Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
New York	John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan	Interesting storyline, bravura performances, deft direction	Second half could've been shorter	Excellent weekend. Friday was 75% - 80% +, Saturday was 90% + and Sunday was 95% + [even 100%] across multiplexes. The first weekend is rocking. Is the first Hindi film [after the strike has been called off] to lure audiences back to theatres
