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
