Haraamkhor (transl. Scoundrel) is a 2015 Indian Hindi-language romantic black comedy film directed by Shlok Sharma.[3][4][5] It stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shweta Tripathi.[6][7] Jasleen Royal was the film's music composer. The film was shot in just 16 days.[8]

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.[9]

Haraamkhor premiered at the 21st annual New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF)[10][11] and the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA). Nawazuddin Siddiqui received the Best Actor award at the NYIFF.[12]
