Highway film review and thoughts

Oh what a film!

Its truly some great cinema. I just went to watch this film considering some good reviews on facebook. Had never thought that I would be writing about it soon.

The best thing about this film is some breathtaking cinematography...great shots of Indian countryside and Himalayas...so inspiring that I am considering hitting the highway tomorrow...really. One feeling that you get at a lot of places in the film is to break free.

Alia Bhatt and Randeep have perhaps given their best perfomances ever. The script of the film would have been very difficult to carry but the Director does it amazingly well. Portraying a relationship between a contract killer and a rich lass is extremely difficult...but if flows in this film. Randeep plays the perfect Haryanvi Bhati...accent is perfect.

The Stockholm syndrome is tough to depict...but it just happens in the film.

Some scenes in the film are extremely memorable...whether its Alia playing with the pistol as it snows or its Randeep Hooda breaking down towards the end. Zabardast. All the more the movie is very realistic.

Also, the film is about transformation as Alia transforms from a carefree rich girl to someone who can take on the world and break free. And Randeep from a cold contract killer to someone extremely soft.

This film is worth the hours spent in the theatre.

We need more of such cinema. Great work.
