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.

Cinematography done by Keiko Nakahara is commendable along with Amaal Malik's refreshing tunes but an overall opportunity completely gone wasted.

Journalism can be an evil activity as long as you know when it is the right time to expose somebody. So basically this is true story based movie but with a different name and city.
Honestly, the trailer did put some interest to my excitement for this film making me think that this could be the comeback for Sonakshi Sinha. But when I saw this, I felt like y expectations just went down the drain.
So the movie focuses on a broadcast journalist named Noor Roy Choudhury who lives a cringe- worthy life that involves being overweight, expecting some bad luck when it involves work such as getting to an interview with Sunny Leone who makes an appearance in the film all soaked by the Mumbai rain, and getting reprimands from her boss which in addition includes having a broken geyser in her house and pressuring her maid to fix it. Basically when Noor tries to expose a piece of news, it becomes a war for Mumbai that results in the death of her Maid's brother who was the victim in the exposure of the news resulted by her photographic boyfriend named Ayaan that she got duped by. Basically what Noor does to fix this matter and to try hard to expose the doctor involved in the maid's brother's departure is basically what this film is about.
I'll put the positive differences aside but this movie is quite frankly a drag like the informational factors in this movie are as low as if Anubhav Sinha or as if the director of Roy was making this.
The writing elements are terrible like clearly this was supposed to be a movie about a journalistic hero but this movie really tried hard. The humor in this movie was rather sluggish and really didn't fit the part for this movie. The dialogues in the movie are cheesy with such one-liners like I hate my life or becoming daily savitri to tedhi savitri.
The acting in this movie was average at best. I am almost thinking that every film Sonakshi is doing involves scripts that could just put her career down the drain. She is not a bad actress but her roles like these will just familiarize yourself on already seeing her previous film roles like Lootera or Dabangg which means that she just couldn't really leave her comfort zone.
Kaman Gill (not the one from Phillauri) did make me laugh when I saw his comedy stand ups on Youtube but his acting in the movie was something I didn't like seeing especially when it came to his dialogues.
Purab Kohli in my opinion gave a performance that was slightly better than what he did in Rock On 2 but he was okay which did give me the enjoyment.
Shibani Dandekar is rarely an actress and more than a money maker and that is what she did for her part as Zara Patel.
The music is highly average at best. Gulabi 2.0 is a decent soundtrack but Uff Yeh Noor is too crass and something you shouldn't include in your loop listening playlist.
The direction and cinematography in the movie is a saving grace especially the editing which makes the film very well paced and very creative. Good job Keiko Nakahara who also did commendable work for Mary Kom.
Overall, this was one movie I really couldn't stand based on its horrible writing and average acting but the good cinematography and music saved it but no one is really going to spend 35 AED just to watch it for these 2 positives. Poor is worth watching but on a T.V broadcast but for more-goers a one-time watch can be counted if you want to learn cinematography and music composition only for Gulabi 2.0.
2.5/5- Journalism is a dogs house.

