New York

Review With high quality picturization, New York is a movie that takes you through a roller coaster of emotions with its display of young, carefree days, to that of heartrending dismay and then extreme tension between the characters. With outstanding performances, the movie manages to evoke extreme emotions and involvement of the audience. The story introduces us to the brutal world of racial discrimination faced by American residents. The scenes of John Abraham s detention are tear-jerking. With a topical theme and excellent representation of the same, teamed up with a well-developed script, the movie turned out to be a masterstroke among Bollywood lovers. --Platform47 Media New York is an extremely taut and highly emotive piece of political drama which begins with a bang. Indian immigrant Omar (Neil Nitin Mukesh) is arrested by the FBI and grilled for his terrorist links by officer Irrfan Khan. Pleading his innocence, he is forced to flashback to his college days and his friendship with Sameer (John Abraham), the campus hero and Maya (Katrina Kaif), the campus hottie who stole his heart but loved Sameer. The breezy campus days give way to a more turbulent present when Omar is sent back into Sameer and Maya's life as an undercover agent for the FBI. His brief is to expose Sameer's terrorists activities and help the FBI to abort his dangerous mission. Omar's loyalty to his friend however remains unflinching through out his treacherous game and his only desire is to extricate his buddies from the messed up post 9/11 world. You won't get the answer dry-eyed. Since the fun and games of the first half build up to a gripping climax which sees all the actors pitching in credible performances.Watch out for John Abraham,this performance should open doors for him. --platform47.com All the three lead protagonists of New York are Muslims affected by the 9/11 episode in varied ways and to different degrees.Of the cast John does well in his frail characterization which could have been much more convincing, intense and effective. Neil looks rehearsed in some scenes but doesn't disappoint. Irrfan Khan never misses any punch in his lines and is as expressive as ever. Katrina Kaif doesn't get the meatier portion and contributes to the sloppy effect.in conclusion,New York is a decent watch but not as compelling as it could have been. --platform47.com Product description Original Yashraj Films DVD About the Actor John Abraham was born in 1972 to a Syrian Christian-Parsi family in Alwaye, Kerala, to Abraham John and Phiroza Irani.
