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.
