Had know the director duo only by their earlier works - the middling 'Flavors' (which a new-to-Indie audience had embraced - always a good thing) and the sub-par '99'. Added to that, there was almost no marketing done for the flick (again, common with Indies), and I had no clue what I was walking into, or what to expect. This movie, like some movies, does not succeed due to the lack of expectations on my part / few others as well. It weaves multiple threads, without losing control of a single one, and keeps one entertained throughout, while also amping-up the curiosity factor from sequence to sequence, make our awaiting the denouement almost unbearable, finally tying things up neatly as well. Stylistically and painstakingly shot, this Neo-noir ensemble pack is engrossing all the way, with some fantastic performances from both the familiar and the unknown. To me, this is a star-making turn from Pitobash, and he's sunk his teeth into this role deep. You can't take your eyes off of him whenever he's on-screen, not knowing if his character'll explode/make you laugh. Sendhil Ramamurthy, who I'd known from 'Heroes', also acquits himself well, but his role's not a big stretch. Dwiwedi and Kapoor are fine too, as are Apte and Desai. Mumbai has been depicted many times on the big screen, but this is perhaps one of those times where it figures more prominently than it ever has, they way the director duo made Delhi more than just the backdrop in '99' (which was more of a miss than a hit, something they've more than made up for with this effort). I'll indulge these 2 every time their work hits the big screen, and I'm confident that I'll enjoy more than most.

I am watching this movie after its 13 year. This movie moves around the city of dreams Mumbai...and the life of Mumbai's festival Ganesh chaturthi.this will show you the journey of 11 days.. Beautiful part is that while watching a movie like this which have multiple stories of Mumbai slums to Big towers .. connection between highest and the lowest ends of the city. Tushar Kapur did amezing job his innocence was epic to watch..Radhika apte is best portal of a beautiful girl from slum with every little innocence. It is the most underrated movie in Bollywood. The song Saibo still have its own place in our heart..I was able to relate all my memories with this song.

The movie is a *-tale of three stories simultaneously taking place in Mumbai within the span of 11 days of Ganesh Chaturthi. The narration consists of three different class and tastes having different background struggling in one or the other way to get a place in the heart of India. Let me mention one name first of all, Pitobash Tripathy. I remember him right from the 3 Idiots. I knew the man has got the talent and he has accorded himself very well in the character. He brings in the gags in each and every scene he is featured. The film has got one of the strongest end credits and all thanks to the brilliant scene in the end credit. Rensil has a descent debut and is same with Preeti Desai. Stories,though simple, are well narrated. Screenplay is engaging.Writing team comprising Raj Nidimoru, Krishna D.K., Sita Menon has done a good job. Editing is good.The track fails to show the third story connecting with the other two in the end. Tusshaar Kapoor's track could have been chopped a little. Music is unconventional.All songs are used in the background score which boosts the movie in a positive way. In the end, this "Shor" is a must watch!

Mumbai is not a mere city. It's a phenomenon. Paragon of diversity. Umpteen movies have explored its idiosyncrasies multitude of times that now any movie on Mumbai, honestly, looks the same. But somehow, I had a positive expectations from 'Shor in the City'. Babel like concept of showing several loosely connected events happen in parallel, the characters fading in the chaos of the city. Three petty thieves trying to cash in every opportunity, one NRI trying to establish his own business, One struggling cricketer trying to get entry to the big stage. It's not an out-and-out comedy. So expectations to have lots of laughs is going to fall falter. Promising start. Unfortunately, lost me midway because of mundanity. The last 15 minutes was the saving grace for the initial tedium. Overall, a pretty average movie. Could have been so much better. Watchable. Some appreciable performances (the NRI part is good).

Shor in the city is directed by US based Indian filmmakers Krishna DK ans Raj Nidhimoru, who also directed 99. This film tells three stories, all interconnected in some way about people from different sections of society. It doesn't have too many known faces, but all the actors have done a great job. Tusshar Kapoor comes as a surprise package and delivers a memorable performance. Direction and writing are brilliant. Cinematography is good. The city of Mumbai is well captured. The screenplay is taut. I recommend this film to everyone because it is different, fast paced and also has some humor. 8/10

This is a balaji film , so it was expected that Tushar Kapoor , brother of its owner Ekta Kapoor would get maximum mileage . But even changing his name to Tusshar Kapoor has not helped produce a good film Its about the stories of an RI ( returned Indian ) , a bunch of three crooks including Tushar , and an aspiring cricketeer whose stories run on separate tracks in mumbai , but are destined to intersect at some point......so whats new --aren't all films nowadays having the same formula ?? So returned Indian , who has a bad past which is never explained , tries to open a business in India , but gets into trouble with local crooks who want him to pay ' security money ' ,so that he can do business peacefully . But he does manage to land himself a dishy babe...... ........Tushar and his bunch are forever bungling their capers , though the last bungle brings them almost to the end..... Aspiring cricketeer is simply not good enough to get inti IPL , and has no money to bribe his way in--which makes him unworthy for the girl he's dating.....so he tries to get his money by crime...... In the midst of all this Tushar Kapoor starts to read Paulo Coelho's book THE ALCHEMIST using his tootee-footee angrezi , and realises that the future of everybody's life in the film is also going to be like the book has predicted !! So whats in the future for these people ?? I haven't read THE ALCHEMIST , so don't ask me......

