so i just finished watching New York, i waited for a good quality print to watch it...

i heard alot about katrina's performance in the movie, how she ended up shedding tears seeing her own performance, praised her director for taking the best out of her...ppl/critics saying she finally came out of her shell...even after reading all that, i kept my expectations low....
but still i found nothing special about her in NY....the only thing i see improvement in is her hindi....otherwise she was pretty mediocre....the scene where the twin towers falls, and they see the news on tv....and she cries on john's shoulder, that scene was performed very very poorly from her...
the onli part i liked her in was wen she follows neil into his room with a gun, and asks him "kaun ho tum", and we come to know that she knows her husband is a terrorist...that was the onli seen where i cud say, yes, she performed it well....otherwise she was how she is in every other movie of hers, minus singing, dancing and beautiful clothes/jewellry....
as for the other performances, i liked irfan khan the most...and den neil came 2nd...john wasnt all that great either, he onli performed well in the scenes where he was tortured in prison...

megha take a look at this link.. some like minded ppl hv given their two cents abt NY n kat in this thread including me lol
and i wud like to add ..
u kno wen rahul dravid plays or tendulkar plays , ppl expect them to score century and anything less than that is failure and bad performance.. bt wen it comes to tailenders from whom u dnt expect any runs if they make some odd 30 runs yu start praising them..
i guess ppl thot kat cannot act and since she did better than her previous performances u get to see so much praise lol
and i agree with yu abt the scenes yu mentioned! those were really poorly performed scenes..

I agree with both of u...Kat wasnt that great in the movie, but wasn't bad either...This was by far her best performance...

I think Kat's acting and her character were the weakest links in the movie....just my opinion

Nope - she was barely passable.She has definetly improved tho.
I think people have gotten so used to seeing her non acting that something like NY makes it seem like an Oscar worthy performance for her. Any other actress like Kareena or Aishwarya or even the new ones like Deepika or Sonam would have been ripped to bits if they had acted like Katrina has done in NY.

not only her hindi but her expressions have improved alot as well..the scene where she sees john in the building...it was performed really well by her...she didnot have to speak there but her eyes expressed soo much...i think she has improved alot n certainly there is no one stopping her now...

it was certainly alot better than sonam's performance in delhi 6 lol...n aishwarya...check her out in dil ka rishta...albela..n other crap movies..she has never been the best actress ..n in some of her earlier projects as named above she was even worse than kat...

Exactly koiza totally agree hun👏👏
but hun jeulous people well always be after her because they are Katrina haters na so they well never accept that she have proved she is an awesome actress! Katrina is soo natureal in her performances she is not over reacting like some others she is awesome and mind blowing but some people are so jeulous so they well always keep saying crap about Kat!
Katrina simply rocked in NY she was just perfect and out standing awesome mind blowing what expresions she was just too good! she is soo graceful! hats of to Katrina👏
