Movie Review: Highway (2014)


Been busy for sometime, so was not able to write much on the blog or FB. But hopefully, from this time onward I will try to review all the titles I will watch...

Highway: Its neither romantic nor thriller. This movie fails horribly at developing any relationship between the main two characters. It is as stupid as it can get. There is so much focus over Alia Bhatt (aka Veera) that other characters somehow get lost in many many transitions of story and scenes. Randeep Hooda (aka Mahabir) gets high five from me for acting but his character lacks any logical or practical point of views when it comes to delivering the decisions or keep audience in focus or grip. At one point Veera run away from her captors, and comes back!? Really!? Who in this world would do that ? Who goes back to kidnapper ? Why ?

Kidnapping looks like a must needed reason in the script for getting both main characters together. This subject in particular has been taken way too easy. Imtiaz Ali (Director) was either ignorant or wanted to create comedy out of it. Its more like combination of Dil hai ke manta nahi & Jab we met but with different end.

Music is good (A.R. Rahman) and so as all the places where the shooting took place. Well may be that's the only thing I enjoyed in the movie. You come out in the end with a headache while still thinking, what happened to other people in the movie or may be what's the point ? Whatever it was, it was definitely not romantic.

Avoid going:
