New York is a contemporary story of friendship set against the larger than life backdrop of a city often described as the centre of the world. Omar (Neil Nitin Mukesh) has gone abroad for the first time in his life and soon enough he begins to see and love America through the eyes of his American friends – Sam (John Abraham) and Maya (Katrina Kaif). It is the story of these three friends discovering a new world together.
But one day the world around them changed...
For most of us, larger events in the world are just headlines in the newspapers but these events can change our lives... forever. New York is one such story of 3 young friends whose beautiful lives are turned upside down by larger events beyond their control.
At this point enters Agent Roshan (Irrfan), an FBI undercover agent who sets the ball rolling for a series of tumultuous events that turn the lives of these friends into a dangerous and thrilling roller coaster ride.

New York !!!- A tale of three friends(John as Sam/Sameer, Neil as Omar n beauty Diva Katrina as Maya ) has topped in bollywood and will remain top for more than 8-10 weeks. Once again Irfaan Khan as FBI agent- Roshen has shown his talent as one of his best performance.
In this story, the 3 guys studying in New York University shows a great combination of love, sorrow, anger, revenge and no doubt they have given their best performance and have proved to be a BLOCK BUSTER in the bollywood.
And music by Pritam also rocks this time. No idea whether this time also he had copied from some Chineese/japanees/korean or any other movies but, the songs are heart-touched.
Everything in this movie has shown its perfectness at the right time and right directions. Yashraj Movies once again proved to give their best efforts.
New York is a good movie. It is a movie for the present generation to understand the right perspective. The treatment to the subject is wonderful. The message was strong "Nothing Justifies Terrorism". If we talk about acting skills, John, Neil and Katrina were good. Neil as a new comer is improving with every movie. John has given a complete new dimension to his acting career. Katrina has also given a stunning performance. Irfan Khan is as usual an interesting element in the entire picture. The bottomline is, "New York" is a good movie to watch. You can see this movie with the whole family. I felt like ...
Great movie...
very absorbing and touching story about 3 friends and the consequences of their lives after 9/11..I love you john...All the three actors neil,katrina and john did a fabulous job..And irfaan is superb as always..Portrays the bitter truth and reality...True love and friendship!!!
John and kate make an amazing couple..great chemistry... I felt like ...
Friends we have watched a lot of movies like this frnd tying up with cops to nab old frnds. Remember Al Pacino , akshay kumar, Imraan Hashmi Starrers. The best part of the movie is though its cinematography and Niel Mukesh, He is superb in his Role, as for John and Katrina they are just good looks, Both lack strong dialogue delivery. We are nowadays only watching movies that are set up in Abroad, are there no stories in India, or the producers wanna sell the look of the movie rather than the Matter.
This is the worst movie made by Tashan.
John and Kaitrina please do take some acting lessons.
Niel was good but overall movie is so boring that u will start frustrating within half an hour...........
Please dont watch it ......... I felt like ...
John, Katrina and Neil, all actors, deliver their career-best performance. If the first half belongs to Neil, John takes over the second hour completely. John is superb when he recalls the past.
You can feel his pain, that effective is his performance. Also, note his expressions towards the end. This is a different John, for sure. Just one word for his performance -- fabulous!
Neil was remarkable in JOHNNY GADDAAR, but disappointed in AA DEKHEN ZARA. Fortunately, he's in top form this time around. Katrina gives you the biggest surprise.
Known for her glamour roles, Katrina proves that she can deliver if the director and writer offer her a role of substance. She's outstanding. In fact, people will see a new, different Katrina this time. Irrfan is, as always, first-rate.
On the whole, New York is amongst the finest films produced by Yash Raj. At the box office, there's no stopping this one. Go for it now!
JUST LOVE IT .......
BEST WORK BY YASHRAJ.....
m sure YASHRAJ BACKS with BIIIG BAANNGG I felt like ...
It's plainly evident that all of the film makers of the world have approached the subject matter of 9/11 with appropriate honour and respect. So far so good. But when you sit for two and a half hours and come out of the screening rooms watching a film like New York, you tend to say – So good and so true.
I was worried walking into Kabir Khan's “New York”. Not that it was “too late” or “one more” for a 9/11 movie. I had other concerns. I was worried that Kabir would take this opportunity to get on his soapbox about some conspiracy or another. I was worried that can John Abraham surpass his Taxi 9211 performance for once. I was worried that will Neil be still remembered as Johnny Gaddar. I was worried whether Katrina Kaif could ever act in a film. And most of all, I was worried that a Bollywood film about 9/11 would be rife with swelling strings and easy answers. Well, for the entire film, my worries were unfounded.
The film revolves around three best friends from the New York State University and an FBI officer Roshan (Irrfan Khan) who are dragged into the aftermath of 9/11 with series of unwinding events making their lives a living hell. Omar (Neil Nitin Mukesh) plays a fresher from India who slowly but surely falls for Maya (Katrina Kaif) but is not able to confess his love to her. Enter Sam (John Abraham) who plays the cool dude American with panache. In a bizarre twist of fate and love, it is Maya who kneels down and proposes Sam. But during that one sweet moment which takes place post intermission, the film must've already taken you into hundreds of breathtaking moments pre interval. The plot may not be rocket science but the scenes, thrills and the suspense is, and for that my good friend, you need to buy the tickets to the most thought provoking movie Yash Raj Films has ever come up with (When was the last time you heard a Yash Raj Film was called 'thoughtful'?)
New York isn't about demeaning the Americans, oh no!. New York has no histrionics. It is simply a strong story telling without being preachy, involving us with the life of three friends and by default, the many whose lives were touched by this unforgettable tragedy. The script carefully walks the line between reverence and worship, emotion and manipulation. With only a blink of an eye exceptions, the material is handled with surprisingly delicacy.
New York is difficult to watch based solely on the 9/11 events it portrays, for which one may get offended but with its welcomed catharsis it's not likely to offend many. By the end of the movie I asked myself a question – What did Kabir Khan made me think about? The answer – In a nutshell, he made me remember that the United States of America was built on the hearts and resolve of its citizens.
Performances have to be witnessed than to be written about, but I'll still write them down. In order of no preference, I'd rate New York as a film completely based on four powerhouses of performers. Irrfan Khan, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and to everyone's surprise...Katrina Kaif. Yes, you heard! What other directors since half a decade could not achieve, Kabir Khan managed to pull it off. Thus giving Kaif her most memorable role ever. I remember meeting John and telling him that it's going to be impossible to topple his Taxi 9211 performance. But he too proved me and his audiences wrong. John Abraham, please take a bow! Your performance don't deserve points but pat on your back...not butt! Neil Nitin Mukesh thankfully will no longer be remembered as 'Johnny Gaddar' now but as Omar. Neil is simply a crowd puller and it's time we Aa Dekhe Zara this boy from Bollywood. Cannot speak much about this man called Irrfan Khan because he is what he is and the best there ever is in our industry. There was no need to call him a 'museebat'. Jokes apart, in using his eyes to convey anguish, Irrfan delivers the gravitas of the circumstances with style and substance. Hats off!
Kabir Khan gives us an unshakable bird's eye view of the city of New York through the weary perspective of the individuals caught in the vicious circle of detainees while the rest of us remained stuck in shock on the sidelines.
Production values are excellent, from the editing to the interaction between the two friends, Sam and Omar to Omar and Roshan to Maya and Omar, the scenes are not trivialised as tension builds and the story reaches its dramatic crescendo. Dialogues and the Background scores are powerful. Cinematography is soothing to the eyes and the songs take you on an emotional high. New York is an absorbing and riveting film. It is in this context that Kabir Khan succeeds in delivering an insightful and powerful snapshot of one of the stories of courage, determination, love and hope from that fateful day in September. New York carries a gigantic emotional impact and seeds a bed of uplifting pride for the people of America.
New York serves as a catalyst for the manner in which we all shake our heads in disgust to imagine how we all have a tendency to forget the sanctity of humanity on any given day.
Kabir Khan's New York gives us a Lifetime Movie of the Week feel. I felt like ...

After almost 3 months big banner’s movie is released. New york is the movie about 3 friends. This is based on 9/11 as we know and handles the subject of terrorism.
New york shows terrorism in bollywood style. Now it’s not a fresh subject. There has been movies made about terrorism but this one starts with altogether different subject and ends with the same drama. It could have been more slick, fast and interesting than it is now.
I am not saying it is complete trash but when you end up watching this you do not feel anything .first 20-30 mins are pretty slow .movie picks up the grip right before the interval and then we get true story. It has twists and turns and they do the job well.
It surprises us few times but remains very predictable in the most of the parts.
What I most liked was direction of kabir khan. He shows his directorial skills effectively. Use of camera is splendid. Watch the seen showing john Abraham locked up in the small cell, lights flashing and loud music behind it. It reminded me dev-d but then use of such technique was impressive .as far as songs are considered ‘yaron’
Was the only song I liked .junoon is at the end when credit rolls .and rest were forgettable.
As far as acting is concerned no one is at his/her best. karina and john is as usual
Neil and irfan were little bit better I would say than rest .
New york gives something to think but it does not give it with the best way. It starts ….doesn’t pick up the grip…gets the grip at some point…looses the pace ….typical bollywood climax and …..Movie ends. It is even full of clichés. I found them everywhere. Take the race in the college for instance. Haven’t we seen race between students in college? What’s the use of such scene when we know the hero is only going to win .it wasn’t even thrilling.
New york claims that its different but believe me it is not. It follows the same bollywood rule and ends up with regular climax but since it is dealing with different subject and since there is something with direction of kabir khan I would recommend you.watch it if you like Katrina ,john and neil…watch it if you want to see repactable bollywood film .
In general I am going 2 out of five for kabir khan’s New York I felt like ...
