Haq Box Office Day 3: Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi starrer grows steadily, collects Rs 8.85 crore in India

Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi’s Haq continued its steady rise at the box office over the weekend, turning early skepticism into growing optimism. After a modest start on Friday, the film managed to convert positive word of mouth into a significant surge in collections, proving that solid content can still attract footfalls even without flashy promotions.

By the end of its opening weekend, Haq had brought in Rs 8.85 crore in India. The film opened at Rs 1.75 crore on Friday, nearly doubled its earnings to Rs 3.35 crore on Saturday, and added Rs 3.75 crore on Sunday. The sharp 91.43 percent growth between the first and second days signaled that audiences were responding well to its performances and storyline.

Crowds Swell Over the Weekend

The upward swing through Saturday and Sunday showed that Haq was slowly finding its audience. Evening shows were particularly strong, contributing heavily to the weekend total. According to industry estimates, the film recorded around 23.60 percent overall occupancy on Sunday, with morning shows at 9.54 percent, afternoons climbing to 24.56 percent, and a peak of 35.98 percent in the evening. Even night shows maintained a healthy 24.30 percent turnout, suggesting that viewer interest stayed steady throughout the day.

This pattern hints at an encouraging trend often seen with well-reviewed dramas that take a little longer to build traction. Trade experts note that Haq is benefiting from positive audience chatter and organic online discussions. Its courtroom setting, emotional depth, and strong performances have made it appealing to multiplex-goers across metros.

The Road Ahead for Haq

Produced at an estimated cost of Rs 40 crore, Haq is projected to need around Rs 24 crore from its theatrical run to cover its investment. With a promising weekend total of Rs 8.85 crore, it has already achieved a fair start toward that target. The coming weekdays will be crucial, as weekday drops will determine whether it sustains momentum or slows down.

The film now faces competition from De De Pyaar De 2, which releases this Friday and is expected to attract a wide audience base due to its franchise pull and family-centric appeal. If Haq manages to retain steady numbers despite the new release, it could emerge as a sleeper hit that thrives purely on word of mouth.

For now, Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi’s Haq stands as one of those rare mid-budget dramas that have found life through audience trust rather than marketing noise. Its early trend shows potential for a stable theatrical journey, provided it continues to hold its ground through the week.
