NH10

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.

A good honest attempt by the director, producer and the lead actress, but the story and the characters let down the film badly. Every character is a cliché - every character behaves in a manner which is quite ridiculous. I did not feel that Anushka was in any real danger at any time. The gang chasing her was so incompetent. I did not feel any sympathy towards her or Neil. They had themselves to blame for the peril they were in. The only good scene in the entire movie is a sequence right at the end - but that is too little, too late to rescue the film. I was expecting a lot darker and serious movie - disappointed.

Lighting up her cigarette with the matchstick lying deserted from its owner, Anushka, with the slightest hold on to the edge of her sanity and an enigmatic facial expression, picks up the inanimate steel built strut from the ground and with the shrill, clanging sound of the steel being dragged along the concrete road, she lays down the groundwork for her revenge.

Navdeep Singh has not only made the most out of a road trip gone wild but has also filled in each of the scenes a continual thrill, of psyche driving in a meandering path of moral uncertainty and of the exceptional screenplay with Darshan Kumaar as the village ruffian and Sharma as the shackle breaker.

Keeping itself as the very point of interest throughout its complete time span of a near-2 hour crime drama, the movie becomes more and more worthy of your extol as you seek deeper through the story. While staying perfectly true to realism, NH10, with excellent direction, a finely crafted story and brilliant performances, shines as Singh's undiluted masterpiece.

9/10.

One of the great pluses here is "NH10" didn't feel the need to wedge in a song & dance number like they do in 99% of Bollywood films. With it, I wouldn't have been able to sit all the way through. Generally, the acting isn't bad; kinda weak, though, in the male lead. I recommended this R film (profanity, violence) simply for the fact it told the story without a ridiculous forced song & dance number and it moved along swiftly.

A nightmarish vacation packed with gruesome action and pulsating thrills. Its a horror-thriller which showcases the inequality of women in our society and the ill treatment dished out to them for deviating from the norms of "society". A slow paced action after an explosive opening. Gripping plot with good support cast. Dialogues and language are only for adults. A good watch not the usual merry go round off beat comedies thrown at your face. It's in tune with Hollywood thrillers although it is not well paced. However a good watch, Anuskha seemingly does well in her city girl avatar however, doesn't have that wild streak in her. Grab a bite and join the fun, start the engines and dive on NH10. Highlighting the our social-evils the movie succeeds in reforming the minds of our youth.
