is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language black comedy crime film written and directed by Soumik Sen.[4] It features Emraan Hashmi and Shreya Dhanwanthary in the lead roles.

Satyendra "Sattu" Dubey lives in a rented house in Kota, and is undergoing coaching for an engineering entrance exam.

Afterwards, he returns to his house in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh where he lives with his parents, elder sister Nupur Dubey, and his grandmother.

Rakesh Singh, also in the audience, refuses to vacate and gets into a fight, leading to him getting arrested alongside Sattu, who gets unintentionally involved.

Rakesh bails Sattu out, weans him off of drugs, and gives him a forged college degree alongside a charge to find work in Qatar, which he does.

Rakesh tells Nupur about his intention to forge her thesis paper, and a police inspector arrests him for forgery in what was revealed to be a sting operation.

"[14] Priyanka Sinha Jha of News18.com giving 3 stars out of 5 writes "Emraan Hashmi's shortcut to success is worth a watch.

"[15] Gaurang Chauhan of Times Now News criticised the film, writing "Why Cheat India has opened on a poor note at the box office.
