GamerTab That was an excellent one.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
tongebwin Out of a thousands movies i watch never would i thought i will make a review for this majestic movie. There will be many good films out there eventually you will forget, but not this one. Flawless acting, top notched storyline. It is similar to eden lake but it is much better. Every Emotion is portrayed in this beautiful movie. This is one of the movies i will never forget. I wish there were more revenge flicks like this. The rest of the cast has done an exceptional job and full points to all the people involved in the making of this film. I would definitely recommend this movie if you have a liking for revenge flicks.Thank you Naveep Singh, for making such a resplendent movie.
mukherjeesubham93 A film like NH10 is quite an achievement in bollywood.Thrillers like these are rarely seen in bollywood,so i want to really thank its makers (especially Anushka Sharma, i will later mention why). I have heard numerous people talking that it is a remake of Hollywood film Eden Lake.In my opinion, you shall get the same feeling when you watch Eden lake because it also borrows elements from other slasher thrillers.So, it is not really about elements. In genres like horror and slasher, the elements more or less remain same in all movies, but however good are those which ably involves the audience in it, which NH10 does, so you have the scriptwriters and the director to thank for this.Performances wise, as i had mentioned earlier i want to thank Anushka Sharma, a mainstream actress, who not only agreed to produce it, but also star in it, ensuring this movie does not go unwatched.It is also one of her most memorable and emotionally draining performances, and she does a very rare thing, carries the film on her own shoulders.The cinematography and locations are another big reasons why you relate to the film. Overall it is a rare thriller from bollywood which is intense and gripping.Absolutely recommended. Rating: 8/10
TheDennisBergkampFan This is one of those movies that I honestly wanted to like. Unfortunately it turns out to be an extremely poor attempt at replicating one of those many Hollywood chase-thrillers. Kudos to Anushka though for backing something different. The thing about this type of genre is that if you are going to make a movie it is better to stick to the tried and tested formula which is, creepy locations, creepy music, average actors, lot of gore, lot of violence, revenge and lots of shock value. The fact that NH10 is a half hearted attempt at the genre makes it pretty much unwatchable. The success of movies like Gangs of Wasseypur is evidence enough that there is a market for mature content. If you make a good movie then mature audience will come. They will leave their kids at home and come but they will come. One of the biggest let-downs of the movie is the extremely poor directing. I am not someone with the pedigree to judge directing but even I could just look at the movie and say.......God that is just bad directing. Its like someone made a lot of fragments and stuck them together in a haphazard manner. What makes movies like Jeepers Creepers, The Hills have Eyes, Wrong Turn interesting is that you will find it riveting if you like that particular type of genre. NH10 is so poorly directed that at no stage do you really get into it. A lot of the locations look like stages.NH10 is supposed to be inspired from Eden Lake. Lets be honest, Eden Lake itself is not a great movie. When it came out I don't think anyone bothered to watch it. Then Fassbender became a cult actor of sorts and a lot of people watched Eden Lake just to figure out if Fassbender always had brilliance written all over him. In case you are not aware Fassbender has very little screen time in Eden Lake. Its all about the female lead and the main villain who has since gone on to star in movies like Unbroken. What makes this particular type of genre appealing is that at some stage the victim, repeatedly pushed against the wall , decides to fight back. In Eden Lake there is no fight back. Fassbender and the girl run for all of 90 minutes and then surrender without a fight. Fortunately in NH10 at some stage Anuskha says..........Screw it........I am going to fight back. So there are some sequences in the movie which are quite watchable. There is one scene near the end when Anushka picks up a kid and threatens to throw him in a well. For the movie to have been any good every scene should have been elevated to that level. The acting is nothing to write home either. The best actor in the cast is probably Deepti Naval in her blink and you will miss it role. Anushka Sharma is not a bad actor but she is not in the same league as the Richa Chadda's and the Divya Dutta's. I don't think she was the best fit for the movie. Some of Anushka's scenes were laughably bad. The scene when she decides to fight back near the end and then tries to laugh and cry at the same time. God...... that was bad acting. A better director, better actors, better storyline, more gore, more satisfying revenge and it could have been really good.The violence is too mellowed down for the genre and there are far too many plot holes even for a Bollywood movie. It kind of reminds you of Bollywoods first attempt at Zombie-Comedy, Go Goa Gone. Good attempt but falls miserably short of the mark.
Suman C. Tharan 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.
