Haq Collection Day 1 Early Update: Slow Start For Emraan-Yami’s Film; Can It Beat The Kashmir Files Opening?

Haq Box Office Collection Day 1 Early Update: Bollywood actors Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam are back on the big screen with their latest release, Haq, which opened in cinemas today, November 7. Directed by Suparn Varma and co-starring Sheeba Chadha in a pivotal role, the film is a period drama set in the 1980s that draws inspiration from the real-life story of Shah Bano. Amid moderate pre-release buzz, Haq arrived in theatres today, entering a competitive box office scenario with other much-talked-about releases such as The Girlfriend, Jatadhara, and several regional films.

Haq OTT Release Platform: Where Is The Film Likely To Premiere Online?

Haq follows the narrative of Saira Bano's courageous fight for justice after being abandoned by her husband, Mohammed Ahmad Khan, a well-known advocate from Indore, leaving her to fend for herself and her children. The story not only explores her legal battle in the Supreme Court but also sheds light on the social and personal challenges she faced during that era.

According to OTTPlay, Netflix has reportedly acquired the post-theatrical digital streaming rights for Haq. This means that after completing its theatrical run, the film will make its OTT debut on Netflix, giving audiences who missed it in cinemas a chance to watch it from home. The exact digital premiere date is yet to be officially announced, but the streaming release is expected to follow an 8-week gap after the film's theatrical window.

Haq Opening Day Collection Early Trend (Today)

Despite the pre-release buzz and attention surrounding the film, Haq has had a modest start at the box office on its opening day. According to real-time Sacnilk updates, the film has managed to collect approximately ₹51 lakhs as of 6:00 PM today.

Haq Vs The Kashmir Files Box Office Day 1

When comparing real-life inspired films, Haq faces a tough benchmark set by previous releases. The Kashmir Files, for instance, had earned around ₹3.55 crore on its opening day, according to Sacnilk.

In comparison, Haq is off to a modest start, making it unlikely to surpass The Kashmir Files first-day numbers. However, there is still a chance for the Emraan Hashmi-Yami Gautam starrer to improve its performance as evening and night shows kick in, potentially boosting footfalls and overall collections.
