Immediately after the trailer launched for ‘Why Cheat India’, we believed that this was going to be a film to brag about!
We were to see Emraan Hashmi on the silver screen after a gap of 2 years with an entirely different look (which came as a surprise, tbh!).
Here is a story about educational scams in India, particularly in engineering and medical entrance exams. Emraan Hashmi plays the role of a con man who takes advantage of the infamous dealings of the academic world. He runs a business of hiring bright students to write proxy exams to forging fake certificates.

Reviews have started flooding in right from the beginning of the movie’s first-day first show. While many loved how the movie successfully brings out the large scam that our educational system is, many were disappointed by the second half which allegedly a letdown.
If you are wondering whether or not to include this movie in your weekend plans, we have 15 tweets to help you make the decision real quick!
#WhyCheatIndia is a adequately intriguing film told in a amusing manner, film raises a pertinent issue based on education system but somewhat it is let down by a tawdry writing & screenplay in 2nd half.@emraanhashmi delivers a knockout act,its his show all the way. Rating- ⭐️⭐️⭐️

#WhyCheatIndia
Everyone who watches this film is bound to be cheated.
A very good subject, but seems disjointed & unfortunately falls apart with poor script &
hopeless direction
Emraan Hashmi is the only silver lining in this extremely underwhelming film ⭐️⭐️ @realNipeshPatel— Rajiv Nanda (@bunny_nanda) January 18, 2019
#WhyCheatIndia, If you really care about our future generations, then you must watch this amazing movie. This movie is like mirror and shows us a ground reality of our education system. @emraanhashmi, thank you for this master piece💫✨🇮🇳.

A pacy drama about a scam artist who pulls off an examination scam, feeding off the aspirations of becoming engineers in a system that rewards grades. Watch it!
Kudos to the entire team!!#WhyCheatIndia is a stinging slap on educational policies!!#EmraanHashmi @emraanhashmi— Rohan (@rohanraj3636) January 18, 2019

#WhyCheatIndia is a confused & muddled film that can't decide whether it wants to be a social commentary or a caper. An important topic like the Country's Education & Examination system deserves a better film, just like a competent actor like @emraanhashmi does!

Captivating script— Dr.Wasif Quazi *( poet) (@quaziwasif) January 18, 2019
Just saw #WhyCheatIndia –@emraanhashmi is back with his 'Mast Andaaz' & highly charms you throughout the film..
The subject is majorly relatable & has been presented in engaging manner..
'A intriguing tour to the unseen world of Indian education..' (4/5) star
