‘Shorgul’ is a lot of noise in an empty vessel

On the plus side, the 132-minute movie has strong performances from most of its cast, especially Ashutosh Rana, whose subtle and winning turn is a welcome break from his screechy characterisations in the past, and Hiten Tejwani.
Jimmy Sheirgill and Hiten Tejwani’s political drama is a lesson in bad filmmaking!

The only credit I can give to the makers is how they deceived talented actors like Jimmy Sheirgill, Ashutosh Rana, Narendra Jha and Sanjay Suri into acting in this mess. It’s sad to see Ashutosh and Jimmy give their best in a film that is totally undeserving of their skills.
A shallow film on communal riots

Shorgul has good actors, but they remain under-utilised due to a lousy script.
A toothless, clichéd melodrama with bloody clashes

Jimmy Shergill and Ashutosh Rana starrer is a kind of film that sadly requires political intervention for it to release.
The performances are earnest, especially Jimmy Sheirgill and Ashutosh Rana

he writers keep themselves busy in killing one character after another. Expecting the film to paint a comprehensive picture of the communal feelings of common people or offering a solution to the general animosity that triggers tension every time there is a mishap, is clearly expecting too much.
A bafflingly obtuse political drama

SHORGUL is nothing but a hopeless political drama that gets played on our T.V. Channels just to fill the slot.
Actors like Jimmy Shergill and Ashutosh Rana give brilliant performances in spite of a tepid script.

Shorgul is a missed opportunity! The film is white noise with all possible cliches from a political drama clubbed with hard-hitting issues rolled into dramatic dialogues.
Shorgul is so horridly ham-handed that it merits no rating as a film.

Shorgul is a shrill, simplistic, by-the-rote drama that does not have the foggiest clue what to do with its solemn and delicate subject matter.
