ImtiazAli’s feature film, Highway, is a stretch in more ways than one. Far from being a thriller as advertised and contained by its namesake, Highway instead turned out to be a lackluster drama about the emotional ups and downs of married couples.The movie begins with the backstory of Raghuram(Pankaj Kapoor) and how he became implicated for murder;the story continues from where the first movie ended. Bhumi(Aditi Pohankar) makes deals with Raghuram in order to survive, but when Nandita(Diana Penty) enters Raghuram’s life, she starts leading a double life as well.On one hand,Nandita continues to work as an undercover agent while on the other,she’s drawn to her husband’s involvement with crime and wonders what it would be like if it was she who had gotten entangled with criminals instead of him.
