Haraamkhor Movie Review: The Twisted Love Story Keeps You Hooked With Impressive Performances!
Review by: Fimibeat
Critic ReviewRating: 6.0 / 10
Haraamkhor deals with a taboo subject and the theme may not be everyone's cup of tea. But that doesn't stop it from being a captivating watch for Sharma's skillful treatment and the superlative performances. Go for it if you are looking out for some escape from the usual stale crowd-pleasers!
Haraamkhor shows a lot of promise but ends up being way too vague

The jumpy narrative leaves a lot unanswered, making you feel indifferent towards the characters. It’s nice when a filmmaker leaves certain things to the audience’s interpretation but Shlok Sharma expects way too much from his unsuspecting viewer. It’s tiresome to fill in the blanks after a while. Those who have seen the film at a festival claim that a few scenes have been cut and what you get is a water-down version. Whatever the reason, they seem disconnected and that puts you off.
A gripping narrative with brilliant performances

See 'Haraamkhor' for its original and audacious content and for the way the debutant director extracts a gush of empathy from these bored characters even during their worst moments. Love, we always knew, as redemptive. But lust needn't be all that bad either.
Slow, but unexpectedly dark and intense

The biggest hiccup in the film is its slow pace. 'Haraamkhor' has good performances to watch but it won’t appeal to the masses. Since there are multiple big releases this Friday, pick this only if you are an ardent Nawazzudin Siddiqui fan or want to see an unconventional love story with a social message.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui excels in the creepiest role of his career

Haraamkhor is definitely not everyone’s cup thanks to its gritty subject. However it is not exactly a fantastic piece of art either, even though it had the potential to be one. But thanks to the spectacular performances of Nawazuddin, Tripathi and the kids, Haraamkhor can be an uncomfortable one-time watch.
A sordid tale told sensitively

Sandhya’s character is the most fleshed out, and Tripathi makes the most of her confused angry fifteen year old, seething with resentment and longing, looking for love. I found Siddiqui muted though, coming through only in a couple of scenes, telegraphing a randiness his character needed more of to be entirely credible. Trimala Adhikari, as Siddiqui’s wife, impresses: she is both sympathetic and suspicious, and rightly so.

Critic ReviewRating: 6.0 / 10
Haraamkhor starts off as a very enjoyable film that’s filled with funny situations, unique characters and an overall enjoyable aura. But in the second half the story seems to take unnecessary turns, slowing its pace down. It will still be a delight to watch for those who admire the genius that is Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

Haraamkhor shows a lot of promise but ends up being way too vague to be hard-hitting.
