Amidst allegations of ‘influences’, Pritam brings out nice music. Though most of the times the allegations are true, music has freshness that cannot denied. New York is just a fine example.
Hundreds of people suffered backlash due to their religion after 9/11 though they were as innocent as a meek sheep. But it cannot justify the route of terrorism to nullify atrocities.
Overall, NY is a good movie and deserves to be recommended. John and Katrina apparently silenced the critics who termed them plastics. They did justice to their characters. Neil was brilliant. He is a potent explosive. Irrfan Khan was good as usual. The portrayal of a Muslim FBI Officer must have been difficult considering the complexity of role and sensitivity of story.
Special applause for the unsung hero who played the role of post-9/11 injustices’ victim who killed cop for misbehaving with Katrina. He was really good.
Kabir Khan has raised his bar as a director after an impressive Kabul Express. He has done a good job and we expect better movies from him. Story was nice. Applause for the writer Sandeep Srivastava. In all, in the time when stale mutton like Kambakkht Ishq turns out to be a blockbuster, NY is refreshing like a mint.

NY could hav been a better mvie. Katrina was good. Not plastic as quoted... this time atleast.
NY was a dissapointment for me..mainly coz of many loopholes in d script.What i think is that wen v r makin realistic cinema then it should b real...but it wasnt d case wid NY.Not only it had a staggering pace but also it did not justify FBI's steps...however it tried to!
Khuda k liye was much betr..infact NY seemed lik a sequel to it!
exactly Rishab i agree with you..... the treatment was very filmy... instead Khuda ke liye is a class apart .. though i think they are poles apart ... new york is just a thriller trying to be issue based... at best watchable.....
khuda ke liye was issue driven... NY is not bout problems in muslim society- rather bout an american muslim alleged... i guess NY's story started from where kKL eneded...
kudos to kabir khan for driving home a message far stronger than KKL- bout forgivness... the fbi officer urging Omair to move on, to forget and forgive was very relevant in the world of today...
if indian society could learn a few lessons from the wise officer's words- we could save our political parties from wasting lot of useful time in refreshing old communal wounds...
