Background
The opening day collection of Haq is quite similar to Vivek Agnihotri's The Bengal Files, which made Rs 1.75 crore on its first day. At the end of its theatrical run, Agnihotri's film made only Rs 16 crore.
For Emraan Hashmi, this is his next release after Tejas Vijay Deoskar's Ground Zero, which only earned Rs 6.7 crore at the box office during its run.
The film opened at Rs 1.15 crore. For Yami Gautam, her last release, Article 370, was a success at the box office as it managed to earn Rs 77 crore at the box office during its run.
The film opened with Rs 5.9 crore. It is yet to be seen if Haq can follow the footsteps of Article 370.
Directed by Suparn Varma, the cast of the film includes Emraan Hashmi, Yami Gautam, Sheeba Chaddha, Aseem Hattangady, and Danish Hussain.