Instantly liked the movie. Unarguably, one of the better Bollywood movies of the year. I would count "Phans gaya re Obama" and "Shor" as some of the finest products of coming of age Indian cinema. If I may take the liberty, I perceive "Shor" as a "Dhobi Ghat" (DB) on crack. While DB is very subtle, understated and subdued, "Shor" is pulsating, vibrant, chaotic and tantalizing. Snippets of dark humor here and there, but nothing surmounting to the backdrop of Mumbai. Again, unlike DB the story lines never cross, nor do the characters inter-wine. However, the crisp editing and repeated cuts to cyclical plots make it seem that way. The film essays eleven days worth of events in the lives of three different sets of inhabitants trying to slug it out in Mumbai City leading up to the festival of Ganesha Chaturthi. Three bootleggers (Tilak, Mandook and Ramesh) live off cheap thrills, carrying out petty crimes, and following up with debauchery in local bars. An expatriate Abhay, relocates to Mumbai to start a business. And an aspiring cricketer, Sawan, looks to make a big name for himself. It is hard to say weather these guys seek out troubles or is it the other way round. Abhay faces local turbulence in the form of street ruffians who demand protection money, and cannot seem to make the city welcoming. He wants to like it, but can't seem to like it. The cricketers' despair is to overcome the extraordinary competition by bribing the officials with money. And Tilak has a plan for future and sees his business expanding if he takes up more responsibilities. The only common thread which resonates with the" Shor in the city" is the metamorphosis of these inhabitants. Abhay, does he what he has to do; grows out of his mainstream sophistication and grabs the bull by its horns. Sawan, disowns the loot, that he so meticulously plans, for something better than his obsession. Tilak gets a breather and walks out unscathed, as he watches the kid dance to the tune of Ganesha in full glory. Mandook and Ramesh, cannot seem to let go of their tomfoolery, which leads to their predicaments. In doing so, all of them find themselves closer to their hearts and lovers. The music is quite good. Most of the tracks play when people are running around or riding their bikes. Then there is beautiful depiction of disorder, as the city itself morphs into a loud and tumultuous world. Edgy direction and low-key actors, excluding Tusshar Kapoor, bounce off the screen as every day folks which are very identifiable in sync with the script. Sendhil Ramamoorthy (Abhay) looks radiant and very different from his Mohindar of "Heroes". Shor is a different movie in a very real sense and a very decent watch.

Two years ago a movie released without much of hype and promotion that was '99" directed by Raj Nidimoru & Krishna DK .. there was something weirdly brilliant in the film which has some restless characters like we often come across in a Guy Ritchie films... Coming to 2011 the same director duo took restlessness in a metro city to another altitude in "Shor in the city".. Shor means "Noise" and the concept of noise has been depicted very well throughout the film..Without giving any spoilers there are 3 stories running parallel in the heart land of Mumbai and the stories get connected in the end. It is one of the awesome dark humorous films of India which keeps you involved with the three stories and how noise plays a imp role internally as well as externally creating a metamorphosis of each protagonist ... The restlessness has been portrayed with a sharp editing in the beginning going to and fro with each stories thus building the tension and that elevates to higher decibel till the climax happens. Watch it for the unique treatment of the director duo, the awesome camera work of Tusshar kanti Ray (who did a superb job earlier this year with urban classy Dhobi Ghaat) and equally commendable sound design by Jordi Cirbian which plays the crux of the execution.. And coming to acting department Pitobash is a new talent to watch for.. Hindi cinema is changing from it routine over the top execution and I sincerely hope more films like Shor in the City are being made which are technically brilliant as well as entertaining. Also Ekta Kappor should be applauded for backing this kind of cinema. (previous year she backed the technically brilliant Dibakar Banerjee's Love Sex aur Dhoka)..Go for this Noise , you will not regret. Thumps up to the director duo. P.S: For those who love song n dance.. well there is no dance but a beautiful romantic song Saibo which has been shot beautifully..

Another slick Mumbai stories about a bunch of people trying to make things work in this mad city. The story has five main characters a small time publisher of pirated books, couple of small time thugs, an NRI trying to start a business in India and a young boy trying hard to make his name in corrupt cricket world. The lives of all the characters intertwine during the course of the plot. Tushar kapoor's acting is just on par at best and so are most actors, including Senthil Ramamurty who plays NRI Abhay in fact seems to be overacting in parts. The surprise element was Pritosh Tripatht playing 'Mandook' he is a revelation very believable in his role of a dumb goon/ sidekick. The movie has a fresh feel and the song 'Saibo' very melodious. Overall a good attempt by directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK.

"When the noise is deafening, can you really hear yourself?" (If you can't hear it, you're OBVIOUSLY dead) The whole movie is about a chaotic scenario that occurs during the Ganapathi Mahotsav in Mumbai. It's told in a multi linear narrative as there are mainly 3 stories happening the same time But no attempt is made to forcefully intertwine the stories and that's one interesting and distinct aspect of the film. All the characters are very well tailored Undoubtedly Tusshar's best movie till date But the actor who dazzles here is Pitobash Tripathy as the eccentric small-time goon Mandook, who steals every scene he's in He is the epicenter of most of the chaos and his role is just a masterpiece It's surprising and disturbing and has a vein of rich, dark humor coursing through it. After the unforgettable comedy '99', directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK continue their great job with Shor. The script is crisp, tight and spattered with some smart, funny one-liners and is consistent till the end. There are many occasions to laugh out loudly especially the time bomb sequence. The movie also boasts a rivetingly smart climax. In short, Shor in the City is a total buzz on! And one note: Do wait till the end credits finish rolling... The surprises don't end with the film...
