After slumdog millionaire this is the movie about street kids and their life
Very sharp direction and camera work with good background score the language was well maintained as per the requirements and the kids artists played their role in a perfect way thus giving that dust effect
The climax was extraordinary and gave a good moral of the movie
Worth watching the content about identity

A never seen before Emraan Hashmi, two wonderful debuts and a good story
cseabhi21 January 2021
Harami is the story exposing the underbelly of street life in Mumbai. Featuring never seen before Emraan Hashmi, the new commer Rizwan Shaikh and others, this movie strikes the right chord.
It's a story of a pickpocketer Rizwan Shaikh who develops a conscience after one of his target commits suicide on a railway track. He then helps his daughter Uma(Dhanshree Patil) and slowly starts loving her.
With a gripping storyline and good direction, we get to see some truly heartfelt performances in this movie. Emraan Hashmi playing as a crime boss delivers one of his best performances till date. Most of the cast who plays pickpocketers are debuting and delivers natural performances.
Rizwan Shaikh and Dhanshree Patil actually are the leads of the story and they look good together.
Overall Harami is a well made movie, which can be watched at least once.

After a long seen a very good piece of art. Awesome story telling, writing, screenplay and the lead character does a fantastic job.
would definitely recommend to those who love good cinema. If you are a masala movies fan please don't watch it you surely not gonna like it.
Great work.!!

A desperate search of Indentity comes with an intelligent narrative and a few contradictions.

Harami (2020) :
Movie Review -
Harami is surprisingly good at many levels and certainly far better thinking than any other bollywood of 2020. When you see the trailer you get the Idea that this is not going for any common story which can relate everybody like rich and middle class people but it is mainly for lower class and to bring the change in their mindsets. This pickpocket gang theme is not new and the struggle, perspective and making choice things are mainstream too but Harami deals with it smartly. And smart enough to make it worth one time watch.
Harami is about a boy named '55', yes he doesn't have a name he's called by number '55'. Since he doesn't have his own identity he likes to discover other people's identity through stolen ID cards and sneaking into their rooms after the pickpocket gang is done with them. He desires to create his identity and one incident forces his inner soul to act against Gang's rules and then how it changes his life is all you get to see in Harami. The writing has a meaning and definitely behaves intelligently at many occassions. However, there are few scenes where it fails and those scenes are completely unacceptable. But most of the time it remains intellegent and watchable.
In acting department Harami is like a blessed child. Each and every actor has given the best possible efforts for the character. From child artists to senior actors (cameos) everyone plays his part with conviction and passion. Music is hardly there and that's a good thing because that's why in 99 minutes Harami never looks boring. The screenplay is engaging and busy but has some flaws in writing. May be little more useful scenes and out of the box thinking would have made Haami a Great film. It is set in realistic zone so dialogues are abusisve and vulgar but thats not a big issue as far as you know the definition of Realistic cinema mostly needs such stuff. Well, that's a warning bell if you're thinking to watch it with your family, please do not.
Shyam Madiraju's direction skills are excellent in Harami. His fine knowledge about cinematic frames, cuts, scene-making and capturing the essence of the content are definitely impressive. Still, there is something less in Harami which the same amazing director failed to understand, hence, making it half intelligence and half dumb. Well that means you have to ignore that silly portion to enjoy the rest of the brilliant narrative. Overall, Harami is fine attempt made at a small issue but enough intelligent to give you satisfying show. Little mistakes here and there yet a Good Film that should be watched at least once.
RATING - 6/10*

Decent, but could have been better
jeeves-6670519 December 2020
A great attempt to showcase the reality of a young man's life as a pick-pocket and wanting a change from that life. Something still felt like it was missing, though, and the story wasn't given enough time to develop with a quick ending that maybe should have been extended further. The script felt it was nicely done and the dialogue between the characters was hammered to be precise, but the delivery of some of the main cast could have been improved. There were some elements of a raw realism infused with a bit of clichéd romance/typical choice of words in some parts of the film. With those things in mind it is still overall a great production.
A perfect example of why Bollywood doesn't work
Akhandbhartiya22 December 2020
This movie is a perfect example of why Bollywood has become a Pakistan sponsored business. Movie is in Hindi language but when they want to show anything bad about Hindus, the movie suddenly shifts to English. The story in itself is okay but this movie is about how you can hate Hindus at a subconscious level. If I knew this before I watched the movie, I would not have watched it.

Its name should be identity.

Warning: Spoilers
Story of a urchin, who has his own principles, at a place where such principles hardly exists. Called by a number(provided by this master) as he is a orphaned, so always thrived for this identity.
Being a pickpocket, he visits the victims place to adjudge the damage made to them by his work, after his working hours . Course takes a turning point in the form of death of one of his victim and he takes the responsibility to dampens the damage, for which he is equally responsible. The story progresses, and finally in the end he has his own identity.
Kudos to acting to all actors, it is not meant for the audience, who want complete entertainment but depicts perfectly the shady side of our civilized society.
