New York movie review
Ray Acharya (Neil Nitin Mukesh), a All those of us who want an apparently free ride on a svelte, sizzling camaraderie can have the time of their lives. Katrina Kaif is matching swords with John Abraham to produce what looks like being one of the real blockbusters of coming times.
The movie would be produced by Yash Raj films. Now few years ago this would have been a success mantra in itself but these are tough times for Yash Raj flicks and they are going through a series of misses, may be interspersed with an odd hit.
Direction mantle will be taken by Kabir Khan, the guy who is attributed to the semi-success of Kabul express. (In fact it did reasonably well in certain territories) the film also has the self- assured but unassuming Neil Nitin Mukesh.
Yash Raj films have been known to keep their venture in complete wraps till the post production stages. Keeping in line with the trend, they have not revealed much. The movie is expected to hit theaters in early 2009.
Monica Bhattacharjee, spokeswomen for YRF has not confirmed even the title, suggesting it is a tentative one.
John Abraham has already become a brand in this country with the latest line of accessories that he has flashed under his name. After Anurag Kashyap’s No Smoking and Kukhnoor’s Aashaayein, he has taken up New York which again like Khan’s Kabul Express is based on terrorism and its various ramifications.
"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. 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.
"New York" stars John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif. It's the first time the three have worked on a film together. To prepare of the part, Neil Nitin Mukesh had to gain eight kilos then lose it. According to Neil, "It was annoying to put on extra weight, but then my role asked for it. But I'm feeling great that I'm in perfect shape and feeling quite fit now." Also, Irrfan Khan coming off of the success of "Slumdog Millionaire" plays an investigative agent in the film.
The three, Abraham, Mukesh, and Kaif, play friends living in America and enjoying college life. The stars promoted the film during the finale of Indian Idol this year as well as other venues. Philadelphia and New York act as backdrops for the film. After the events on September 11th their lives are changed forever. The film covers the post 9/11 fear and politics that consumed America. Kabir Khan directs the film and hopes to follow up on the success of "Kabul Express."
The Kabir Khan film is a paramount one, according to Kabir "New York is a contemporary story of friendship set against the larger-than-life backdrop of a city often described as the center of the world." This is the second time Kabir will be working with John Abraham, he cast the star in the critically acclaimed film "Kabul."
The film was produced by Aditya Chopra. Music for "New York" is done by composer Pritam Chakraborty who has worked on "Dhoom," "Race," and "Dhol" to name a few. The songs, like other Yash Raj films with catchy songs and sincere lyrics. The movie expected to be a summer blockbuster, the hype began back in December 2008 when the trailer was shown during the release of the Shahrukh Khan film, "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi."
