences to speak. His directorial hand ensures Haq is not a polemic, it is a lived human drama.”
Written by Reshu Nath, and produced by Junglee Pictures in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, HAQ is currently running in theatres near you.
