The Critique: New York

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.
