Synopsis:
''It'' by Neeraj Ghaywan (Ratnabali Bhattacharjee and Vineet Singh) is the story of a couple from Benares struggling to make a life in a shanty in Mumbai. The husband is unemployed and frustrated and the wife goes about trying to make ends meet, even while making sure that her husband, child and her mother-in-law are fed on time. Bogged down by the pressures of their tough daily life, their marriage is breaking down when an incident shakes it out of its reverie. Handled deftly and sensitively, this story touches a chord, as it could be the story of any of us, who tend to take relationships in our lives for granted.
While ''Mehfuz'' stays in your psyche longer because of its shock value and of course the presence of the inimitable Nawazuddin, ''Shor'' is undoubtedly the best film of the lot because of the sincerity and the sensitivity of the script and the performances of the actors involved. ''Audacity'' comes a close second.
A unique experiment, which deserves an applause.
