'Noor': Says so much without seeming to say anything

The flow of conversational energy is the key to the narrative's efficacy. Ishita Moitra's dialogues add ample zest warmth and humour to Saba Imtiaz's skimpy novel about the socio-political awakening ofA an aimless reporter. In director Sunhil Sippy's hands, "Noor" is a lot more. It's about the media and sensationalism, the city and the singelgirl.