My sisters dragged me to watch this movie. Needless to say, this movie is extremely painful. It's a pathetic attempt at being a movie and jumbles between genres with over the top dialogues that fall flat every time.
It starts off with narration. And within the first 10 minutes, the lead/narrator admits that she has a habit of speaking/talking a lot. And as a matter of fact. SHE DOES. Her painful expositions and talks to herself as an attempt to narrate is annoying at best, and fever- inducing at worst. She keeps it up for a good half an hour before pausing to take breaks. Guess she was tired of all the talking.
The light-hearted jokes that are meant to amuse make you roll your eyes. You do get a few smiles here and there and that's it.
She and her friends bask in a glory of binge drinking at seemingly expensive clubs and bars more than a few times. She owns an iPhone (seemingly the latest model around the time the movie was shot) and a MacBook (possibly Air?) And her dad owns a fat cat. Still, she manages to pity herself for being "poor".
She keeps putting herself down and has an extremely low image of herself. Right from the start. And considers herself to be "FAT", even though every time she weighs herself it comes out to be 65 KGs, which, according to me, is NOWHERE near fat. I mean, any lesser pounds, and on her body, she'd look malnourished/underweight. But for some reason, the writers never failed to make note of her "fat" body for the entire duration of the movie.
Despite having a low opinion of herself throughout the movie, her best friend seems to be completely sure of the fact that she is not being herself when she puts herself down for what she did and feels guilty for the same (I'm not going to "spoil" it) Even the characters are confused about themselves and each other. How brilliant.
Put in a little bit of romance, after the supposed comedy drama bits, and you've got a love story. Then there's the heartbreaks, and the "oh so unexpected, and tragic" betrayals, and a big fat case of corruption and the movie reaches the interval.
Yes, it tumbles through genres and stumbles on its way to the mid- point. It was the second day of the release of this crap fest, and only 10-20 percent of the people showed up to watch it. After the interval, the number reduced to less than half the original.
I stayed throughout, and kept blabbing various sarcasms and witty one- liners to myself and one of my sisters to try to make it bearable. It really helped. It's what I do when I'm forced to sit with my mother when she is watching any daytime soap. And honestly, it DOES help.
My favorite part was when the movie ended, because that meant I could stop yawning and ACTUALLY go home and sleep on a proper bed.
My rating? 2/10
The only point I'm giving is for the attempt, because COME ON, even if it's a crap fest, people worked to make this. And anyway, some of the shots were REALLY beautiful. So cinematography was good, I must say.
(I always look for silver linings!)
So, my advice? AVOID THIS ONE AT ALL COSTS. This is the kind of a flick you'll regret watching even if you're being paid to do so.

Fails to shine even for a moment
dineshprakash21 April 2017
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.
Waste of time
sharengon13 April 2020
The topic of organ trafficking is a good topic and a very serious issue in the world. However this movie did not even come close to doing justice to this topic. First of all, the third class acting of sonakshi Sinha is painful to watch. She does not resemble a journalist at all. The movie doesn't get to the organ trafficking part until the second half of the movie. The first part is about the journalist which has nothing to do with organ trafficking at all. The organ trafficking was just a lure to make it seem like Bollywood is doing something different, when noor is like every typical masala Bollywood film.
ULTRA BAD

Got a headache after watching this crap.Sonakshi sinha is trying too hard to fit in the role and bored the hell out of us. first 1.30 hrs were all crap where she is just trying to figure out herself or her shitty life, and in last 30 minutes or so she decide to work on such a critical topic and problems in Mumbai and other states of our country. I mean SERIOUSLY!!!! Useless, worthless, yuck movie.
Its a good movie

Its a good movie. A nice one time watch. If you don't get too emotional, too patriotic, too possessive about where the story is from and blah blah then the movie is good to watch with a cup of tea. Good direction and good job done by Sonakshi. She has evolved as an actress and has done fantastic work with weight loss and her acting skills. Overall I liked the story, direction and the acting delivery by all stars. Specially the character Shekhar was very good with the focus on him being a coach !
Ode to a narcissistic person
jyoti10208 January 2019
A sad attempt at a Bridgette Jonesesque movie without the comedy. What an embarrassingly narcissism apologist movie. 3 hours devoted to a snobby, sloppy, selfish peterpan character that all her friends and family keep making excuses for. Her refusal to grow up & her constant negativity is supposed to be cute? Who thought making this movie is a good idea?
An honest and true movie
bsumit8922 October 2017
Are you kidding me? 3.8 out of 10 for this movie? I pity the audience who watched this move throughout, wasted both their time and money and are now cribbing for having done that. They should rather have put their money on a main stream Bollywood flick which would have been as per their mental intake capability.
Yes this movie could have been directed much better or the side characters could have acted much better. But in spite of all that I would sin if I wouldn't add that this is an true move with an honest attempt to MAKE A POINT! Sadly most of our Bollywood masala movies lack this basic ingredient.
May be not a 10 but this is one of the best Bollywood movies I watched this year. After Lootera this is the only movie in which I liked Sonakshi. In fact I have started respecting her for having acted in this movie, and having done that so brilliantly.
Kanan Gill was good but could have done it better, but isn't this is his first movie? Shibani Dandekar had very little screen time but she is gorgeous! Manish Chaudhary is in general a good actor and he has done what he does usually, played his part very well.
So guys if you want to watch a meaningful movie with some actual content and story, please watch this movie.

