Shor Se Shuruaat: Makes the right noises

"Shor Se Shuruaat" is an anthology of seven indie shorts, whose fledgling directors were hand-picked and mentored by veterans of the Hindi film industry. Released under the HumaraMovie banner, the title of the film is an apt self-proclamation of creating the buzz for its budding directors. Each story, though different, deals with human emotions, but they are bound by a common theme - "Shor" or noise. And every film has the distinct flavour of its mentor. The film starts rolling with "Azad". Directed by Rahul V Chittella and mentored by Mira Nair, it is a layered drama that is intensely narrated in a non-linear fashion. It is the tautly told story of a father-son relationship which also unravels the trials and tribulations of a principled man, who reluctantly becomes a columnist, writing under the pseudonym - Azad.
