Noor is an adaptation of a Karachi, You're Killing Me! by Pakistani author Saba Imtiaz. The film revolves around journalist Noor, the central character, who is bogged down by the petty and day-to-day chores of her life until she lays her hands on a huge investigative story that can change her life. The film also stars Shibani Dandekar and Sunny Leone, who features in a song as herself.