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.
worst movie of the year
aruncmsgn25 April 2017
This was such an awful movie to watch. that actress doesn't even know how to act she just wants to show that she is so cool and acts in woman oriented movies .Don't waste your time for this crap movie .I would rather suggest u to throw your money in a drain rather than wasting by buy this movies tickets. This fatty knows only to do overacting and wants to sing with her manly and loud noise which

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.

Tale of quarter-life crisis with unrealistic dosage of ethics
mishrashruti23 April 2017
Director Sunhil Sippy seems unplanned while directing the movie as he loses focus and gets confused on what the film should be all about. In an attempt to emphasize on the moral responsibilities of a journalist and the rising organized crimes in India, he lost Noor which could have been a flawless entertainment and a self-reflecting movie for today's youth who is facing quarter-life crisis. The first half of the movie is a fun-filled insight into the life of Noor and is the soul of the movie. Here we meet this ambitious lady who won't settle down for anything immaterial, be it on professional front or her personal life. The script gets serious in the later part of the movie where she accidentally bumps into a racket. The chaos in the movie could have been avoided if illegal activities of the state were not involved just for the sake of highlighting and not with an intention of working towards the change.
Strength: Sonakshi Sinha who very comfortably steps into the shoes of Noor.
Weakness: The over-exhaustive plot. Dialogues, which at several occasion seems unnatural and for the sake of adding moral take-away.

Warning: Spoilers
Noor is a blatantly horrific attempt at capturing the life of a journalist. The protagonist Noor played by Sonakshi Sinha, is busy checking her weight, drinking at expensive pubs, yapping for extensive lengths of time. Oh! And also feeling dumb for not having a GUY in her life! The icing on the cake is that she is a university topper. I wonder how that happened, because she is far from being a journalist. Then comes an opportunity in her life when she could prove that she might have a chance at journalism and she screws it to the core. Then she tweets..oops sorry! She posts on Facebook and VOILA! The world changes its opinion on Noor and Noor has a different perspective on everything now. Noor is a successful journalist and gives interviews, autographs, photographs blah blah blah. I do not even want to comment on the dialogues in this movie. And in every scene, it seems like she has mugged up the dialogues and just recited them before a hall full of people. End of Story. There goes a few hundred bucks, wasted on this awful movie.

I have wasted my two hours in watching this pathetic movie. Even it is not called a movie no climax no thrill. I think big Star should not work such type of movies. So we could not waste our time as well as money.
Recently: Sonakshi(Noor) , Arjun Kapoor and Sharhada( Half Girlfriend) don't work in these type of films learn from your senior in choosing scripts.

Noor is a One-time watch, Sonakshi shines but the film falters
binducherungath23 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Noor is a film by Sunhil Sippy. This film is based on the book "Karachi – You are Killing Me" by Saba Imtiaz. The film's plot had tremendous potential but the movie does get lost in the midway. It starts as if it is focused on Noor's journey, but later, it shifts to focus on many issues viz. the shallowness attached with today' journalism, organ trafficking, how ethics and humanity are dying in the world, environmental issues, how unsafe the cities have become etc. This is where the film also becomes shallow, lacks depth. In spite of Sonakshi portraying the titular character very well, the film is unable to adopt a focused approach to storytelling. But certainly, it is a feel-good film.
The eponymous character Noor is played by Sonakshi. As her name implies (Noor means 'Light') she is seeking light/brightness in her professional as well as personal life. She starts her day with the statement 'I hate my Life'. She keeps whining about everything in her life: a faulty geyser, her domestic help Malti's (Smita Tambe) frequent leave, priority given to her cat Dimpy by her father, her weight gain, her twitter followers less in number than her weight, not excited in doing regular stuff, irritation on being asked to interview celebrities like Sunny Leone etc. She is a topper in Journalism and interested in doing issue-based Journalism, but her boss Shekhar (Manish Chaudhary) keeps drifting her attention to the topics which attract TRPs. Noor is not too happy with her personal life too. She does miss love in her life. Her friends Zaara (Shibani Dandekar) and Saad (Kanan Gill) do pep up her life. She has support system at home in her father (played my MK Raina) and her housemaid Malti. Noor meets Ayan Banerjee (Purab Kohli), a journalist cum photographer and falls in love with him.
Situations so happen that Noor gets 'the story' which she was looking for. She does cover the story, but that changes her life forever. It becomes a learning point for her that as a journalist, she just can't get carried away but she needs to be responsible too. What happens thereafter? What story does Noor get to handle? What events transpire after that? How does Malti become an important thread of the story? What shape does Noor's relationship with Ayan take? How Zaara, Saad and Noor's father support her during a crisis? Does Shekhar ever agree with Noor's desire of doing issue-based journalism and what support he extends?
Sonakshi enacts Noor very well and she is very much likable in the film. Her style statement is also appropriate as per the character. Kanan Gill who makes his film debut with Noor is natural and spontaneous. MK Raina does play his role of an empathetic, supportive father very well. Shibani Dandekar as Zaara has small role, but she is also good. Smita Tambe is very much noticeable and good as Malti.
The film Noor begins as her transformational journey of how she changes her statement from 'I hate my life' to 'I love my life'. But the screenplay which later gets deviated by focusing on multiple issues, lacks the initial quirkiness, becomes shallow, lacks depth. A one- time watch.

