Aahh... feels so good finally the smell of popcorn.. the rush to catch the movie right on time so that u dont even miss the national anthem..damn i missed the theatres.. it seemed like a decade that i'd been inside the theatre to watch the movie because of the stupid strike between producers and the multiplex owners.. so when we made plans for NEW YORK - the movie ofcourse i was all game..katrina and my theatres back in action.NEW YORK - the movie of course .. had everything to pull you to the theatres.. decent star cast.. nice promos... perfect timing....and a good YASH RAJ banner written all over it.
I was looking forward for the movie but again too me its a sort of disappointment.
You cant call the movie good .. neither it is too bad.
The director KABIR KHAN.. i was a fan when i saw KABUL EXPRESS i liked the movie.
With terrorism as a back drop even here , this time the 9/11 twin towes blasts and its prejudices, he came up with a more commercialized flick , prolly many people thought that KABUL EXPRESS was more of a documentary.

So this time what he does is , he tries to make a mystery , then some suspense , then a love triangle , then some terrorism , then some chor-police chase and you get NEW YORK - the movie of course..
The movie starts of with some "childish" college scenes which have been re-repeated over a million times in many different movies in different ways. I am in love with this particular word which is gona catch up real soon with guys as the movie is seen .. TOTAAA!!.. haha..
love saying it again and again..!!
John Abraham the stud ,
Neil Nitin Mukesh - all three of them.. play the geek ,
Katrina - sweet pretty lady and the eye candy.
The movie moves at a real slow place in the first half with some flashback and interrogating scenes IRFAN KHAN being the COP.
(I dont understand this if its a bollywood movie and shot abroad and you have a crime investigation, from out of the world you will always have your friendly neighbour hood.. INDIAN COP who speaks fluent hindi).
Problem with this movie is that it grips ur attention for a while and then loses it by putting some un-necessary emotional scenes and stupid songs couple of times.
John Abraham said it in an interview that NEW YORK- the movie of course.. begins where the movie KHUDA KAY LIYE ends...
Actually he spoke sense.. this movie actually tells about life after 9/11 specially for the muslims living abroad.
But i should mention here where the movie loses its brownie points is the CLIMAX.. i mean a good end makes you forget about the tortured 2.30 mins in any other movie.
But then , though i wasnt tortured , i dint enjoy either and to back it up it had the most pathetic CLIMAX scene which dint help the movie to have a good taste in the audiences minds when they leave out.
Music theres not much to hear except for the " hai junoo" song. And a love making song between john and katrina but u rather see it than hear it. :p
Acting
Neil Nitin Mukhesh - i've been a fan of all three of them since johny gaddar.. nice acting
John Abraham - he's always proven the myth that "models cant act" wrong..superb acting..he potrays flamboyance , anger , frustration.. just perfect!
Irfan Khan - is a superb actor.. he plays the role of a cop with ease and natural acting abilities unlike the other star cast but wat is IRFAN khan without his wise ass perfectly timed dialogues he's been given NONE..!!
Now for the acting skills of my pretty lady Katrina Kaif , all i can say.. she's definitely improved her HINDI.. lol
All in all NEW YORK - the movie of course..is a strict , mediocre .. one time watch.
I would say go for it , smell the popcorns and come u'll have a feel good factor.. lol..
RATINGS: 2.5/5
