A battle of rights

Based on real-life events, ‘Haq’ examines how legal battles intersect with societal judgment and personal resilience.

When a pressure cooker is not working to its full capacity, what does a normal person do? Fixing it is the right answer, but the character Abbas Khan in ‘Haq’ replaces it as if it’s completely useless. This small detail does not seem noticeable at first when Abbas’s wife, Shazia Bano, enters her new home after marrying. But it entails how Shazia’s fate is going to treat her, even worse than the pressure cooker’s.
