New York [DVD]

Product description Original Yashraj Films DVD 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
