    Summary

    Meera (Anushka Sharma) and Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam) are professionals living in Gurgaon. When Meera walks out of a party late one night, she is attacked by a group of unknown men. Although she escapes by the skin of her teeth, the encounter leaves her traumatized. Arjun, partly blaming himself for not being there that night, tries to make up for it by treating her to a luxurious desert holiday. As they stop on a Highway dhaba for dinner, they witness a young girl being picked up by a bunch of hoodlums. Arjun chooses to step in, unmindful of the danger ahead.

Critic reviews and ratings

  • This is brilliant. This is fast. This is bloody furious.

    99

    Critic rating (?)

  • Fancy a non-stop, relentless, edge-of-the-seat experience for close to two hours with your heart perpetually parked in your mouth? 'NH10' is that kind of a rare movie.

    79

    Critic rating (?)

  • It is a scary, compelling ride featuring an actress who surpasses herself.

    79

    Critic rating (?)

  • Everything comes together in NH10, a great script, a good director and brilliant performances.

    79

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...a dark and wild ride into the outskirts of our nation with plenty of thrills and gory action. Not meant for the fainthearted and tailor-made for cinema aficionados...

    79

    Critic rating (?)

  • You should watch it because it is uncomfortable.

    79

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...unrepentantly dark, gritty and gruesome. And you still watch with rapt attention, as the story that is unfolding is so deliciously intense and the performance by the leading lady so earnest and untethered.

    69

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...a tale which is brave, unconventional and perhaps even necessary. And best of all, it is a highly entertaining, edge of the seat thriller with many twists, turns and jolts to have a lasting impact.

    69

    Critic rating (?)

  • What 'NH10' gets bang on is the milieu: the atmospherics, the language, and the tension that creeps up on you that you can't shake off. The performances too complement the storytelling.

    69

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...a relentless thriller you wish you could see with your eyes closed - because truly, as its song goes, chill gaye naina.

    69

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...director Navdeep Singh gives Anushka Sharma a chance to drive solo on the Bollywood highway. And she drives her way through obstacles with amazing commitment.

    69

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...is never less than compelling. It is from start to finish a thoroughly absorbing film.

    69

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...NH10 rests on the able shoulders of Anushka, who doesn’t hit a false note.

    69

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...a wonderfully made film with an outstanding performance by Anushka Sharma.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • A thoroughly average idea and a flawed script add up to a gripping experience, thanks to Singh's direction, Merchant's editing and Sharma's acting.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...an adventurous Bollywood film that breaks the shackles of convention and is none the worse for it. Eminently watchable.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...a heady concoction of anxiety, fear, shock and rage to say the least. Watch it only if you have the stomach for it, you've been warned.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • Singh drags the climax, indulging in some cinematic flair, but it's also his way of displaying girl power in its most lethal form. It's not something you see every day in Bollywood.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • The number of coincidences in a plot is obviously inversely proportional to how credible the story seems. There are quite a few coincidences here, and an equal number of moments where some suspension of disbelief is a must.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...uncompromising and unsparing.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • On its own, NH10 is atmospheric, well acted, moody and crafted with a definite vision. A little more writing and less 'inspiration' would have made this its own distinct film.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...Navdeep Singh's treatment of the film is slick. The visuals are appropriately dark and murky. The sense of gloom prevails throughout. It sets the right mood. But when it comes to the final act, he drops the ball.

    49

    Critic rating (?)

  • NH10 never glorifies its ample violence, and its moral compass is unerringly fixed.

    49

    Critic rating (?)

  • Navdeep Singh nails it in the first half, but the second half lacks the same fluidity and penetration power. NH10 displays a great potential and then fails to capitalise on it.

    49

    Critic rating (?)

  • It’s not that Anushka Sharma, who has also produced the film, is not trying hard. She is, and up to a point, she is in fine fettle. But at the point when she turns from flee to fight, I stopped believing.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...isn’t quite a disaster, but it’s a confused film, one that makes the mistake of having too much on its plate.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • There is a refined style of storytelling at play here, but this film fails to make an impact.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • The film loses out on complexity by opting for a way too easy narrative: the rural brutes vs us, the city slickers.
