Acting was great in this movie. I think the build up with the 'nothing can go right in this movie' attitude seemed a little bit forced. even if it were slower or longer, I'd prefer some helpful characters, a couple of little things that go right once in a while (that don't go south immediately after the next minute). People like exaggeration and all good / all bad content, people like emotionally loaded revenge sequences too. This is a good movie, this is why I rated it with 8 stars, but the expectations were so built up, I felt like this was going to be a 16-star movie. so my honest rating is 8 stars, but if we're talking about "how it could be", it's practically 5 stars.
... View MoreI've just finished watching this movie.Yes although it was released a few years ago.It was an emotionally packed movie.It'll make you shout,cringe,cry,love.It makes me realize the current real situation of Indian cultural system which I had very little information of.It makes me realize how lucky I am to have access to most of things I wish to achieve.I am officially a fan of Anushka Sharma.Hats off to NH10
... View MoreA 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
... View MoreNH10 is a scary movie. Five minutes into the movie and I could feel that nothing good is going to happen from here on. A young couple (Arjun and Meera)from Gurgaon find themselves getting into a lot of trouble because of a hard to believe stupidity of the husband. Arjun's ego is hurt and he wants to get back at 5-6 hostile and dangerous goons who are out on a Honor Killing mission. He actually follows them to a secluded place taking his beautiful wife along. Seriously dude, what were you thinking?? After this hard to digest scene, the movie gets into an edge of seat thriller mode. Every scene is full of tension. Meera can't find any help on the highway. Even the police are accomplice in the Honor Killing crimes. Meera's General Knowledge is a little weak as she tries to seek help from the Sarpanch of the village mentioning that she encountered an Honor Killing on the highway.But, Meera is a fighter and she keeps surviving and escaping from her attackers. Ultimately, Meera is able to kill all her attackers. Before killing the last baddie, Meera decides to savor the sweet moment by smoking first. At that moment, courtesy Censor Board, "Smoking Kills" message is shown on screen. So you're made to wonder who is getting killed. Fine example of how a warning message can ruin the impact of a strong scene.There are symbols in the movie which showcase the urban-rural divide in India. Meera doesn't't take help from a group of Men in a Jeep because they speak a rural language. She doesn't wish to help the lady who is desperately seeking help. There are few more scenes in the movie which show this divide.I was expecting more brutality in this film, but I guess they must have been brutally chopped off by the Censor Board.