Hey john n Katherina u look very cute couple together i wish u 2 were a real couple in life .Every1 was like AWWW when they saw u 2 together in the movie.
This is the worst movie.
John and Kaitrina please do take some acting lessons.
Niel was good but overall movie is so boring that u will start frustrating within half an hour...........
Please dont watch it ......... I felt like ... I felt like ...

c for urself! I felt like ...
Fantastic acting of the trio of Neil,John an Katz.....Special Mention to irrfan who scares u as a fbi agent.......A fantastic Storyline grips u throughout the pace of the film....no unneccasary songs....Hai Junoon is a bonus....Go watch it......American Government is unvielved of its cruel mask in this flim......Go for it..... I felt like ...
I would have loved Rudraksh, Tashan , Kal Kisne Dekha & Kya Dil ne kaha in comparison to this movie.
Plz dont see this movie even if some one offers u for free........ I felt like ...
Pathetic .......that's what the review is for New York...... Story is very weak.....certain cinematography was not at all required.......acting was very "on the surface".....making a fuss of such a sensitive issue as 9/11 and at the climax was the stupidest possible.......specially the final dialogue of Irfan Khan was so pathetic and useless.....just for the heck of it. Just a small piece of advise to the Yash Raj banner......please do not copy Hollywood substance into Hindi films without doing justice to it ....
like all the FBI stuff etc.......................there are lots of sensitive issue to deal with in India itself. Poverty, Hunger, rape, dowry, child marriage, racism...........please deal with these in your next ventures........and also do some justice to your banner.....
the movie is good, but felt like some answer were missing , it could be becuase those question can't be answered and influence each individuals perception......
although it's good to watch cool dude Jhon , prettiest katrina, and lovely nitin mukesh.. nice backgoround music ,,, and ofoucrse full credit to Kabir Khan for creating cinema as in Hollywood style!!! I felt like ...
A really nice movie nicely directed and plotted by the makers realy worth watching if u gonna spend your time watching any good movie than it should be the first choice.
A nice starting with horryfyiong facts which most of us don't really know
and a true human emotions
REALLY WORTH WATCHING!!!!!.The movie starts with fun and friendships but slowly changes its plot when something changes and rocks the New York City
SUPERB MOVIE
ENJOY SEEING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John and katrina must focus on modelling rather than acting they don't even knows the abc of acting.......This is typical bollywood story ...No American will like it. ..........It is rubbish, awful, superflop movie in my view I felt like ...
superb movie.but not so good ending as katrina and john die.
but then to worth watching.the songs are also very good.u can see it 2 times. I felt like ...
Great story, sceenplay, dialogue, comic sense, and all acted very well full paisa vsul this something very true on ur expectation... better then kambakht ishq! I felt like ...
Well the movie starts with 3 frnds & end with a non-sense script..there is no link between the first & second half of the flim..... Most impotantly i find that some of the dialouges are written to gain the religious sentiments of the people....we need movie which can make us feel united & increase our character strength & new york is just doing the opposite.... purely lack of direction. It is pointing to a particular religion & making wrong use of democracy
The concept is nothing new. Saw the similar line in khuda ke liye. But what makes this movie going is the neutral view of the director and the story writer in making this movie. He has explained both points from the terrorists and the US govts. point of views. Katrina acts like a bimbo and can only light up the screen with her smile. Johns best acting so far. Neil has done full justice to his role and has come out a winner at last. A much needed hit. The story is Gripping and the songs are good, though you dont realise it coz you are soo engrossed in the movie. Definitely a one time see. I felt like ...
Theme is gud but characters were seen struggling in making their impression, looka like they forgot to act within 2 months.....in short Indian movie with hollywood capri .
thizz movie iz excellent wth gr8 script a bit of flaws but the story overcums it.gr8 acting .kinda of emotional,i saw every1 next 2 me crying at the climax.i liked the movie very much .i wuld recommend every person 2 watch thizz. I felt like ...
This movie is a must watch, Thought Provoking movie with a nice positive message at the end. There are absolutely no loopholes anywhere,, both acting wise & technology wise... Best actor: John, Best actress: Katrina, Best actor supporting : Neil....
Excellent movie, Go, watch it in cinema hall,, or, probably u will miss 1 of the best of bollywood!! I felt like ...
ITS AN INTELLIGENT MUVI.

Great movie, something new & fresh for all. John, Katrina, Neil & Irfan all are fabulous. We should try our best to consider the message given at the end of this movie. The pair of john & Katrina is amazing. I felt like ...
I liked the theme of 9/11 that how its changes the life of three of them. The theme was good to understand that what happnes with the people who goes and put up in the foreign countries. John gave the remarkable performance of his lifetime but i was little disappointed with the ending it should have been in the favour of John & Ketrina as they got punished for nothing but Above all the movie was nice and entertaining. I felt like ...
hey da movie is awesome.. n fedship of all three..is shown nicely. neel aslo did great acting. and john n kat wer also gr888.. all concept n story ws diff n handled neatly.. must watch.!! I felt like ...
