Haq Nears ₹8.6 Crore After Strong Opening Weekend on Word-of-Mouth

The courtroom drama about the Shah Bano case converted a modest start into weekend gains after a pre-release legal challenge was dismissed.

Overview

  • Early trade estimates from Sacnilk put Sunday at about ₹3.51 crore, taking the first weekend domestic total to roughly ₹8.61 crore.
  • The film more than doubled on Saturday to ₹3.35 crore, lifting the two-day tally to ₹5.10 crore with improved evening and night occupancies.
  • Opening-day figures were reported inconsistently, with Sacnilk pegging Day 1 around ₹1.65–1.75 crore and makers/trade citing ₹2.03 crore NBOC.
  • Reviews have been broadly positive and word-of-mouth drew audiences, with Yami Gautam noting the growth came without “foul-play or any gimmicks.”
  • Released November 7 and starring Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi, the Suparn S Varma film is inspired by the Shah Bano case and proceeded after the Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed a stay plea.
