Highway movie review

Imtiaz Ali has garnered a lot of fans for the unique and generation X love stories he portrays in his movies. In “Jab Me Met”, “Love Aaj Kal” and “Rockstar”, Imtiaz brought unconventional romances to the fore which brought his movies commercial success as well as critic appreciation.

Story Outline
A rich brat Veera (Alia Bhatt) who is going to get married, to escape the tedious wedding ceremonies goes on a secret drive with her fiance. On their way back home, they stop at a petrol pump where they witness a robbery.

Actor Performance
Alia Bhatt who is radically different role from the one she did in “Student of Year” manages to have a decent outing in the movie. In her acting, her inexperience still shows, nevertheless her efforts and talent manages to shine.Randeep Hooda once again is brilliant in his role.

Positive points
The scenery and the landscapes portrayed in the movie are a visual delight.

Negative Points
The only aspect in which Imtiaz falls short is - the screenplay which unfortunately is the glue which holds the other good components together.

Verdict
Though, with Highway Imtiaz falls short of his own high standards, the movie still because of its visual and audio delight is a one-time watch.
