HIGHWAY
Hindi|2014| Dir:Imtiaz Ali
This is not a review but an appraisal by a fan after watching it twice. There is a scene in Highway where'Mahabir', the tough guy played by Randeep Hooda, just couldnt control his painful thoughts about his mother and tears just flows out of control&also there is this moment where Veera (Alia) laughs out alone watching the eccentric stream splashing through an ardent rock and her laugh turns out into tears. These moments can only be filmed by an Independent mind and this can be surely called as an Independent film. A classic example of stockholm syndrome and a really refreshing road experience which stands superior to a lot of so called Road movies.
ALIA BHATT
One cannot imagine another girl portraying Veera after watching this film , as Alia easliy fits into an array of emotions, she is terribly strong at what she is doing. I havent recently watched such a brave female portrayal and Veera will remain for a long time.
A R Rahman
The tracks were already playing in mind before entering the hall, but other than a film album, this film is musical in every bit. Each song is opening a fresh window to a new story.'Tu Kuja'played at an unexpected situation is clearly the continuation of expression of Sufism , the presence of divine and something beyond that. The audio experience created together by the musician and sound designer is just mind blowing.
As many scenes were freshly shot amidst the journey it may not be following a concrete script but it offers a different experience, much more realism and some thing yet to be filled as it is in the case of a real journey. The visuals are breath taking, whether it be the highways of punjab or the hilly terrains of Himachal.
From its lengthy silent shots in its starting to the quickly moving scenes towards its end, film carries us from the mindset of the captivated to a horizon of freedom and bondage. The missing feel of companionship was strongly felt in the climax and it was equally painful and peaceful to watch it. Highway may not be a perfect film in its evaluation, but it is a must must watch for many reasons.
