Highly Overrated But Still Good

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

What stands out to me in the movie are cast, costumes, script and dialogues & songs - magically weaved into each other! The film itself does remarkably well in redefining the meaning of what safety is and where freedom could be found.Direction and Writing : Prodigious - forces you to respect Imtiaz again for his originality.Cast: Just seems so neat. Esp. every supporting Bhati has done a great job! Hooda is surreal in blending into the character throughout. This character should have lionized Randeep more in the industry. And, Alia (with my prejudged idea of her being less than acceptable for her skills) actually is spot on in some scenes with fabulous and natural acting, a mixture of innocence and childlike foolishness.Music/Songs: Rustic, earthy, fuses so very well into the story!Cinematography : Well done with some great shots at the Himalayas!7.6 is an underrating and hence I want to give full marks to take the score up. Just cannot think of any points to hold back. One of the best original works I have seen recently!

this movie is totally a waste of time. according to me who has created this bitch movie would really a bitch. useless , worthless , without any motive this movie has created and the moron actress has done the movie just for money. this movie has no sense no concept and no idea i think these types of movies should not be clear from the sensors board. there must be penalty on both director and producer for wasting the public time. the entire story is about a girl who is seeking happiness in a criminal not in his home. spoiler The pronoun-filled line is one of the most cited among fans as being confusing at best, and an outright mistake at worst. But the almost imperceptible flick of the pen in hand reveals the "they" in his sentence to be not "the investors," but the experts riding in the Jeep ahead. The terrible wording butchers the line entirely; if it were clearer, then the later scenes of Grant, and Malcolm being unconvinced while saw only profits would be twice as interesting. As it stands, it's a line best ignored in a movie famed for its quotable monologues.

My dad has discovered Indian movies- thanks to my obsession. For Christmas, he asked me to buy him an Indian movie I thought he should watch. I bought him this one. He thought it was brilliant.There is a lot of trepidation about Indian movies in the west. They are sometimes viewed as light fluffy silly movies where people break out into song and dance.If you wanted to know what Indian cinema is capable of - watch this movie. It will leave you with no doubt as to the quality of film making currently taking place in India. This is a stunningly beautiful movie. There is a scene on a salt flat that will take your breath away - and is the reason this movie should be seen on the big screen.The highway is obviously one of the main characters, and the movie is almost a travelogue.The characters and the plot and the problems that the characters are dealing with are really very heavy. The way this story unfolds and how we learn about who these characters are and what their back stories are is extremely well done.The horror of it all doesn't become apparent until we understand what the freedom of the highway really is for these characters.This is hands down one of my favorite Indian movies. As soon as I saw it - I knew I needed to see it again - and again and that I would probably never tire of it. It is that good. If you only see one Indian film. See this one. It's worth watching.

Highway- 2014 Director: Imtiaz Ali Watching Imtiaz Ali's movie is like reading a book. Every emotion is expressed in such a way that you remain in a long hangover even days after watching his creation & the major credit goes to cinematographer as well .. So Mahabir- Randeep Hooda has always been a very fine actor. It feels like he didn't wash his face and hair just to develop that character and situation in the movie. The thing which touched Veera's (Alia Bhatt) heart was that she was not secure at her home but even though she was kidnapped by a gangster like Mahabir and was still secure with him. Hats off to Imtiaz Ali for the beautiful and a reality based story. not to forget, the songs and music was AWESOME.
