Nawazuddin Siddiqui has proved himself as one of the most versatile actors of Bollywood industry. The actor has worked in some highest grossing movies as well as few, art or parallel cinema movies. The last movie of the actor in the leading role was Freaky Ali, which did average business at the box office. Now, the actor has come up with another interesting drama film “Haraamkhor”. Story Haraamkhor is a Hindi drama movie set in rural India. The story of the movie revolves around a school teacher “Shyam” played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Basically, the movie shows the love affair of teacher and his student Sandhya (played by Shweta Tripathi). In the movie Shyam, a married man starts having an affair with his student. Here, there is a teenage student named Kamal, who has also crush on Sandhya. He hates the teacher and also believes that if Sandhya sees him naked, he is married to her. The story of the movie looks weird, but it is already an unconventional movie. Performance Nawazuddin Siddiqui has given the stupendous performance as a school teacher; he played the teacher’s character to the perfection. Shweta Tripathi has justified her character as a student. The chemistry of both characters also looks good. Rests of the supporting cast have also given a good performance. Direction The direction of Shlok Sharma is decent; he conveys his story quite decently, but there are some shots that felt boring.  It is a good movie, which shows some of the regular stuff that happens in the society. But it could have been presented well, as sometimes it felt that the director was stretching the story. Camera work of the movie feels bit amateur, there are lots of shots with moving camera, which is simply not good according to me. Music Music of Haraamkhor has been composed by Jasleen Royal. The music suits the movies, but won’t find any good song. The song of the movie is not that good, but if we consider the theme the composer has done a good job. There is not a single mainstream song in the movie. Why to watch If you are a fan of the unconventional movie, you can go to watch this film. The performance of Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shweta Tripathi is the main highlight of the movie. If you are a diehard fan of the actor, then only you can handle this movie.
