Bollywood Movie Shor In The City (2011)
Movie Summary:
Shor in the City (Hindi: शोर इन द सिटी) is a 2011 Hindi film directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK starring Tusshar Kapoor, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Nikhil Dwivedi, Pitobash Tripathi, Sundeep Kishan, Girija Oak, Preeti Desai, Radhika Apte and Amit Mistry in the lead roles. The background score of the film is composed by Roshan Machado. The film was released in India on 28 April 2011.The first look of the film was unveiled on 21 March 2011.A sequence in the trailer of the film is said to have a touch of the 2010 British comedy film Four Lions.
Casting and performances are where the film hits the bull’s eye. Tusshar Kapoor, not known for his acting prowess, manages to surprise. However, the true show-stealer is Pitobash Tripathy as Mandook. Pitobash gets into the skin of his quirky character so well that he stands a good chance of being typecast by the industry.
Infact, the character of Mandook stands out because he represents the true character of the film that’s bizarre, quirky and funny at a deeper level. Filmmakers constantly maintain that tone. We know right from the beginning that things are likely to go wrong but humour alone will save the characters. There are plenty of such scenes where we can laugh happily knowing the fact that nobody is going to die! Infact, one of the most bizarre scenes by its own standard is the one where Tusshar (Tilak) meets the kid hurt in a bomb explosion and feels guilty for his state. The kid gets up and starts walking even before Tilak is gone. If that’s not enough, what about a gang of bank robbers waiting for the manager to arrive for fifteen minutes, after holding everyone hostage!!
The film has its share of lows as well. The plot of NRI entrepreneur Abhay (Sendhil) leaves too many questions unanswered. We simply don’t know enough about the character to sympathise with his travails. And, his transformation is too radical that takes place entirely beyond the screen. From a law-abiding global citizen to a gun trotter, it’s too much to take!
