Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

westsideschl A totally irresponsible storyline of the well known Stockholm syndrome where the kidnapped begins to identify with the kidnappers and even joins in their criminal activities. The kidnappers were even willing to shoot at innocent quick gas/shop convenience store customers and workers in this scenario. The sad part of this story is that the writer/director has no concept of what almost always happens in reality with this event. 95+% of the time the kidnapped is either dead or psychological traumatized or forever isolated from family. This film romanticized such an event. Even filming in beautiful landscapes to make it seem fairytale like. And, sadly film can be a motivator for some. Seems like this writer/director is in it for the money no matter the consequences.

ragpap93 Good plot, had heart, nice scenery throughout the film and lots of effort must have been put in it but for every well executed scene or great dialogue there is also a bland dialogue. When one of the kidnappers shoves Veera against the windshield putting her face to face with her fiancé, the fiancé was like "I told you so". Was he supposed to be an ass or is it the adrenaline. How one would react in such a situation is really unpredictable, but it sets the mean-spirited tone of the movie.I am not an expert on Stockholm syndrome but it felt too early for it to set in. Without even knowing anything about her captors to empathize with them she goes back to them when given the chance to run. After all this happens only then does she start seeing the captors' desperate state. The monologues of Veera was silly yet amusing. What with all that talk about hotel check-inns, hilarious. She becomes annoying and intolerable. Talking non-stop. Then she was given a second chance at escape when she hid from the cops. The truth comes out. Mahabir was chewing something while Veera talks about her uncle presenting her with imported chocolates when she was nine while she sat on his lap. Then it suddenly turns dark when she says that the uncle made her sit on his lap in the bathroom. Mahabir's chewing paused. Apparently her mother tells her to keep quiet about it.It was a shocker. It was obviously a movie for adults from the start but Bollywood movies in the past avoided such dark themes. Lately Bollywood movies went deep and dark. I honestly don't know if it is a good scene or not. Mahabir had his own tragic backstory.Mahabir literally hands Veera over to the cops but she returns to him. They would settle down happily but Mahabir gets a sinking feeling that something was going to go wrong and then it does. A sniper shoots and kills him. Veera was rescued. The way people were shunning her mention of her time spent in captivity was really frustrating yet cinematic. Then the uncle appears. She reveals the childhood incident to the whole household. Awkward and cringing it was to watch but it was the confrontation one was looking forward to since the mention of it.The uncle gets up and leaves. Lots of crying. The plot drags on to a disappointing climax with no justice done to the uncle for his actions but the world's a dangerous place even in your own house.It was a roller coaster ride and I think 6 rating is fair as the pros only just exceeds the cons.

venkat-joshi-2006 Only good thing about this film is Randeep Hooda's Acting - Direction & stry bakwaas...Sorry to say this - i am also a big fan of such new films ! But overall the director seems to be confused - lot of loopholes. Fifty minutes in to the movie I started to ask the question 'What is going on here? Where is the movie I was promised by the trailer?' Nearly all the scenes that were in the trailer have been played out by now.I have been fortunate enough to know people who have made 15 minute short films with more sense and better vision. But in spite of repeated temptations to leave the theatare, I survived till the end, mainly because I hoped something will happen. but that's the trouble.finally i left

hardshiv15 Highway - story of a girl who develops Stockholm Syndrome. Like other movies of Imtiaz, its characters also encounter themselves on the road however this isn't romantic. Based on episode of the same name on Rishtey (Zee TV).Summary: Veera and her fiancé, Vinay, go for a drive when they are accosted by thugs. They kidnap Veera. Mahabir (Randeep Hooda), the head of the group plans to sell Veera but the plan is put on hold as he learns that her father is a VIP in Delhi. Veera and Mahabir spend time together escaping to another place. Veera confides to him that she was raped as a child. She's surprised at herself that Mahabir is the only person she has ever spoken about it to. She tells him that she feels very safe when he is around because he would not let any harm befall her. Having a change of heart, Mahabir asks her to escape and return to her home. But will she?Great cinematography - to see all this and the end is the best part. Every scene, dialogue seem natural. Music by AR Rehman, lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil (same as ROCKSTAR) and song "Patakha Guddi" is awesome. I strongly recommend to watch this movie. Go Go Go...
