Why Cheat India, the makers tell us, is a hybrid of fact and fiction. This blend \u2013 maybe we should call it faction \u2013 seems to have become Bollywood\u2019s favourite genre. Think of Uri, Padman, Sanju, Raazi, Raid and so many others. These films want both \u2013 the authenticity and heft of fact with the dramatic possibilities of fiction. It\u2019s tough to do and many directors topple. In Why Cheat India, Soumik Sen manages to stay standing for some time. Subtlety is not his strength but in his own, heavy-handed way, Soumik creates a reasonably engaging first hour. Ultimately however, he can\u2019t resist the lure of full-blown, blaring background music, suspense via split screens and giving his star Emraan Hashmi a speech from the pulpit about how the system forces him to be corrupt.
