Shorgul deserves a watch, more so because of its topicality in this putrid climate of communal hatred and intolerance.

Overall, Shorgul makes for a decent watch. It scores heavily on the acting front and performances alone make it watchable. Kudos to the movie’s ensemble cast! Lalit Pandit’s music adds soul to the film. Shorgul’s strong socio-political commentary succeeds in depicting the dirty side of vote bank politics and in raising pertinent questions about the lack of tolerance that engenders communal hatred. More importantly, it tries to teach us the true meaning of humanity.

Shorgul deserves a watch only for the performance of the actors. The plot of the film could have been better and convincing.

While the murkiness of politics and spectatorial role of the Security Forces is not something new, the strong character of Chaudhary saab accomplished by Ashutosh Rana in his new avatar, is reason enough why Shorgul should not be missed.
