A Global Green Signal for a Bold, Uncompromised Film
Mumbai, 4 November 2025: As anticipation builds for its worldwide release on 7th November 2025, Junglee Pictures’ courtroom drama HAQ has achieved a major milestone — receiving unanimous clearance from censors in India, the UAE, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, all without a single cut.
The film, starring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, has been certified U/A 13+ in India, PG-15 in the UAE, and PG in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, reflecting its balanced storytelling and global relevance. This “no cuts” verdict across multiple certification boards is being celebrated as a strong validation of HAQ’s sensitive yet fearless approach to its subject matter.
Inspired by a Landmark Supreme Court Judgment
HAQ is inspired by a historic judgment of the Honourable Supreme Court of India and delves deep into issues of family, faith, gender equality, and justice. Set against the backdrop of the Uniform Civil Code under Article 44 of the Indian Constitution, the film examines the intersection of law, religion, and identity, through the lens of a powerful human story.
The narrative follows a mother’s courageous fight for her and her children’s rights under Section 125 of the CrPC, turning a deeply personal struggle into a universal quest for equality and fairness. The film’s ability to secure certification without any cuts across global boards highlights its integrity, balanced voice, and commitment to authentic storytelling.
A Stellar Cast and a Visionary Director
Directed by Suparn Verma, HAQ features Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam in lead roles, supported by an accomplished ensemble including Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady. The film also marks the debut of Vartika Singh, who plays a pivotal role in the narrative.
Known for his nuanced direction, Suparn Verma crafts HAQ as a thought-provoking blend of legal drama and emotional depth, exploring issues like Triple Talaq, gender parity, and constitutional rights through a compelling human story.
Continuing Junglee Pictures’ Legacy of Socially Resonant Cinema
Written by Reshu Nath, HAQ continues Junglee Pictures’ proud tradition of producing impactful, socially conscious films that challenge conventions while engaging audiences. The production house’s previous successes — including Raazi, Talvar, Badhaai Ho, and Badhaai Do — have set a high standard for cinema that balances entertainment with empathy and insight.
With HAQ, Junglee Pictures once again reaffirms its commitment to telling stories that matter — stories that reflect the evolving fabric of modern India while sparking dialogue on justice, equality, and human rights.
Worldwide Release on 7th November 2025
Following its “no cuts” certification across five major markets, HAQ is set for a simultaneous global release on 7th November 2025.
With a blend of powerful performances, socially charged themes, and universal emotional resonance, the film is poised to emerge as one of the year’s most significant cinematic events, upholding the spirit of truth, courage, and the enduring quest for justice.
