Yami Gautam is currently gearing up for the release of his next movie, Haq. While the film will hit theatres on Friday, November 7, a special screening of the movie was held in Mumbai on Wednesday. Among others, Yami and her husband, filmmaker Aditya Dhar, also attended the screening.

Yami and Aditya were seen arriving together at the screening. While the actress sported a green saree and looked elegant, her husband looked charming in a black formal attire. The couple, who tied the knot in June 2021 and are parents to a son, were seen holding hands and flaunting their smiles as they posed for the paparazzi. A video of the same has also surfaced on social media. Watch it here:

What Does Haq Revolve Around?

Haq is a courtroom drama inspired by the famous 1985 Supreme Court decision in Mohd. Ahmed Khan vs. Shah Bano Begum. Suparn S. Varma directs the film, which is inspired by the real-life Shah Bano case and follows Yami as a Muslim woman fighting for maintenance rights in court after her divorce. In addition to Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, the film features Sheeba Chaddha and Vartika Singh in key roles.

News18 Showsha gave Haq a 4-star rating. “Watch Haq for its storytelling, nuance and performances. Narrative depth is one of its strongest suits and it refuses to oversimplify or collapse a complex debate into a convenient hero-villain binary. Here, all parties are treated with a lot of humaneness, including the other woman in Shazia and Abbas’ dynamic. Haq is quietly provocative and insists on conversations, and that’s what makes it a winner. With an epiphany-like impact, the film ends with Shazia whispering ‘iqra’, thus quietly imparting a lesson to the fanatic world to read and learn before picking up a battle,” a part of our review read.
