What happens

Haraamkhor (transl. Scoundrel) is a 2015 Indian Hindi-language romantic black comedy film directed by Shlok Sharma. It stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shweta Tripathi. Jasleen Royal was the film's music composer. The film was shot in just 16 days. In April 2017, an FIR was registered against director Shlok Sharma on a complaint by Balbharati, Maharashtra's textbook bureau, objecting to striking similarities between its logo and promotion scenes from Haraamkhor. Haraamkhor premiered at the 21st annual New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF) and the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA). Nawazuddin Siddiqui received the Best Actor award at the NYIFF.
