Shorgul is reduced to a clich©d melodrama with its bloody clashes between the sword-wielding '€˜Musalmaans'€™ and '€˜trishul-dhaari'€™ Hindus

‘Shorgul’ may be lengthy and chaotic, but its core intention is well meaning and may be watched for what it tries to convey in the existing scenario of communal hatred and intolerance, besides the brilliant performances by Jimmy Shergill and Ashutosh Rana.
