New York is the first Hindi film to have a production schedule there. In preparation for his role as an American Muslim of Indian origin, Abraham studied the Quran (he had likewise studied Sanskrit and learned to play the flute for his role in Water (2005).

Khan had to submit his script for approval from U.S. authorities before making the film. He stated: “We had to submit the script to seek permission to shoot in Guantanamo as well as in the States and we got their green signal to go ahead very easily. The film may be about 9/11 and what happens post it, but they did not object to our theme and did not even raise any questions. The US officials were very cooperative and we shot for around 3 days at this high-profile prison.”

New York Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.8 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 10,222.

this was a very sad but great movie i don’t know it could be more on the actuality side of things. I mean i don’t want the FBI or HLS breaking down my front door of my house. but who really knows. anyway great story the producers were amazing at presenting this. had great acting. samir was a great choice for his roll i think that he should have been a older guy maybe a professor that would have made a better story like a sleeper cell with a professor recruiting foreign students to plot and terrorize. the FBI agents were just stupid i mean who really would act like that. I think there should have been some more technology in this. I understand the budget was probably low and stuff but come on if a terrorist cell were actually working im sure they would be using some type of GPS or like a RFID or something to keep a track on everyone. any way good movie

Critics Rating by ASHOK NAYAK, from owrunning give 3.1 star out of 5 Star.
