Shor In The City

Shor In The City, one of the best movies in Hindi film industry. Multiple story plot will always makes its mark in all the way. 

The story starts with 5 different casts and their life style in Mumbai city. The transformation from one character to another charter and the sequence of getting their own karma back is really a pleasant to watch. 

Best part of the movie is the pace. The pace of the movie was held right from the beginning and everyone in the film is in search of something. As like Hollywood, Bollywood also has a separate division as casting director and it’s good to know that they are succeeded. Every cast lives in their character.

There are no obstacles in the screenplay and no hindrance in its travel by unwanted songs. Sendhil Ramamurthy, an US based NRI shines in his character and his character shows how society turns a good one to bad or even ugly. But he shines to eminence and receives our applause. 

The movie is mixed with comedy and dark face of terror. The music plays a vital part in holding the sensation throughout the film. 

To be honest, I am not interested in watching Hindi movies often other than Aamir’s production. The world can address India in many ways but the most probable way is definitely through Bollywood. Two things are most famous in India, one is Cricket and another one is Bollywood. 

Bollywood cinemas will follow a particular formula if one of the films turns up with good profit. For example, if a smuggler type of story succeeds, we can expect the same type of story followed by. But I could say, there are some couple of good movies was released recent times in Bollywood which impresses me a lot.  A shor in the city is one of them. It insists in Karma is a Bitch.

The film tries to deal with concepts of chance, the constant struggle between hope and despair and self actualization. The opening of the movie starts with the song "Karma is a bitch" which fits in with the central theme of the story where the characters of the film keep trying to come to terms with their own actions. Abhay has a dark past which is not revealed in the film but it can be speculated that he came to India to stay away from it. Tilak initially holds himself responsible for the tragic accident that happens in the movie which brings him closer to his wife and viewing life from a different perspective. The goons who traumatize Abhay eventually end up being shot by their own bullets on the day of Ganesha Visarjan indicating to an extent the influence of God in the movie. Tilak gets a new life and finds his treasure at home. Sawan who is financially pressed decides to keep the money he finds at the bank robbery and gives up on the cricket selections- a choice he could have well chosen not to take-Towards the end of the movie all characters move on different paths.

Shor In The City, Multiple narration film is always a successful one. One of the best movie ever in Bollywood. Best part is they gave due credit on how they inspired to do this project which is very rare in entertainment media.
