Noor

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.

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

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.

Just like a usual 2 hour daily TV soap that flows without irritating much and ends.

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.
