Critic Review
Noor (2017)NOOR is slice of life Bollywood drama which tells the tale of a journalist’s adventures and misadventures while navigating her way through the city of Mumbai. The film starts off with the narrative introduction of Noor (Sonakshi Sinha) and her near and dear ones which includes her father (Maharaj Krishen Raina), her buddy Saad (Kanan Gill), her best friend Zara (Shibani Dandekar), her boss Shekhar (Manish Chaudhari) and her maid Malti (Smita Tambe). Noor, who works as a journalist in Shekhar’s office handles a show ‘Mumbai’s Believe It Or Not’. Not the one to be satisfied with that, she repeatedly applies for a job at the prestigious CNN only to be rejected each time. Life continues to be full of downs and ups (in that order) for the ‘never-satisfied-with-life’ Noor. One day, when her maid Malti resumes work after a 4-day holiday, Noor discovers something shocking about her and her brother, which changes everyone’s life forever. What is the shocking incident which changes everyone’s lives and how does Noor cope up with the same is what forms the rest of the story. - See more at: http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/noor/critic-review/#sthash.J4mNMnAo.dpuf.
Noor has its flaws, and it certainly isn’t this year’s Queen, if you really want to get into comparison mode. But Noor still manages to endear to you with its light-hearted, fresh treatment and Sonakshi Sinha’s winning performance, if you don’t at.
Noor does not understand journalism, it fails to establish enough angst for the protest it hopes to ignite, it stops being the rom-com (the one thing that the movie was getting right) pretty soon and it does not give the victims enough time for us to empa.
Noor is all fit and nimble - as if that is still what counts. And, hey, maybe it is. One of her first complaints is that her weight in kilograms outnumbers her follower-count on Twitter. That, dear readers, is Noor's first sigh..
Noor's life that way is meant to mirror the urbane, liberal, progressive, metropolitan upper middle-class. As for her work, as I said, there are several colleagues in my newsroom who have stories like hers, if not better, and might actually want to make t.
The actors all do their job, though. Especially Sonakshi who brings a vulnerability to her looking-for-herself persona. There’s a delicious passage between her and the one-who-might-be-the-one, where the back-and-forth dialogue is pitch-perfect and beau.
