Haraamkhor

Finally!!! This film got released; though, it has been released in a select few screens . 'Haramkhor' have an ambiguous start, an uneasy yet beautifully shot interval and an unexpected end. What is it about ? "In a small Gujarati town, a school teacher has more than an academic interest in one of his female students". Trust me, it is more complex than this and i won't spoil it. This film can be seen from the eyes and actions of characters. Characters are well written and played even better. Even small character as 'shaktiman' is well build. +1 for the character development because a few people can achieve that.

Shweta Tripahti - A big applaud for her. I never expected that she(actually anyone) could to do justice to the character. She is the big thing here, people. The issues her character is going and how she reacts to it reflects more about the real struggles(i won't spoil) of women( or young girls) in this country.

Nawaz - Honestly, most of the film collection(box office) is dependent upon him. He is superstar for independent film and his timing is perfect. Watch out for his humor to keep smile on your faces but soon you will realize why film is called 'HARAMKHOR'.

Irfan khan AND Mohd samad - They bliss this film with innocence and immaturity. A naive journey for love and brotherhood. They are undoubtedly one of the reason why this film is beautiful. I guess, they make casual audience feel more comfortable.

As a movie - The most important aspect of the film is how different things are falling in the places. The flaws that them more real.

As a motive - I cannot even begin to think how hard it was for the director put pieces in the places. Reasons being how sensitive our country is and how taboo is the topic. Kudos to Shlok Sharma for putting the thought and effort for putting forward the motive. It was definitely worth it!

Lastly, I have seen the censored version. I might have missed out some scenes.

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.

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.

Shlok Sharma's 'Haraamkhor' is a bold attempt, that works in parts. Actually it works when the supremely talented cast gets a chance to score. Otherwise, the film just goes on.

'Haraamkhor' Synopis: A sleazy teacher gets involved in a sexual relationship with his teenager girl student.

'Haraamkhor' is bold & realistic. And that's its plus, without doubt. But Shlok doesn't know where to go beyond a point. The sub-plot, involving 2 boys, one of whom is in love with the leading-lady, is funny, but gets monotonous after a point. And the final 20-minutes go haywire. Shlok begins the film very well & the laughs are pretty good in the first-hour, despite the perverse behavior of its despicable protagonist, but beyond that, it begins to falter. Shlok's Direction is good for sure, but the Writing isn't tight enough to hold your attention throughout.

Now coming to the performances! 'Haraamkhor' is a yet another triumph Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Nawaz is brilliant here, portraying a part so hard to like yet hard to snub. Right from his body-language to his expressions, Nawaz is a scene-stealer. Also in excellent form is the underrated Shweta Tripathi. Tripathi, 31, plays a 15 year old with innocence & charm. Both of the actors make 'Haraamkhor' memorable, with their effortless performances.

On the whole, 'Haraamkhor' gets lost mid-way, but the acting remains strong. Give it a chance.

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.
