[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.

After school, Shyam visits Sandhya's home to have some documents notarized by her father, who is a local police inspector.

On her way home, Sandhya falls, injures her knee, and goes to Shyam's house, where his wife, Sunita, cares for her and lets her stay with them for the night.

It is revealed that Sandhya's mom abandoned her as a child, and her father has started dating someone new but was waiting for the right time to tell her.

One month later, Sandhya tells Shyam that she missed her period, so they make a secret trip to the city.

The soundtrack of Haraamkhor consists of just one song, "Kidre Jaawan", which was composed by Jasleen Royal and the lyrics of which were written by Aditya Sharma.

Shweta Tripathi is in good form as the confused, ignored young teenager who can’t help making all the wrong choices.

[14] Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times praised the film saying that, "Brave and original, Haraamkhor walks the razor’s edge.

However, Haraamkhor is one film you just shouldn’t miss, even if it’s just to see how Hindi cinema is exploring new themes with finesse."
