Watching New York Movie

Hi Today, I witnessed a 2 hours and 40 minutes long movie called New York, starring Neil Nitin Mukesh, Katrina Kaif, John Abraham and Irrfan. What should I call it, maybe a piece of sheer foolishness, or maybe a crime in the name of entertainment or maybe a lost opportunity. The plot of the movie is very sensitive and honorable which is based on the detentions of the 9/11 suspects by FBI. The director it seems did a lot of research but failed miserably in delivery. On the one hand, it shows how FBI started detaining the suspects post the attack without any evidence and on the other hand it shows how the FBI is handcuffed when they have enough evidence against a terrorist. Not only this, what seemed to be an utter foolishness was that the wife of the lead terrorist / actor was a human resource activist who knew that her husband was a terrorist but kept mum believing that her husband would leave this black collar job and find himself a white collar one.

Anyways I am not trying to be a movie reviewer here, nor do I intend to demoralize people from watching this movie. I firmly believe in the fact that in this world reality does not exist whatever exists is perceived reality. Everything is situational. To be honest, I really enjoyed watching this movie. After spending 5 days in the lush green, state of art but deserted campus of my college, I was desperate to watch a movie. Moreover, thanks to the multiplex owners who held the strike for so long. It was on friday that Archit, my dearest friend, discovered cheap tickets online for the Sunday morning show. Watching a Yash Raj movie has always been good fun mostly because this production house spends all the money of the audience on beautiful locations abroad. I was delighted to see the New York State University campus where the lead characters of this movie studied.

One of the ads of PVR rightly says, "Real life is boring". It really is or else illogical movies like New York would not run for more than 2 days. What is wrong with the audience! when they have options to watch art in the form of Iqbal, Dor, A Wednesday, Aamir etc they watch movies which have no logic at all. I really pity the directors and producers of meaningful cinema who are able to satisfy their ego by achieving a national award for their work but poor guys are not able to satisfy the lavish needs of their wives and children as their work gets them nothing but critical acclaim.

Am I being too idiotic and stupid? I am being illogical? Maybe I am. Hopefully, you would have understood by now what kind of impact this movie had on me. Have a Great Day...!!!
