Haq

"'Haq' does what it sets out to do with clear-eyed empathy, giving us an ordinary woman who found extraordinary strength and resilience to fight for her cause, and created, without ever quite realising it, history. The film could have gone horribly over-the-top, but Varma is steadfast in his intent, lacing his story-telling with welcome restraint."

"As a saga of courage, human dignity, and the deliberately maintained 'debate' between religion and law, Haq emerges as a thought-provoking drama on how religious texts can be misinterpreted. It provokes questioning on religious and social equality, and for that alone, it needs to be watched."

"Made at a time when an insidious agenda can be read into it, Haq is an important film that deals with a contentious subject with maturity. Yami Gautam has played the challenging role with ease, never letting the dignity of Shazia slip, even when she is at the end of her tether. Hopefully, Haq will ignite some discussions as to how social attitudes might be changed."
