Probably the best 3 things about the film are: 1. Randeep Hooda delivers good stuff but it looked like he had restrictions. Ali Bhatt is better than her previous stint, but not great. Cinematography is good, so is the art setup. There comes a point where we even doubt the characters' intentions, but then again, they are directed cunningly. The first half is purely fictitious, second being more like a setup. And then, Ali thought A R Rahman would charge up the score & music, of which the former is nothing ground-breaking. The number crunches from 6 to 3 to 2 to 3 to 3 to 2 to 2 to 1 to eventually 0. He succeeds to a level where for the sake of companionship of the two lead characters, a third guy switches ON & OFF in a parade of sequences, showing how poor the editing is. Imtiaz Ali entered the scene and polished it with his imagination, sculpting the plot with nodes of useless emotions on both the characters so that his audience unknowingly perceive the farce that there is something deep to whatever rubbish is going on the screen. The writers were running low on cash, so they borrowed the base idea and started writing a script with clichГ©s. Then comes the aforementioned life-changing trip (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, North 24 Kaatham in Malayalam all say the same thing) that they accidentally take for the rest of the flick. Both the main characters of this film think they connect with each other in this way. I am literally fed up of films, plays, music and books depicting child abuse again & again & again showing how oppressive such lives can be. This ordeal Imtiaz Ali has cooked up with so sophistication. If Alia Bhatt's character had Googled how a highway trip around India can change someone's monotonous life and help in discovering meaning to life, we could've saved this ordeal. On the whole, 'Highway' is near-perfection. He enacts his part with amazing understanding. She delivers a brilliant, sterling performance as the vibrant yet haunted protagonist. Performance-Wise: Alia Bhatt triumphs with 'Highway'. He's in top-form! Anil Mehta'a Cinematography captures every frame magnificently. It's the diversity between these two-characters that makes this road-movie so engaging. The protagonist, Veera, played by a sterling Alia Bhatt, is a character who finds freedom while being kidnapped, while the character of Mahabir, played by Randeep Hooda, is in search for love & respect. It creates a world of diverse characters who eventually develop a bond.

'Highway' is amongst Imtiaz Ali's finest works. As the initial days pass, she begins to develop a strange bond with her kidnapper. 'Highway' Synopsis: Right before her wedding, a young woman finds herself abducted and held for ransom. Also, Alia Bhatt pitches in a brilliant performance in the central role. Here's a film that celebrates love & tragedy, with skill. The talented storyteller delivers a beautiful, tragic film that left me spell-bound.
