Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi starrer Haq has hit the theatres today, after the petition against the film dismissed by the Madhya Pradesh High Court.

This film is inspired by the Shah Bano Begum’ case, whose daughter Suddiqua Begum Khan, approached the court against the movie with allegations of distorted personal events that took place in her mother's life.

She also argued that the film was made without taking consent from Bano's family or her legal heirs, and demanded a stay on the film’s release.

According to Bar And Bench, the court quashed the petition, saying, “Privacy or reputation earned by a person during his or her lifetime extinguishes with his or her death. It cannot be inherited like a movable or immovable property."

The Court agreed with the filmmaker’s claim that the movie is only inspired by the Supreme Court case, and has been fictionalised, which is also described in the disclaimer of the film.

The Court said, "Since the disclaimer itself states that the same is dramatization and is fictional and an adaptation of a book and is inspired by a judgment of the Apex Court, it cannot be said that the contents of the film are fabricated. 

Since the film is an inspiration and a fiction, some amount of leeway is certainly permissible and merely because the same is done, it cannot be said that there has been any sensationalisation or false portrayal."

This film revolves around the story of Shah Bano Begum, a Muslim woman who, after getting a divorce, filed a criminal suit in the Supreme Court of India and won the right to alimony from her ex-husband.

Critics called Haq a hard-hitting, emotional film featuring some amazing performances and a treat for Yami Gautam's fans.
