New York is the story of three friends whose lives are changed by the events of 9/11. Director Kabir Khan makes an honest attempt at telling the story of two Muslims entangled in all the injustice that followed the events on that fateful day. He succeeds in making a movie that is not just engaging right thru but since its based on a genuinely different story, gets the message home.
This movie for me is a good example of how a different story should be handled for the Indian audience. The movie seems similar to Khuda Kay Liye but its not fair to compare the two movies. KKL was written for a global audience but NY was intended mostly for the Indian public.
