Movie Review: 'Shor Se Shuruaat'

With baited breath you wait for the second, "Aamer" -- directed by Amira Bhargava and mentored by Zoya Akhtar. This one tells us the story of a deaf boy named Aamer, who lives on the streets of Mumbai. It is a slice of his life tale which reveals how, devoid of sound, he romances the city. In his endeavour to lead a normal life, Aamer with the help of his mother, acquires a hearing aid. After which, instead of being thrilled about being able to hear, how he is disappointed, forms the crux of this tale. Though well executed in a formulaic graph, the film exhibits a sense of familiarity and thus loses out on the novelty factor. The little boy who plays Aamer is charming, but lacks charisma and thus fails to tug at your emotional chords.
