4/1/2024 0 Comments Highway 2014 hindi movieIf the road seems romantic to Veera (“I don’t want to get to where we’re going”), it’s only a dead end to Mahabir, a poor man on the run. The fact of the abduction means that a creepiness hovers over the romance, which has other obstacles to overcome, most important the class difference. She begins to fall for the brooding, monosyllabic Mahabir (Randeep Hooda), one of her kidnappers.Īt this point, “Highway” morphs, sort of, into a lighter, slightly more comic film, a road movie with plentiful scenery, some dancing and some yuks. “Maybe I’ve lost my mind,” she says, and maybe she has. The naturalism and violence (and threat of rape) in these scenes make them an uncomfortable prelude to what comes next: a love story. “Where am I?” croons the singer on the soundtrack. She escapes briefly, running herself ragged on a salt flat under a star-speckled sky. Bhatt convincingly shows us the fear in Veera’s eyes and her hopelessness.
