Review of New York

New York (2009)
7/10
Kabir Khan is a genius....
16 August 2009
Kabir Khan made 'Kabul Express' people... he's already gone down as one of the finest storytellers of this decade. 'New York' his latest outing, is a yet another feather in his well-decorated cap.

'New York' is a fantastic attempt, and Khan directs the film with aplomb. It sucks you into the world of these characters, if the first hour is more on the flashbacks, the second hour changes gear and becomes a high-packed thriller, with some terrifying moments. Khan knows how to handle a film, and how to keep it's viewer interested.

If the direction and is taking all the credit. Here's a special mention to: Sandeep Srivastava who's screenplay is water-tight and his dialogs at times are clap-worthy. Aseem Mishra's cinematography carries a look. Rameshwar S. Bhagat's editing is perfect.

Now to the performances: John Abraham is superb. He's simply superb when he recalls his past, you feel the pain. His finest work so far. Katrina Kaif looks amazing as always and delivers a fine performance. Neil Nitin Mukesh is excellent. The actor is sure to sustain in Bollywood and has a bright future for sure. Irrfan Khan is, as always, first-rate. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is fabulous as Zilgai.

All said n done, 'New York' is a must watch. Given the pluses up, justify you watching it! Thumbs Up!
