New York is a sensitive portrayal of the lives of Asian community post 9/11 in the big apple and director Kabir Khan gets the due credit for it.Story begins with the interrogation scenes between Neil and Irffan Khan (reprising his role as a cop a la' Slumdog , please don't typecast you self .. it would be a waste of talent ! )
The tet-e-tet between the two leads the audience into a flash back when Neil joins the NYSU as a graduate student.
The first half has its moments like the Chess Match between John and Neil , the Junoon song and Neil breaking down upon heartbreak.
The last half an hour before the break , brings the real drama into the flick with Irffan's motives come to fore , and Neil's predicament.
The post-interval gives you the insight into the plight of the Muslims post 9/11 and John just takes the cake with big big cherry on top... he has come of age ...
Neil playing Omar has done a remarkable job and I have been a fan since Johhny Gaddar.
Climax , gives you a feel of a Hollywood production , with superlative edge-of-the-seat execution.
All in all , Kabir Khan brings out a great storyline , churning incredible performances and perfect message.
Rating : 3.0 /5.0
