NewYork!

My twitter status would have given some insight about how I found it watching the movie!
So.. if you are one of the kind like me who got appealed by the trailers and were waiting for the movie to hit the screens, I really pity you, cuz that's what I did to myself too! :P
Yes.. for me it definitely was a non-entertainer except for those clips that run around the NYSU campus and these people's friendship. Probably friendship and fun are like two things that fascinate me no-matter-what, not just me perhaps everybody and that could be one reason why I could park my a$$ for 3 hrs out there in the Banjara hills Cinemax.

So.. coming to the storyline, most of you who were waiting for it, just like how we did would have read enough amount of reviews in the web and the manual reviews as well from people around.
Let me still give my 2 cents over it.

John and Katrina seem to be the most loving couple. And there comes this Neil Mukesh's Omar character. A typical Hindi movie sorts where you cannot just find a 'single' hero-heroine characters, there 'has to' be a 3rd person giving company to one of the genders. No wonder all these northis are so much behind group dates :p
Few things take a strong stand in the mind.. like when these guys talk of what we refer to babes in India -'tota', When Omar meets Kat after years and looks at her kid and says 'oh his eyes resemble Sam' and Kats giving an immediate reply 'Is that so Omarr.. But I'm not married to Sam' that part puts us into a shock for a moment. Omar getting into the beer guzzling thingie ending up running to the loo and John following him only to come out carrying Omar, I was reminded of a lot of those notty things of my friendship over the years :)

They have tried their best to pull the movie towards the theme 'false victims of 9/11' that they have actually wanted to incorporate into, otherwise its all like a series of not-so-relevant bits and pieces of things happening one after the other.
Some of the scenes stay undisturbed in the screen for as long as 4-5 minutes, just to give a highly puking sensation in your abdomen, one example could be, what happens in the detention centre when John sits with that plate of food, 'trying' real hard to cry thereby bringing in sympathy, whereas the audience just start shouting 'ohhh phulleeeezzz enuf of it, next scene plz'!! hard luck dude, we are sorry.. looong way to go for you when it comes to acting!
The sooper cute thing that anyone do not want to miss in the whole movie was the kid character Danielle! The baby just makes us fall in love with him by the time the movie gets over. At least I just went on remembering some of those cuddly dialogues that he utters like 'so.. do you like pastaa' and all that :)
The FBI role done by Irrfan Khan is worth a shot. Some of the truly funny scenes gets you into the laughter mode! Kudos :)

So.. 'S' told me just before going that he got to read the review and it was wayy too below the expectations, still you can enjoy watching John and I would not take my eyes off Kats. The later though is very true and ultimately even I couldn't resist turning my eyes towards Kats, just get it straight guys ;) no pun intended :P :D The 1st time I liked Kats on the screens, dunno why, she reallyz damn.. soo sexxxyyyyyyyy :) ;)

This fella, Roshan, who was one of those false victims and who works with Kats had done quite a good job. It was touching when he goes behind that policeman who bodychecks Kats and kills him and finally kills himself too, so some Indian touch in NY!
The director/producer had saved a lot of money that must have gone to the Music Director, guess there were some 2 songs in the whole movie. But, ya.. One did made us hum the tune after you come out of the hall.

Overall belongs to the below average kind. Just to kill time over a weekend, you may try buying a CD on the roadsides and sit at home watching it with a good gang of friends around, you will have good time passing whacky comments on every scene of the movie ;)
