Noor
Critic reviews and ratings
-
This is the great debut that has come seven years into Sonakshi’s career. And for that, you must go meet Noor at theatre.
-
...is an endearing lovable hoor (women) waiting at your nearest screen that shows Sonakshi Sinha in her top form.
-
...is a decent one time watch for the subject it addresses.
-
...like journalism, this film should be seen for what it is. And hey it isn't bad at all.
-
...when it engages in shallow activism for the heck of it, it rambles and drags.
-
...could have been a winner but the floozy plot plays spoilsport. Watch Noor strictly for Sonakshi Sinha’s unmissable performance.
-
Coming-of-age, social message, comment on media, con-men – Noor covers a lot of ground. Which might have been fine, if only it didn't start its sermon.
-
...this one's a bit too ambitious for a film with zero vision. The issue is that Noor stands for everything and sits down for nothing in particular.
-
The film’s pluses do not eclipse its minuses though. Its news office milieu is poorly sketched...
-
Noor’s nose for news is weak, but at least she gets the romance beat right. She would make a questionable investigative journalist, but a fine relationship advice columnist.
-
The film’s social commentary is as well-intentioned as it is heavy-handed.
-
Patronising as it may sound the film should have remained about Noor and her relationships alone. It’s when Noor’s professional side comes to fore that things start to crumble.
-
With Noor, for example, I cannot for the life of me figure out why the film's heroine wants to be a journalist.
-
...it gets some things right and the others horribly wrong.
-
...is as appetizing as a flat beer. Whatever little effervescence it has is only window dressing.
-
...it fails to establish enough angst for the protest it hopes to ignite, it stops being the rom-com pretty soon and it does not give the victims enough time for us to empathise, nor does it ponder over the aggressors enough, for us to loathe them.
-
The problem arises in the second half of the film. The pace starts to take a dip! The story changes gears and goes on another tangent.
-
Although handsomely mounted and evocatively shot, Noor lacks a sense of genuine urgency. The protagonist’s journey from flaky to fully reformed is never convincing...
-
A compelling micro story about a single character loses its essence by trying to be a macro story about Mumbai, journalism and other words thrown at you with sincerity reserved for banal platitudes.
-
... the film’s unrelenting glibness prevents it from realising its potential.
-
Noor, played by Sonakshi Sinha with all the earnestness she can muster, but the script is so badly researched, so superficial, it gives journalists a bad name.
-
...is neither a slice-of-life film on the lines of Bridget Jones' Diary which it tries to emulate nor does it develop into a good film about the journalism business.
