Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Where it falters is in the way its screenplay turns fluffy—it takes away from the necessary tautness a thriller like this requires. Jan 27, 2018 Full Review Lisa Tsering The Hollywood Reporter 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. Jul 2, 2009 Full Review Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Times 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. Rated: 1/5 Jul 1, 2009 Full Review Maitland McDonagh Miss FlickChick 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. Jul 2, 2009 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A captivating, gripping and thoroughly provocative thriller. Rated: 8.75/10 Jun 27, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Ahmed M 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/16 Full Review yash b Pretty heavy handed movie, but overall pretty good.
