#Highway 2014 bengali movie#
Over all, Highway is a movie you can watch just to relive some basic human emotions, which the actors have expressed well. The background score is not jarring and stays just where it’s supposed to – in the background. The music, too, is worth listening to, especially the Arijit Singh number, Khela shesh. And even Sabitri Chattapadhyay, who doesn’t have a single dialogue, is good with her use of body language and expressions. In fact, his portrayal of the elderly Pulak is the most believable part of the film. Parambrata, Silajit and Gaurav, too, justify their roles. It’s apparently the make-up artiste who is not quite up to the job, as even Rita looks over made up, though she does relatively well as the grieving mother.

Not once is the picturesque setting of the hill town exploited to enhance the visual appeal of the film during its two odd hours of screen life. The stage-like positions and blocking of the actors, the lack of visual variety and the long scenes give the film the feel of a stage production. In fact, at the end, you are left wondering why the film was given that name to begin with.Īs for the movie itself, it’s basically a two-hour play that was shot on celluloid by mistake director Sudipto Chattopadhyay’s, I guess. Highway - a name that brings to mind a road, maybe a road trip, and lots of adventure. The film revolves around the stories of these seven characters and their trials and tribulations.
