Yusuf Salman Acting was great in this movie. I think the build up with the 'nothing can go right in this movie' attitude seemed a little bit forced. even if it were slower or longer, I'd prefer some helpful characters, a couple of little things that go right once in a while (that don't go south immediately after the next minute). People like exaggeration and all good / all bad content, people like emotionally loaded revenge sequences too. This is a good movie, this is why I rated it with 8 stars, but the expectations were so built up, I felt like this was going to be a 16-star movie. so my honest rating is 8 stars, but if we're talking about "how it could be", it's practically 5 stars.
mukherjeesubham93 A film like NH10 is quite an achievement in bollywood.Thrillers like these are rarely seen in bollywood,so i want to really thank its makers (especially Anushka Sharma, i will later mention why). I have heard numerous people talking that it is a remake of Hollywood film Eden Lake.In my opinion, you shall get the same feeling when you watch Eden lake because it also borrows elements from other slasher thrillers.So, it is not really about elements. In genres like horror and slasher, the elements more or less remain same in all movies, but however good are those which ably involves the audience in it, which NH10 does, so you have the scriptwriters and the director to thank for this.Performances wise, as i had mentioned earlier i want to thank Anushka Sharma, a mainstream actress, who not only agreed to produce it, but also star in it, ensuring this movie does not go unwatched.It is also one of her most memorable and emotionally draining performances, and she does a very rare thing, carries the film on her own shoulders.The cinematography and locations are another big reasons why you relate to the film. Overall it is a rare thriller from bollywood which is intense and gripping.Absolutely recommended. Rating: 8/10
Suman C. Tharan There have been several Hollywood movies tackling the theme which involves the horrors of traveling on highways but this is fresh for Bollywood. Director Navdeep Singh, inspired from the British thriller,Eden Lake, did an excellent job of creating the realistic violent action in this slasher thriller starring Anushka Sharma. Meera (Anushka Sharma) and her loving husband Arjun (Niel Bhoopalam) are young professionals living in Gurgaon. Meera leaves a party late one evening to head back to work when she is nearly attacked violently on the way. Unable to identify the attackers, the police suggest that Arjun uses his contacts to secure a gun for Meera's protection. He feels guilty for not being with her during the attack, so he takes her on a luxurious holiday to help her get over her traumatic experience. They drive along the lonely National Highway 10 and go off track. On the way, they stop at a dhaba (roadside restaurant) where they witness a couple, Pinky and Mukesh, being violently beaten and forced into a jeep. No one around is willing to help but Arjun intervenes and gets punched in the face. Little are Arjun and Meera aware of how this is the start of their dangerous series of events.Driving away from the dhaba, the angered Arjun spot the same jeep and follow them despite Meera's plea not do so. When he catches up with the hoodlums and their abductees, he sees that the couple is still getting brutally beaten up. Arjun sees that he can't fight against the guys and decides to go back to the car. While Arjun and Meera approach to get in their car, an unexpected iron rod is swung at Arjun's face. Terrified and overwhelmed, Arjun and Meera are caught by the group. With their gun in the hands of the thugs, they are left defenseless. Furthermore, the beating and torture of the couple turns out to be an act of honor killing, by Pinky's brother, Satbir (Darshan Kumaar) and his friends. Pinky is shot and Mukesh is beaten relentlessly until he is dead. Arjun and Meera fear that they are next and manage to secure their gun by trading their car keys to the simpleton in the group. Now begins the cat and mouse chase that goes through the whole night.Fleeing on foot with the killers in their jeep, Arjun and Meera try to elude their chasers. An altercation with one of the thugs leaves Arjun stabbed in the leg. Meera has no alternative and leaves her husband under a rail bridge to seek help. She runs frantically in the dark until she reaches a hut where she sees a phone. She calls the cops and starts describing what happens, that she had witnessed a case of an honor killing. As soon as he mentions that, the man in the hut grabs the phone and hangs up. Frustrated, Meera is on the run again for a larger village when the police officer she was speaking to on the phone picks her up in his SUV. She discovers that he too, is a part of this honor killing conspiracy and is taking her to the killers. She stabs him in the eye with a pen and uses his vehicle to escape the killers who are now in hot pursuit of her. She makes her way to the nearest village where she seeks the help of the Sarpanch - village head, (Deepti Naval) who is in fact Pinky's mother who ordered the honor killing. Through her ingenuity, she escapes the Sarpanch and heads back to save Arjun. Upon reaching, she sees that he is no more. The goons have already murdered him. Meera is filled with rage. She summons all her strength and heads back to the village to confront the killers.NH 10 tries to deal with two social issues, the violent racist caste community that exist outside the city boundaries as well as the dangers of what could happen on a lonely highway. The action scenes, in the cold and barren badlands of Haryana, were very well choreographed. The pacing of the movie will keep you on the edge of your seat right to the very end. The only minor flaw in this film was the second twist where the Sarpanch turns out to be the mastermind. Having already experienced the first twist when the police officer was in on the honor killing, the second twist was rather predictable.The movie's dark tone and grungy feel is boosted with Karan Gour's soundtrack including Chhil Gaye Naina. The film does not feature your regular mainstream songs but then again, neither is this film nor Navdeep Singh, your mainstream director.
Suman Shakya "NH10" stands for a section of Highway in India where a couple witness a case of honor killing; and their run for life from the ignorant family members of a rural village sets the next two hours of the film which capsules a deadly night the couple gets to endure. In just a small capsule of time the film captures, it tries to powerfully show how honor killings still occur in the villages of India and even police watches it silently. Though the film looks dark and has unlovable moments to watch it with your family, it has a rawness and clarity seldom seen in Indian Movies. Anuska Sharma's performance is the best part of the film who just brilliantly charts the character from a normal urban working lady wanting no intrusion to a furious lady running for life. By the end, you'll feel a harrowing experience of survival when the secured life goes out of your hand and you're on a run. At this point, the film leaves you stunned and speechless.Rating: 3 stars out of 4
