Pune Highway

Just watched Pune Highway and at first I thought it was a murder mystery but it's not. It's more of a drama that slowly unfolds, and honestly, I kinda liked that by the end.

It's about friends stuck in a crisis, and things get really tense. The acting's solid, and it messes with your head in a subtle way. Not a typical thriller, but it keeps you hooked with a tense mix of fear and guilt, but it's also darkly funny in parts. The performances are uniformly great and emotionally on point.

Overall an unusual and compelling film to unpack. These days those are few and far between. Highly recommend if you like the unexpected.

Pune Highway masterfully blends dark humour with nail-biting suspense, pulling off a tonal balance that's rarely achieved in thrillers. What begins as an awkward, almost comedic situation quickly takes a sharp, unnerving turn. The writing is clever and layered, slowly peeling back the characters' fears and flaws without relying on cliché. The confined setting only adds to the tension, giving the film an intimate, theatrical feel. There's a sense of unease that builds quietly, erupting in unexpected ways. It's witty without being forced, shocking without being cheap, and overall, a refreshing and intelligent thriller that stays with you long after.

Stars: 8 Stars.

The best part of this movie is the star cast. Amir Sadh is brilliant as always and watch it for him.

Jim Sarbh looked lost and didn't do justice to his role.

The movie is fine, creates a lot of suspense but the ending seems abrupt.

I had a lot of expectations from this film but turned out to be disappointing. Seems they wanted to create something epic but it failed.

The chemistry didn't seem good. The friendship didn't seem genuine.

Nicky's character had a lot of scope but they could not do much with it.

Seemed the writer spent hours to work on the script and later got exhausted and left the script.

If you're an Amit Sadh fan, Pune Highway is proof that the Amit Sadh × Prime Video pairing is quickly becoming an unmissable combination. There's something about the way the platform gives him space to explore layered, intense characters-and Pune Highway is no exception.

Yes, the first 30 minutes may feel like a slow burn. The plot simmers more than it sizzles at first, and you might question where it's headed. But give it time-because once it takes off, it really takes off. What follows is a nerve-wracking, claustrophobic thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end.

Amit Sadh delivers a masterclass in restraint and tension. He doesn't need theatrics-his eyes do the talking, and his silences often say more than words. He's at once vulnerable and volatile, making you feel every beat of the chaos unfolding on screen.

If you're looking for a gripping ride and a performance that leaves a mark, Pune Highway is worth the watch. Just remember: once Amit Sadh and Prime Video come together, you don't skip-you buckle in.

"Na story ka pata, na character - sab hawa mein flow ho rahe hain."

I had hopes. Not high hopes, but at least something watchable. Pune Highway, however, turned out to be a chaotic circus dressed as a thriller. It's like someone put together a theatre rehearsal, added some random dialogues, dim lighting, and called it cinema.

The story? Still searching.

The characters? Lost on the same highway, I guess.

The pacing? Slow enough to make a snail yawn.

The drama? Over-the-top notanki, without any soul.

The suspense? Non-existent. Even Google Maps has more plot twists.

The whole movie moves with zero direction - neither literally nor emotionally. It's not just boring, it's frustratingly pointless. If you're looking for a masterclass on how to waste talented actors and test audience patience, this might be it.

Verdict: Watch only if your WiFi is down and you've finished watching paint dry.

Perfect combo of boring, slow, and bekaar.
