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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Very bad especially the songs they tried remastered is as garbage as it can get..they ruined the old legendary songs and wthe whole film is trash

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?

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.

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.

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

A below average movie with no big content, but seems like its based on a real story, but nothing me tionable here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SONAKSHI SINHA is the reason you should go watch the film. The girl is so convincing and natural, I feel bad that the story couldn't do justice to her acting skills. Be it her comic timing or serious scene, I guarantee you won't say she's bad in any way. I actually felt like the SONAKSHI of LOOTERA who got lost somewhere came back here. LOVED HER!!

Noor is an Indian comedy-drama film directed by Sunhil Sippy that features Sonakshi Sinha in the lead titular role. The film is based on Pakistani author Saba Imtiaz's novel Karachi, You're Killing Me!Really Sonakshi amazed acting in it that's make a one reason for watch it ..Story was good and boring in somewhere also .. Sonakshi has a different type mood in movie.
