Plot

Meera (Anushka Sharma) is a contemporary woman happily married to her loving husband Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam). They are a perfect modern couple with high class living and corporate jobs along with a well settled back set. In the course of their routine life Meera witnesses a glimpse of the unsafe environment of Gurgaon when she gets attacked with the intension of molestation. While Meera goes into the trauma of the incident her husband Arjun plans a weekend vacation for her birthday to cheer her up.

The plot in the second half is full of twists and turns. The road trip of the couple turns into a nightmare when they are struck by unusual circumstances. The couple meet some rave and nasty people who are involved in Honour Killing and they helplessly dive into a troublesome situation. The couple goes through a hell ride and the night turns out to be the longest night of their life. The representation of a village with backward thinking, prevalence of the cruelty in mankind to the extent that it is okay for Satbir (Darshan Kumaar) to take his sister's life with no hesitation or guilt is awfully shocking. What the dreadful road trip has it for Meera and Arjun is a further watch in the film.

One line Review: Exceptional performances by the leads, realistic setting, strong plot and implementation of the script. Positive Points: The dexterous depiction of the brutal realities of the societal norms and orthodox mind sets of people. The dark plot keeps you hooked throughout the movie. Stupendous performance by Anushka Sharma. The exemplary representation of an unsafe setting of Gurgaon, where the girl takes all the stakes on herself when faced by the brutality of the world. Negative Points: Some unconvincing sequences in the first as well as second half of the movie that takes you away from the plot though for a brief time. Plot: Meera (Anushka Sharma) is a contemporary woman happily married to her loving husband Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam). They are a perfect modern couple with high class living and corporate jobs along with a well settled back set. In the course of their routine life Meera witnesses a glimpse of the unsafe environment of Gurgaon when she gets attacked with the intension of molestation. The pathetic explanation by the cop stating ''Gurgaon Badta Bacha Hai" with the advice of having a licensed gun and Meera's response to it "Ab Gurgaon Badta Bacha hai to Gun to Muje Hi Rakhni Hogi Na' hits you hard. While Meera goes into the trauma of the unsafe environment her husband Arjun plans a weekend vacation for her birthday to cheer her up. The plot takes a 360 degree turn when the couple starts their road trip. The innocent journey turns into a nightmare when they are struck by unusual circumstances. The couple goes through a hell ride and the night turns out to be the longest night of their life. The representation of a village with backward thinking, prevalence of the cruelty in mankind to the extent that it is okay for Satbir (Darshan Kumaar) to take his sister's life with no hesitation or guilt is awfully shocking. Honor Killing still exists and is socially accepted, it is sad that nothing can be done regarding the same. What the dreadful road trip has it for Meera and Arjun is a further watch in the film. Direction and other Technical Aspects: Utterly classic and praiseworthy direction by Navdeep Singh. The script does not have any loop holes as such. Cinematography is nicely done with crisp editing. The hard hitting dialogues in the film enhance the level of the plot. One statement particularly is the mirror to our society where a ridiculous cop says "Jaahan Bijli nahi Pohochti vaha Constitution kaise pohochega". The real picture of the small town mentality is captured beautifully in the film. Performances: One can witness the best of Anushka Sharma in this movie. She is the hero of the film in true sense. With the intensity and valour Anushka plays her character Meera is a worth watch. There is a scene is the film at a critical point where she takes pleasure while watching satbir trembling in pain and fear by lighting a cigarette is a striking one. Neil Bhoopalam also does fair justice to his role. Darshan Kumaar is perfect as Satbir. There are moments in the film when you are in shock with the obnoxious nature of the baddie. Darshan perfectly carries the atrocious and cruel personality of satbir. Music: The dark tale does not have many songs which indeed is in the support of the film considering its thriller genre. Final Verdict: The plot and the setting of the film makes you aware about the brutal realities of our society and its extremely saddening when you realise that such insensitive norms and savage life style is socially accepted. Midst the disturbing ideologies and presentation, the film shakes you up and screams that we should be well versed with the facts of life. NH10 tells you what a woman can do when thrown against worst circumstances. Watch the film for its realistic backdrop.

Navdeep Singh, who gave us the delightful 'Manorama Six Feet Under', is thankfully back after eight years with this gritty, edgy, uncompromising film. The story (written by Sudip Sharma) is about an urban couple Meera (Anushka Sharma) and Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam), two young professionals from Bangalore, staying in Gurgaon.

The greatness of how a woman can take on a society full of men who want to kill her, molest her or even ask her to not look at them in the eye. It is that moment that wins you when you see Meera rigorously rubbing a Hindi slang which means a prostitute written on a women's latrine door.

NH10 is a revenge drama that's definitely not for the fainthearted. It has some action packed scenes with a lot of blood and gore. Navdeep Singh who made Manorama Six Feet Under (2007) is back with a gripping tale of a young working couple in Gurgaon. When the movie starts Meera (Anushka Sharma) and Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam) are off for a party, which Meera is not very keen on attending.

NH10 is the highway which connects the National Capital with the frontier areas of Punjab. You would get a glimpse of the static life of Haryana districts en route to some exotic holiday destinations in the neighbouring states. However, life in this part of the world is more like the Gulf Stream. You may not anticipate the undercurrent in the beginning, but slowly and steadily you'll start battling against it. There begins the story of director Navdeep Singh's NH10.

Anushka Sharma lights up a cigarette at a critical juncture before going for the kill. That one moment does a lot for a woman breaking the shackles of a warped male dominated mindset in the heartland of India. Navdeep Singh's NH10 is a highly relevant film in these times of a necessary need for women empowerment. It strikes like a bullet and the stinging odor of revenge stays with you for long, even after the film gets over.

Night seems to transform Gurgaon's claustrophobic traffic into a magical bokeh of glimmering signal lights where aloof skyscrapers line up to embrace. There's deceptive comfort in its inanimate vibrancy. For a long time the camera reports this urban scenery, forming the evocative view of a car window, against the tte--tte between a husband and wife driving to a friend's bash.

When you are faced with mortal danger, you can either fight or flee. NH 10 takes us on a journey in which both fleeing and fighting struggle for space, till the time comes to stop running. When young, attractive, urban professional Meera (Anushka Sharma) urges her husband (Neil Bhoopalam) to run away from the men who are terrorising them, she is doing what instinctively comes to most of us. When she turns around to face the enemy, we want to cheer.

A taut and riveting thriller, NH10 paints a disturbing portrait of an inherently violent village on the edge of a glittering boomtown. Director Navdeep Singh employs deftly minimalist and consistently effective touches to create a crackling, tension-filled on-screen atmosphere that could shake the toughest of souls out of their complacent stupor. NH10 is not half as complex and multi-layered as Singh's critically lauded debut film Manorama Six Feet Under, released nearly eight years ago.

Brava Anushka Sharma! In an industry that likes its heroines to be dolls, on and off screen, Sharma has put her name, reputation and bank account behind a film that few would have the gumption to touch. NH10, directed by Navdeep Singh, is a dark, unforgiving film that offers its viewers little relief, few songs, no dances and no silver linings. It's tense, gripping and violent in a way that doesn't let you dismiss it as filmi. It's also proof positive that Sharma is not just a gifted actress, but a bold producer too.
