“With power in your hands, what would you do?” Consumed by hatred, man often takes the wrong path, away from God, and into evil ways to fulfil the insatiable need for destruction nurtured by hate. Human values are dishonoured and brotherhood forgotten. This is the message intended by HAQ, a film about the struggle of morality and the battle of inner values in the hands of two brothers with extraordinary powers, which will be shown in Malaysian cinemas starting 27 January 2011. 

HAQ is the action-packed story of two brothers gifted with special powers, one good and the other evil, who must either overcome or succumb to their own demons when they finally confront each other.  

Haq (Zul Huzaimy), the more caring and responsible of the two, was born with a gift of special powers, like his father. It is a gift nurtured and treasured by his family, used only when required. But when Haq fails to prevent his mother’s death in a road tragedy, he denies his gift and tries to bury it.

Bad (Adi Putra), who is greedy, impatient and ambitious, grew up as Haq’s neighbour, coveting Haq’s special powers. When Bad’s father dies, his family is adopted by Haq’s; making the two young men brothers. This makes Bad hate Haq even more and he runs away.

The years pass. Haq has turned into a businessman surpassed by none and loved by all. His tranquil life with his father is disrupted by the sudden appearance of a vengeful Bad, who has mysteriously acquired special powers of his own. Bad, motivated by greed, lust and hate, uses his abilities to amass wealth and power through murder, betrayal, seduction and treachery.

Bad uses his wiles to hurt the people closest to Haq. Haq has to rely on his suppressed powers to counter the damage caused by Bad. Bad succeeds in luring Haq into a situation where Haq has no choice but to confront Bad in a spectacular final showdown that pits each man against the other in a battle of super power and might. 

Will the reluctant Haq succeed in realising the potential of his gift and protecting his loved ones or will the hatred burning inside Bad consume everything in his path? For both men, the power is in their hands, the choice is theirs.
