New York Movie Review

"New York" Movie Poster

Although I scarcely watch bollywood movies, but reading the review given by my close-friend on the movie and the daily advertisements making sense, I finally made my plan to watch the movie. The movie had the loud and clear message as far I believe that with so much discrimination and racialism we are breeding hatred which in some cases results to acts of  terrorism. The scenario depicted in the movie is about how the life of a young Indian-American is affected after the September 11 attack. This young American studying in New York State University is tortured by the FBI on suspicion of his involvement in the September 11 attack but after sometime when conclusive enquirers negate his involvement in any terrorist activity, he is cleared of the charges but the torture faced by him in the custody leaves hatred in him. He now forms a terrorist group and attacks the FBI head-quarters seeking revenge. The FBI keeping watch on him through his university’ friend, kill him when he just steps away from his goal and foils his plan. The movie’s story is good and carries a message as far I believe, i.e, through the hatred instilled in us for various ethnic groups due to some people wrong doing’s we are creating more hatred around us. The recent world scenario makes me feel that many countries are sowing the seeds to terrorism due to their own actions and are facing the consequences of their mistakes.

Coming back to the movie, the storyline was good but not aptly depicted in the movie, the planting of bombs on the FBI head-quarters in the movie was hard to believe, rest the movie was fine, but I wouldn’t suggest it as a must-watch.  Anyways, I appreciate the efforts made by all in the movie.
