In a season where movies with Political agendas are being overrated and hyped, I feel somehow the appreciation for "Why Cheat India" got heavily suppressed. It's a movie one of its kind, with a very different narrative showing the reality of admission process in our system, showing the chain of illegal and unethical ways to get through, but at the same time the movie neither labels it right nor wrong completely. The decision of deciding the rights and wrongs is very beautifully left for the audience. But yess, some scenes were placed in such a way that it was slightly difficult to understand as to what exactly is happening, for a person who has no knowledge about this skewed business. Emraan Hashmi has done pure justice to the character and has acted marvelously. In fact, it would not be wrong to say that the movie could have crashed badly if any other actor would have been casted for his role. Shreya is a fresh face in the movie with promising skills. Songs and music is nice. Overall I think it's a good Family movie with strong acting and fresh narrative. If not more, it can be watched once atleast.

Honestly speaking, the movie was not that great. The audience had a lot of curiosity for knowing about the great leader Balasaheb Thackrey and his thoughts, his principles. But the way it is shown, confuses the audience whether he supported only marathis or all Hindus or all Hindus plus Muslims. The movie is just a collection of events happened in his life without going in depths of his thoughts and work. His real thoughts could not be conveyed properly. The movie didn't show how did he accumulate funds to run his sangathan when he was not earning in his initial days. The movie felt slow with some scenes unnecessarily wanting to make you emotional. Almost half of the movie is in black and white which is not able to grasp the attention of audience. But yes, Undoubtedly, Nawazuddin has played the role perfectly.
