कुछ लेखकों ने नुआर की जगह "नॉयर" वर्तनी का प्रयोग किया है

उदा.

  -> Thanks!

neutral  Piyush Ojha: Although the term was first applied to American thrillers, the primary characteristic of film noir is ' a mood of pessimism, fatalism, and menace' (https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/film_noir ).
5 hrs
  -> The genre was prevalent mostly in American crime dramas of the post-World War II era. https://www.britannica.com/art/film-noir

disagree  Shruti Nagar: Film Noir is much more than simple thriller. It is the all-prevailing aspect of darkness(say, blackness), in the storyline, characters, and overall atmosphere. It cannot be substituted with 'thriller' or 'detective'.

नुआ फ़िल्म / अपराध-रहस्य कथा /


Explanation:
The French term "Noir" has its English pronunciation differ than literal French one as when this comes to English it must speak with both lips and open mouth (as we describe pronunciation in Hindi) and "r" become silent as per language rule, since we most commonly accepts English pronunciation rather than French one thus it should be नुआ.

Second, according to the definition of Noir film are those films which's story revolves and scripted around crime-drama, well it could be called Dark Cinema but it's only due to its uses in that time Black-White films but not limited to the Black color's cinematographic use.

So here are my suggestions and explanations.

neutral  Shruti Nagar: जी हाँ, सही उच्चारण 'नुआ' ही है, लेकिन 'नॉयर' हिंदी में प्रचलित और एक हद तक मान्य हो गया है. रही dark या black की बात, तो इसका सम्बन्ध फिल्म के ब्लैक-एंड व्हाइट होने से नहीं है; कृपया यह देखें: https://www.britannica.com/art/film-noir

  -> आपका आभार, जो आपने प्रश्न के बंद होने के बाद भी समय निकालकर उत्तर दिया. चलिए हिंदी में मान्य है तो अच्छा है, मान्य तो “रामा और कृष्णा ” भी है, यह भी है, तो अच्छा है. बाकी शायद आपने पढ़ा नहीं, नुआ का संबंध कथा की सिनेमेटोग्राफी से है, शायद आप चूक गईं हों.
