Watch NH10 For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good movie but grossly overrated

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.

Since i saw the trailer of N.H. 10, i wanted to watch it, because i thought this is a very new territory for Bollywood and i just wanted to see did they manage to pull this off. I think they did a good job here and opened a door of more such movies which deals with demons inside normal people.The movie is about a Delhi couple on a journey to somewhere they can have a good time. Little did they know that their path will cross with trouble, a trouble that can claim your life.The film is dark all along. It displays the difficulties women experience in current society on different levels, people killing people for absurd reasons, crowd watching everything that is happening because when the one person, who stood up against it will end up with the same fate.These type of survival stories should be appreciated in cinema, specially Bollywood because of limited number of such films and those which are there does not always tightly directed. They always have a problem such as loose story line, unimportant revenge dialogues and a climax which does not give the satisfaction to the audience.Well, this film gave me a satisfaction that i have seen something new and i liked it enough.Not to forget, Anushka was awesome, so was Neil Bhoopalan. Other cast such as Darshan Kumar did a great job too.Go for this movie if you have a strong heart to make it till the end and you like movies where victims are intelligent people not just screaming dumb people.

NH10 is a film staying true to its genre and certainly not for the typical Bollywood audience. Its raw, violent, gripping and showcases the powerhouse Anushka Sharma who probably gives her best performance till date. The story follows a couple Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam) and Meera (Anushka Sharma) who go out on a road trip to celebrate Meera's birthday. Things go horribly wrong when they cross roads with a gang of aggressive men who were torturing another couple for some personal reasons. Arjun is hell bent to interfere with their matter and our reaction is just like Meera's shouting "why Arjun why??" Anyway if he had left them alone we would not have edge-of-seat experience that follows. Things turnout to be even more scary with we get deep insight into the height of corruption and household violence in rural India. And in the end, the film speaks highly of Woman Empowerment with a rather shaky approach. The film starts a bit slow, but I feel it was necessary for character build-up. The patient wait is rewarded with an amazing finale featuring the bad-ass Anushka Sharma unleashed. I would gladly watch the last 10 minutes of the film on repeat and cheer up like a kid. Her every expression be it fear, pain, agony or desperation were spot on. The screenplay is not quite unpredictable but it somehow manages to keep you on your toes with the atmosphere and background score. Many of the character behaviors feel illogical like Arjun showing off his macho- ism trying to face the goons single handed. Also in finale it anyone of those goons could have easily slipped away from the street, a single SUV could not have entirely blocked the road. Anyways ignoring a few loopholes here and there NH10 is still a fine film. It could have a lot more with better screenplay and direction. Overall its a breath of fresh in Bollywood and a satisfying thriller.RATING: [3/5]

First things first, I was a little doubtful of this movie when I was purchasing the tickets because of all the negative reviews I had been hearing on the radio, on TV, and from friends, etc. Turns out, these were the best 100 bucks (yes, 100 bucks; perks of living in Greater Noida) I have spent in a while. The movie was brilliant! A high society couple hailing from a metropolitan of North India head out with nothing but a great weekend on their mind. Little do they know that this adventure road trip of theirs would be met by an incident, pertaining to one of the many social evils that still prevail in the rural parts of India, which would turn their simple journey on National Highway 10 (often abbreviated as NH 10) into a life-altering experience.I was seriously blown away by the acting and direction, which defy most typical Bollywood movie template where the protagonist fights off three dozen gravity-defying goons of the villain but its a neck to neck battle with the antagonist himself, while his lady love (or rather a sidekick with almost no role to play in the movie) dances around needlessly and both survive in the end with a happily-ever-after ending. Obviously, it is seriously not meant for people who love Chennai Express-type movies. If you still decide to give it a shot, expecting even a pinch of romance, believe me you will be disheartened and disappointed with it, just like the couple sitting behind me who walked out of the theater in under 15 minutes. I liked it because it had a beginning, a mid, and an end. And all the three were properly executed, and did not completely defy logics OR physics, as is the case with most action Bollywood movies nowadays. Anushka was outstanding as the main lead, and other characters were pretty believable too. Nothing felt out of the place. And since its kind of a thriller, I really enjoyed the natural and expected behavior from the actors and I must say that in those regards, this movie even pips some Hollywood same-genre movies in which people are shown doing dumb things and act as if they are devoid of any and all common sense when in a life-threatening situation. I must say I was intrigued as well as immersed in the movie, especially in the beginning and in the end. The cast as well as the director were successful in keeping me from getting bored throughout the movie. And so, I hereby declare it a movie which is a bang for your (the no-nonsense and serious movie-goers') buck, and deserves my 9 rating stars.Just a heads up, the movie is rated A, probably because of the one cuss word which is muted out towards the ending. Or maybe its because of violence, which most reviewers here are dubbing as "not- for-the-faint-hearted" *shrugs*. But meh.... No nudity or obscene shots, it is okay to watch it with your family, in my opinion.
