New York brings to screen an event that reverberated universally.
It touches the lives of three friends – Maya (Katrina Kaif), Sameer (John Abraham) and Omar (Neil Nitin Mukesh) – leading a carefree life in New York.
The catastrophic terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11 is the ugly twist in the tale which turns their lives topsy turvy.
Irrfan Khan steps in as a crime investigator.
Their identities, based on their ethnicity, comes under scrutiny and they have to face an unfair yet harsh reality in an atmosphere charged with suspicion and paranoia.
A star-spangled film that starts off well, builds the plot nicely, but goes completely hay wire in the second half. New York is long, tiresome, but well intentioned. Director Kabir Khan tries to delineate the insidious process of the making of a terrorist. It all boils down to a climax so shoddily imagined and executed, that you cease to relate to any of the characters. Saddled with a plot-holed script and poor performances from half of its star cast, New York falls short of expectations.
