Noor

This film is based on a book. It had got adapted in very amateurish way. Lots of voice over with boring inner monologues are used for establishing main female protagonist. It is typical way of a book to help readers to visualize character and surroundings. Geek type main lead then her ultra modern female friend who is just for an item song, single parent father, a cat, a maid and her sick brother, all sound good for novel but for film!!? Films need visual first then words. Establishment of main lead consumes 40 minutes of screen time of hardly two hours film. Just before interval you come to know that there is illegal kidney racket involvement too. This issue is very stale and this film approaches this issue in primitive way. Love scenes are first rate irritating. They misused a love song and partially a sad song for this!? A monologue about Mumbai in second half is mile stone of boring dialogues. Performance wise Sonakshi Sinha as Noor is very good. Her expressions are only relief. Kanan Gill as Saad is very irritating and they have given him long love track with main female lead. His expressions, looks and dialogue delivery make love scenes unbearable. Casting is notably bad.

Sweet Girl --- Sonakshi is a sweet Girl... not only sweet, cute also. In this movie you can see her cuteness on a big screen. Lovely girl... ohh coming back to movie-- Lover of romantic and crazy movies will really like this movie. but you also find Sonakshi doing action in this movie so girl doing action is also an interesting part of this movie.

Love you SOnakshi

Noor is actually a stupid film, which pretends to be an issue-based one. Sonakshi plays a journalist, but doesn't act or behave like one. She hates her life, but I wonder why. She lives in a decent house, has a caring father, a loving pet, a maid to do the house work n two best friends. Plus she is seduced by a good-looking n famous journalist. So what exactly is she cribbing about? The two guys, Purab n Kanan are good. The guy who dared to remix n butcher the song "gulabi ankhen", deserves a brutal kick in the groin. Rating 2/5.

If you are just looking for something mind-numbing then this is ok. An alcoholic columnist, full of self-pity wants to become a real journalist, yet, has no talent for it. Add to that Karan Gill's dead-pan acting skills and heavy accent and the movie becomes even more boring! London scenes are so stupidly enforced, just to show some chemistry between love-birds when Sonakshi takes off in the middle of a crisis without requiring a visa.

Overall it's rather pretentious, making it look like an issue-based movie, yet, that particular topic is completely overcast with useless emotions.

The only good thing in the whole movie (despite the minimum screen time) is the maid Malti.

Noor is Sonakshi Sinha's most confident movie till date. Her character Noor Roy Chaudhary is believable as an irresponsible journalist who messes up her first big chance of foraying into 'real journalism' only to make the most of her second one. The first-person narration does get to you at times. Actors Kanan Gill and Manish Chaudhary provide great support to Noor. Director Sunhil Sippy knows his city well and he makes the most of it by letting his camera  more around freely. The writing is laidback but funny and so is the screenplay which takes ample time to unravel. You feel as if you have seen everything but nothing. Overall, a nice movie with some really fine performances.
