Tina Marie D’Silva lives a middle-class lifestyle in a small town in India along with her widower dad, and elder sister, Rita, who runs ‘Rita’s Bar’ where Tina also works after returning from college. After working at the bar, she then goes to the local Church to rehearse singing in the Choir. One day renowned singer, Vikramaditya Singh, hears her voice and enrolls her in his prestigious school, where only 20 of 2000 elite and wealthy students are admitted. After a few clashes, Tina manages to amaze everyone with her talents – so much so that she is invited to sing along with Vikramaditya himself. On the day of the recording, Tina fails to appear. An angered Vikramaditya decides to have nothing to do with her. He subsequently changes his mind, goes to visit her, and finds out that she is now a nun. After many attempts he succeeds in convincing her to return to sing with him at his very first live concert to which she agrees.

Sur Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.4 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 453.

“Sur” is the story of a famous musician who looks for a successor and finds one in a young girl who sings like an angel. I’ve read a lot of good reviews about the movie and how it is a “different sort” of Bollywood movie. Well, that might be true, but I still didn’t find it particularly gripping.

Don’t get me wrong, I thought it had nice music, very good actors and an acceptable running time. It was really enjoyable. But nothing spectacular. First of all, its direction is average. The director used a lot of filters which make the film look like a soft porn movie from the late 70’s / early 80’s. Those filters are utterly useless in this movie. The visuals undermine the sincerity of the plot. There was only one scene that I thought was well lit and filmed, and that was Lucky Alis first big song number where he sings on a boat. The rest was mediocre at best.

Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 1.5 star out of 5 Star.
