Haq X review: Yami Gautam deserves a National Award, says social media

Director Suparn Verma’s ‘Haq’ received positive reactions from fans over its realistic depiction of India’s most controversial courtroom trials. X users praised the Emraan Hashmi, Yami Gautam film for avoiding politicisation and not taking sides.

An X user commended ‘Haq’ for awaking people’s consciences and wrote, “Some films don’t try to please you. They try to wake you up. #Haq is one of them. Powerful writing, brave direction, and performances that hit where it hurts. It’s not entertainment. It’s reflection. And maybe that’s what we need more of!…(sic).”

Another user captioned, “Every frame of #Haq proves why #YamiGautam is a class apart. No hype, just pure talent and conviction. She’s ruling Indian cinema with back-to-back award-winning performances. She deserves a prestigious National Award next year!!…@yamigautam… #haqreview…(sic).”

A fan also praised the film for its honesty, while also complementing Yami Gautam’s performance and wrote, “#Haq hits hard — a raw, thought-provoking courtroom drama that tears into hypocrisy and blind faith ruling our society. It’s bold, emotional, and brutally honest. @yamigautam is a revelation fierce, fearless, and absolutely commanding every frame Her performance carries the film with sheer power and purpose. #EmraanHashmi #Haq #YamiGautam #EmraanHashmi…(sic).”

Another fan captioned, “Just watched #Haq…what a powerful film…@emraanhashmi…you were fab in it seeing you as a lawyer was something new and so beautifully done. You have this way of bringing every role to life…Always proud of you…(sic).”

An X user, while praising the film’s storytelling and performances wrote, “#Haq is not as what I thought of – I felt there will be some political propaganda in it, but I was wrong. I am rather happy with the compact script, sticking to the concerning matter with a courtroom drama! Emraan Hashmi as Abbas has done a fantabulous job portraying the fragile male ego with gaslighting & brainwashing skills, while Yami Gautam’s innocence & learning years after years of fighting for her self-respect is what the movie is all about!..(sic).”

India Today, in its review for ‘Haq’, wrote, “In the end, Suparn Verma handles a deeply sensitive subject with rare restraint and grace, and Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi rise to the occasion with two of their most layered performances yet. Haq is a steady, courageous film that doesn’t beg for your sympathy; it earns your respect. It also reminds you that standing up for your dignity is, indeed, your haq.”

‘Haq’ theatrically released on November 7, 2025.
