New York ends dry spell on Box-office

“New York” is the directorial venture of Kabir Khan who is the acclaimed director of the movie “Kabul Express” and is under the Yas Raj Films banner. The movie stars John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles.

The Bollywood movie “New York” released this week on the June 27, finally ending the drought of Hindi movie releases that had almost crippled Bollywood because of the stand off between producers and multiplex owners. People are queuing up to the theaters alright, having missed watching Bollywood flicks on the big screen for a long time. Finally, a slew of big banner and big budget movies will make their headway to the big screens.

The subject of “New York” deals in friendship and terrorism, two extremes of emotions in men’s life; one of extreme love and companionship, the other being hatred. So there are three friends,
John (Sameer), Katrina (Maya) and Neil (Omar). They have a happy and full filled life with a carefree attitude towards life. Life will not remain so rosy for the trio for long though. Here is where enters the ugly terrorism.

Since the two World Trade Center towers landed in a heap of debris, the world has been thrown in a remorse operated state. It is in this element, that NY’s director inspects the principal characters in his film, and comes out with a never before told Bollywood tale.
