Ever since the unveiling of the poster and teaser of the controversially titled Cheat India, the anticipation for the film has been mounting. The first Hindi movie to showcase the malpractices in the education system comes from the makers of Neerja, Tumhari Sulu and Raid, who are renowned for hand-picking bold, topical and relatable subjects.

While the film's trailer releases today, the makers previewed it to school and college students, who are not only the core audience for the film but the beneficiaries and victims of the country's fractured education system. Heads of student bodies and various past and present students from diverse age groups gave a resounding thumbs up to the trailer, as it connected with them instantly.
