Shor In The City
Critic reviews and ratings
-
..breaking-norm film...
-
...an impossibly thrilling roller-coaster ride, backed by heart-thumping tunes, and some of the greatest performances we can recollect in recent times.
-
...a terrific film. It's surprising and disturbing and has a vein of rich, dark humor coursing through it.
-
...hits the right decibels to make sound enough for you to sit up and notice.
-
Three stories, eleven days, myriad layers, believable characters, fine performances, spirited direction, taut script, momentary explosions of originality.
-
I saw the future of Hindi cinema. And it's got a name. Shor In The City.
-
...not your standard Bollywood entertainer and nor does it have your customary flippant and frivolous humor, it prides itself on a certain distinctive Indian appeal with elements of adventure, thrill and drama with its understated and minimalist humor...
-
...ensemble piece where each actor is better than the other.
-
What you do notice about this quintessentially metropolis movie is its sheer spunk, verve and adorably absurd humour.
-
A delicious mix of quirky humor, gruesome violence, and surprising sensitivity...
-
The movie is low on major plot developments but it's packed with nicely observed details and memorable characters.
-
Funny, dark and engrossing...
-
What makes 'Shor In The City' an instant clutter-breaker is its darkly comic treatment. It makes you smile because its humour comes from within.
-
Though, it's not a bollywood potboiler but does tend to keep the viewer engaged and entertained.
-
The relief in watching Shor in the City is partly in the reprieve from the Golmaal variety of comedy. You don't have to guffaw like a retard. You can chuckle quietly.
-
...doesn't quite make the right 'noises'.
-
...is well-shot and has good performances. It also has a few well-developed, interesting characters. Yet, the plot gives a very "been there, seen that" feel.
-
The tone of the film is incoherent and unconvincing.
-
The story had the potential to make a great film however its execution mires its prospects.
-
The film has zilch star value, few charismatic characters, and lacks any revelations so why would the average moviegoer watch it at the cinema?
