Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 01/27/2018
Where it falters is in the way its screenplay turns fluffy—it takes away from the necessary tautness a thriller like this requires. Go to Full Review Lisa Tsering The Hollywood Reporter 07/02/2009
Although the film is a routine thriller with few surprises, it deserves attention because its topic, even eight years after Sept. 11, is one that many South Asian Americans still take very seriously. Go to Full Review Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Times 07/01/2009
1/5
Kabir Khan's New York -- part Bollywood potboiler, part overwrought examination of the war on terror -- is a slice of the Big Apple that you should skip. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh Miss FlickChick 07/02/2009
Kabir Khan uses thriller conventions to address such issues as the suspension of civil liberties and the [US] government's ever-expanding power to harass, detain and deny due process to detainees. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/08/2018 John abraham is one of my fav characters..not just for this reason,this movie really is a great movie...really heart touching...It really deserve to watch... See more Ahmed M @neverOddorEven 06/06/2016 The film's idea seems somewhat good, but what you get instead is two hours of a boring movie which can hardly be watched once. Luckily it had a good enough story, as well as songs to save this movie. See more yash b @yashbansal 06/24/2015 Pretty heavy handed movie, but overall pretty good. See more 01/10/2013 For anyone who is interested in 9/11 aftermath and prosecutions of innocent minorities See more 01/06/2013 Very good tragic movie See more 11/08/2012 A powerful message that was almost lost in the writer's attempt to frame the innocent nature of the main characters. The film went overly cheese ball in it's portrayal of the three friends as happy-go-lucky college students; thereby taking much too long in getting to the point. See more Read all reviews