Loss of focus on what should have been the important parts of the movie
sharkalicious14 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
One of my main problems with the movie was that it unnecessarily focused around half of the movie towards building up the relationship between Noor and Ayan, just to see it crumble within 2 seconds. Instead I think more time should have been dedicated to her investigation of the organ harvesting; instead the only evidence she was able to acquire in the beginning was a single confession. Additionally, Noor only stumbled upon this story because of luck. She didn't put in any effort to find a story, and when she did, there was minimum effort put in. I don't think it was an accurate representation of the grueling process journalists have to go through to find information.
Her monologue at the end was what made me rate this movie even lower. There was no need to talk about all of the problems Mumbai faces, but should have instead focused on her one story about the illegal organ harvesting. Elaborating on this would have produced a greater impact on the audience instead of talking about all of the problems Mumbai faces, which everyone already knows about. Additionally it was too opinionated, and had no factual evidence, which made the monologue quite pointless

I love movies where the protagonist is talking to himself / herself. I personally do that. I analyze my life and in the process I am constantly having smart and hilarious conversations with myself. Sonakshi Sinha gives out an honest performance. She does a Bridget jones here. Kannan gill is spontaneous and cute. Purab Kohli has been around for a very long time. This film is not for everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The makers do justice to the source material.
Okay, #iamNoor you were about to kill me in two hours...
bittuzzzz22 April 2017
Literally Noor means Light or Spark & that exactly what is missing in this film. The film starts with confused, dull, unromantic, boring life of Noor & it remains till the end. Shonaksi is good actor & she always give her best & here also she gave. But the Direction is totally useless, no pickups even in comedy or say romantic parts. All the characters are quite goof but somewhere in middle of the film they failed. Cinematography is good, Mumbai is actually beautiful ,the rains & express highway ,the combination is quite Heart melting.
Nothing much to tell about the film, 2nd part is just wasted, climax part will make you realize that Pakistani authors are fully useless and dumb exactly how you think they are.

Failed to rise at Climax when it needed most
prafullasrivastav22 April 2017
Director Sunhil Sippy showcased the life of journalist with different perspective. Sonakshi Sinha tried something different role which turn from Negative to Positive.Here Noor depict all urban youth's life which full of negativity for work, future and life.BFF trio- Sonakshi Sinha, Kanan Gill and Shibani Dandekar have great chemistry at silver screen. As we are witness of Manish Chaudhari's power-pack performance in Rocket Singh-The Salesman of the Year however he failed to tough the bar set by himself. Although his performance was good. Great small performances from Purab Kohli and Smita Tambe. Amaal Mallik's music was good. As the festival of Reprise song has started, Gulabi Aankhen was good for ears.
As Baahubali 2 is about to release on next weekend, Noor has very less time to earn money at box office. As per Audience reception, Noor will declare flop after first week itself.
