Haraamkhor

After eagerly waiting and then watching the movie, I must say I am disappointed. Firat of all, take caution this movie is not for everyone, certain scenes may disturb you. Now coming to the movie, I went in expecting a dark film like 'Ugly' and it was based on a strong issue but the story line, screenplay and editing was too average to pull this off. The story is strong in parts but for the most part it is wayward and never completely addresses what it tries to tell. Character depth is what i missed the most and many things had to be inferred but those were never that straight nor they were addressed, it was open to interpretation and that somehow weakened the plot. I was most disappointed by the end, because after interval the end was quite clear and I so so wanted to be proved wrong but the same thong happened but with a worse context and it made me very upset.

Performances would be difficult to judge since there never was the depth but on a scene by scene basis, the performances were quite strong,. Nawqz Bhai was completely on character and never missed a beat. Shweta Tripathi too did a great job To conclude, As a debut directorial this is a commendable work

Haraamkhor- Movie explores a bold subject in an interesting way....but somewhere fails to hold interests levels throughout. However, its enjoyable in parts and what really makes it watchable is the terrific performance of nawaazuddin. He gives us some real Lol moments in the film which any other actor couldn't have been able to deliver with the same timing...the female lead played by shweta tripati does well...never knew she is a 31 year old lady playing a 15 year old gal in the film.. .not bad.. The screenplay is bit sloppy and few of the scenes involving the 2 little prankster boys should have been chopped off.. .its intended to bring in humour but felt over the top and unnecessary at some places... Overall this film can be given a try for the different kind of subject it offers.

I was pleasantly surprised to have seen this film; one in which Sharma really shows his Shakespearean writing chops. We're thrown into a small village in India, where word gets around very quickly and everyone knows everyone. I'll leave my summary so far as to say that a relationship develops between the main characters and the character development does the rest.

Coming in at a very snappy 90 minutes, the film does a lot with very little. Character development is pretty solid, although you could guess where each character is going to be at the end of the film. A few small twists don't change the fact that the story feels very very classic. Shakespearean is the right word to describe it; some quotes from Shakespeare even make the final cut of the film. The dramatic sequences are broken up by moments of comic relief - a very theatrical move that I don't see often in such dramatic film. The dialogue is solid, with no major gaffs at all. The plot makes sense and the characters, although driven by their own desires, are largely smart in their decision making. These are all positives.

But I think perhaps the dedication to a kind of tragedy limits the potential of this film. For example, there are numerous scene cuts in which the audience must make the mental leap in plot from the last scene to the current one. The sheer amount and sometimes the size of these leaps can be quite disorienting. Furthermore, it does seem a little lazy. There are some moments in this leap that I'm sure the audience would have loved to witness. Alas. Soundtrack is quite weak although it doesn't hinder the narrative too much. But if I have one major gripe with the film, it is that the final climax of the movie seems to be based on a major plot hole. This is not to say I don't believe it could happen (sure it could), but that I don't quite believe in the motivations behind it.

In any case, the film was extremely solid and did its best with the tools that were laid out in front of it. I would have liked to seem more of the development of the relationship so as to make the audience more invested, and perhaps a more sensical closing to the film. The film falters only because of some core elements of how the story was structured, although everything in between was done quite well.

The way of showing the story was very engaging. The characters of shyam's friend and Shyam was well scripted. Actions of every character in the film were thoroughly justified. Nawaz was phenomenal as always. Shweta tripathi who played the role of sandhya in the film also did a great job. The way, the relationship was shown between sandhya and her teacher was flawless in my view. At the end, i also had started to think that how they are going to end the story, the way they did it was really good. Angles of shots and scenes shot completely fit in the story. Keep making this kind of movies. Thanks for making it. Will cherish it for many more days.

Nawazuddin is so hyped and it makes me laugh when I read interviews from him saying he wants to different roles. Just because someone's looks are not cut out for mainstream cinema doesn't mean he is a fine / versatile actor. The fact that good performances are so few in Bollywood, actors like Nawaz get undue adulation, just on the basis of them being off beat. He is a fine actor and he owns the part of Shyam , but he is the same and it feels like there is no difference in the acts of mountain-man/Raees police officer/raman raghav.
