How their journey of selfdiscovery ends is the rest of the story. Mahabir finds a means to rekindle hope for love in his life through Veera. Veera, a prisoner in her cushioned pampered rich life back home finds freedom in the kidnapped rough and tumble that she is pushed into. As the two travers across the northern scenic parts of India in a truck, Alia's Veera and Randeep's Mahabeer strike a bond that goes beyond their equation of tormentor and victim. Initially resistant and repentant at venturing out in the dead of the night and getting kidnapped, Alia soon sets into an episode of the Stockholm syndrome, developing a liking for her abductor Mahabir (played by Randeep). Imthiaz Ali's latest offering is meditative and sublime, a tad slacking, yet thoroughly satisfying experience.Īlia is a rich dad's daughter who is abducted by a set of contract killers' days before her wedding. Yet there was a smile on my face and warmth in my heart, for its box office performance notwithstanding Highway is a film that is brave. Half way through Highway it struck me like a bolt of thunder that this film might not make money at the box office, it might just end being the first major film to flop at the ticket counters this year. Review Highway & earn 20 DM Points.* Review Submit If you are willing to go down this road, take the Highway!” Rahman's wonderful music makes up for the flaws. “A distinct departure from Imtiaz Ali's usual romances with brilliant performances by Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda. maybe this feeling is just a passing phase. She wishes this journey to never end. Maybe the Highway will not really change her. She does not want to go back but she also doesn't want to reach where he is taking her. It is in this captivity that she, for the first time, feels free. He will do whatever it takes to see this through. But as the days pass by, the scenery changes, the light changes, the sun sets and rises and the air changes, she feels that she has changed as well. Gradually, a strange bond begins to develop between the victim and the oppressor. For him sending her back is not an option. His links in the corridors of power make ransom out of the question. The girl is a big industrialist’s daughter. Her life will never be the same again. The same night, the gang is in panic. Suddenly, her life is swung away from the brocade and jewellery of marriage to the harsh brutality of abduction. They are about to get married in four days. A city girl – young, full of life – is on the highway at night.
