The goons who traumatize Abhay eventually end up being shot by their own bullets on the day of Ganesha Visarjan. Tilak gets a new life and finds his treasure at home. Sawan who is financially pressed decides to keep the money he finds at the bank robbery and gives up on the cricket selections a choice he could have well chosen not to take. Towards the end of the movie all characters move on different paths.Shor in the City was made on a small budget of 30million and a further 27.5million on PampA, with total investment coming to around 60million. Trade analysts estimated that around 50 of this will be recovered from nontheatrical revenue but as always it is the theatrical revenue that decides a films fate at the box office. Balaji Motion Pictures, head of distribution and acquisition Girish Johar says We gave Shor in the City a tight release of around 500 screens across the country and the film found appreciation. It grossed around 38.5million in justdays and adding the revenue from nontheatrical rights, the whole investment on the film has been more than recovered. ........
