#MOVIEREVIEW – #NOOR (2017)

Sorry for the much delayed response friends. Today we are here with a review of one of the movies released this weekend namely NOOR (2017), directed by Sunhil Sippy with 
Sonakshi Sinha, Kanan Gill, Shibani Dandekar, Purab Kohli in the lead roles. Noor is based on Saba Imtiaz’s famous Pakistani Novel ‘Karachi, you are killing me!’

PLOT:

Noor Roy Choudhary is a 28 years old Junior Correspondent, working at a local news agency, aspiring to be like Barkha Dutt is screwed up with her routine stories that have no substance.

In personal life, she is living with her retired father, has two besties from childhood, Zara Patel (Shivani Dandekar), a DJ and Saad (Kannan Gill) and is in search of her dream man. In an accidental meeting, she met Ayananka Bannerjee (Purab Kohli), an ex-war reporter and falls for him.

She is disturbed with her life without a badly looking for a break in her career which she actually got when her household help Malti (Smita Tambe), unintentionally tells about her brother whose kidney was stolen by Dr. Shinde on pretext of stone removal.

When the Noor’s career was about to achieve heights, betrayal, heartbreak followed by threat calls pulls her down and she is forced to leave the country. Did Noor bounced back and exposed the nexus of illegal organ trade lies in the movie.

ANALYSIS:

The movie fails to show attract the viewer’s attention. Character of Noor has no knowledge of news gathering processes and doesn’t even behave like a Junior Correspondent. Her behaviour while shooting an interview is not suitable for an intern Journalist even. She discloses her source, what a glitch for a journalist. Moreover, her behaviour on personal front look too childish for a 28 years old.

This film can serve as a rule book for budding journalist highlighting what not to do during investigative journalism. Noor’s leaving country after getting life threat in the middle of a case is also not digestible.

WHAT’S GOOD:

Its hard to tell what is good in the movie. May be its Sonakshi in some scenes.

WHAT’S BAD:

A poor plot with poor representation of journalism.

STAR PERFORMANCES:

Sonakshi Sinha performed good in parts. Not her best performance. Kannan Gill also not looked good as hero. Purab Kohli is good and Smita Tambe, played her part as Noor’s household help with perfection.

Final words:

The movie is a poor representation of Investigative journalism. You may watch it for Sonakshi.

My ratings for this movie is 2 out of 5 stars.

So keep following the page, good day till the next review
