Avantika is a teacher in a university in Delhi. She has come back from New York where she teaches, because her father has suffered a heart attack. During this period, she meets a temporary Professor called Ehsaan Khan. Soon they begin seeing each other and love blossoms. A few months later, Avantika receives a call from her university in New York, asking her to come back for the Fall Semester. Avantika breaks the news to Ehsaan. He in turn, tells her he doesn't mind coming to the States with her, to find a job. But first they need to get married. Soon after the marriage, they leave to start a new life in New York. They buy a house in an Indian neighbourhood and move in. Just as they are setting up home, their conservative Muslim neighbours, Hamid and Anjum, invite them over for dinner. The next morning, Salma, one of the women Avantika met the night before at the dinner, visits her under the pretext of gifting her sweets. When Avantika invites her in, Salma tells her that she is in grave danger. Nothing is what it seems. Salma pleads with Avantika to help her. What follows next, is a series of incidents that sucks Avantika into a vortex of danger and intrigue. As her life spirals out of control, Avantika realizes that she is a pawn in a huge game. And no one is to be trusted. |

severe flaws |
PS |
|
Director needs to do some homework before starting the movies. It has severe flaws like a person cannot call 911, saif after killing cops roaming freely on roads, vivek does not want to go to police and work undercover and is responsible for so many deaths which could have been avoided. |

Decent thriller |

It is a decent movie if you see it as just a masala thriller but if u start finding logic in it and it has so many glaring flaws. Some more research was needed from director. |

Extremely serious |

The topic and theme of the movie is sensitive and controversial yet you cannot ignore it for a long time. This is a very comprehensive movie of what goes around the world. Watch it once. |

Engrossing |

The screenplay is taut and engrossing. Good production values. The story is nothing new but the narrative keeps it interesting. Fairly good acting. Must be commended for choosing this theme and making a decent movie. |

Another Terrorizing Film |
Sotaria |
|
Unlike "New York," this film was not pro-terrorists, but neither was it particularly damning of it, nor interesting. The plot actually seemed interesting enough as Kareena realizes she has been used by a terrorist to get US citizenship. The abuse of women by Jihadist is shown in the movie, but trying to make Saif's character sympathetic only makes terrorists look sympathetic and the ending was cliche and over dramatized. Not a great film, but interesting nevertheless. |
