Highway movie review: Anand Deverakonda's serial killer film tortures you more than the killer his victims

Highway movie review: kv guhan’s serial killer film starring anand deverakonda and abhishek banerjee is illogical, bland, and lackluster in every way conceivable..

There is a scene in KV Guhan’s thriller Highway, where the serial killer D ( Abhishek Banerjee in his Tollywood debut) tapes his victim’s eyes open so that they can witness their own torture. Frankly, watching the film for two hours felt a lot like that--tortured, painful, and waiting for it to end. Highway is a simple film with a promising premise, which falters so badly in execution that you wonder how one can make such a lackluster film with a decent plot and good actors. Also read: Abhishek Banerjee says co-star Sunita Rajwar would get upset with him

Highway, set in the outskirts of Hyderabad, introduces us to photographer Vishnu (Anand Deverakonda), who is travelling to Bangalore for an event. Along the way, he helps a runaway teenager named Tulasi, who needs to get to her estranged father. A parallel track sees police officer Asha Bharath (Saiyami Kher) hunting a dangerous serial killer, who has killed five women and is on the hunt for more. How these two stories converge and Vishnu finds himself in a dangerous situation forms the crux of the film.

As I said, an interesting premise but it all goes downhill from here. The plot has more holes in it than a kitchen sieve, the acting is either monotonous or over-the-top (there’s no middle ground), and the background music is a serious assault on the senses. The comedy is so cringeworthy, sexist and forced that it often feels like you are watching something from the 90s.

It seems the makers and writers of the film have never met real people or observed how real people behave. Because in this film, everybody behaves as illogically as possible, as if it’s a stupidity contest. Cops can’t see an obvious clue dangling in front of their eyes, the killer tries his best to behave like a killer at every possible moment without any worry about getting caught, and women disregard safety while a serial killer is on the loose. I stopped noticing logical flaws halfway into the film because it was hard to keep up by then.

The film lacks finesse and subtlety, with every character repeating what is happening on the screen just so that the audience do not miss it. It is like hammering a nail that is already all the way inside the wall. It’s redundant and infuriating. But is there anything redeeming in Highway? Abhishek Banerjee, of course! The Pataal Lok-fame actor has been handed an undercooked and unidimensional character with no coherent back story and he still manages to do something special with it. He is menacing, scary, and at times, even fun to watch. Everyone else falls flat sadly. Saiyami Kher, normally a reliable performer, has been reduced to just standing at crime scenes exasperated. She and her character both deserve better. Anand Deverokonda is lackluster and frankly looks like a cardboard cutout at times. Manasa Radhakrishnan tries to play the part of a hapless, innocent teenager to the best of her abilities. But sadly, the script and direction do not help her much in the process.

Highway began streaming on Aha Telugu from Friday, August 19, and frankly it is a good choice that the film chose not to release in theatres. On OTT, it may find some audience. But it’s hard to see why anyone would voluntarily watch this film. It’s a cautionary tale on how not to approach an interesting subject. Watch it only if you are prepared to be disappointed in more ways than you can count.

Director: KV Guhan

Cast: Anand Devarakonda, Abhishek Banerjee, Sayami Kher, Manasa Radhakrishnan

‘Highway’ movie review: Almost but not quite there

The telugu crime thriller engages, but doesn’t go beyond tried and tested tropes.

Updated - August 19, 2022 12:18 pm IST

Published - August 19, 2022 11:19 am IST

Saiyami Kher, Anand Deverakonda, Manasa Radhakrishna and Abhishek Banerjee in ‘Highway’

Writer, director and cinematographer K V Guhan begins the story with the lines ‘There will always be a reason why you meet people; either you need to change your life or you are the one that will change theirs’. In line with this thought, the Telugu thriller Highway , streaming on Aha, follows a handful of characters who happen to cross paths and are pulled into a journey of life and death.

Highway uses common tropes that one associates with killer-on-the-loose thrillers of Hollywood and Indian cinema and reimagines them in the context of a crime drama set on the highway connecting Visakhapatnam and Mangaluru.

Vishnu (Anand Deverakonda), a photographer from Visakhapatnam, and his friend Samudram (Sathya) take the road route to Bengaluru for a wedding photography assignment. Along the way, they meet Tulasi (Manasa Radhakrishnan) and are entrusted with the task of making her reach Mangaluru. In the meantime, a psychopath killer identified only as ‘D’ is on the prowl for his next prey, with a task force headed by investigation officer Asha Bharath (Saiyami Kher) on his heels.

We get a fair idea of Vishnu’s loving family and in contrast, Tulasi’s situation of being detached from one parent and going in search of another, whom she has never met. The banter between Vishnu and Samudram brings in a few laughs, and appreciably the film doesn’t dwell on it more than is necessary. 

Guhan’s camera and Simon K King’s background score aptly contribute to the mood of the thriller. The modus operandi of the psychopath in picking his targets is neatly laid out. As long as the narrative unravels how the task force tries to close in on D and he hoodwinks them, it keeps up the momentum. 

From a mile away one knows who would be D’s next crucial target. Yet, the brief characters that make an appearance along the way and the incidents keep us hooked by the manner in which all of it heightens the threat to the target.

While Tulasi finds help and breathes easy in the company of Vishnu and Samudram, what follows reflects how unsafe things can get for a naive young woman who is compelled to travel alone on an unfamiliar route.

Manasa plays her part with innocence and vulnerability while Anand is convincing as the sensitive and responsible guy. Saiyami Kher enacts her brief part with conviction but this is a character that could have been fleshed out better. John Vijay goes overboard as the creepy truck driver. Making his debut in Telugu, Abhishek Banerjee is spot on as the eerie killer. Similar to Paatal Lok , he manages to send shivers down one’s spine without speaking much. 

Highway unfolds on familiar lines and delivers thrills from time to time. However, it falls short in the final portions that seem stretched and dilute the potential for a nail-biting finish. 

The film makes for a fairly engaging watch by staying true to its genre and doing away with frills. However, anyone who has watched crime dramas and thrillers involving a psychopath character is likely to have a sense of deja vu. A few innovative elements in characterisation or storytelling wouldn’t have hurt.

క్రేజీ స్టార్ విజయ్ దేవరకొండ పాన్ ఇండియా మూవీ ఆగస్ట్ 25న వరల్డ్ వైడ్ రిలీజ్ కాబోతుంటే… అతని తమ్ముడు ఆనంద్ మూవీ ‘హైవే’ అందుకు ఆరు రోజుల ముందు ఆహాలో స్ట్రీమింగ్ అయ్యింది. ‘దొరసాని’తో హీరోగా ఎంట్రీ ఇచ్చిన ఆనంద్ దేవరకొండ స్లో అండ్ స్టడీ తరహాలో ముందుకు సాగుతున్నాడు. ‘118’తో ఫస్ట్ టైమ్ తెలుగులో డైరెక్టర్ గా మారిన పాపులర్‌ సినిమాటోగ్రాఫర్ కె.వి. గుహాన్… ‘హైవే’ మూవీని రూపొందించాడు. మలయాళీ ముద్దుగుమ్మ మానసా రాధాకృష్ణన్ తో పాటు, బాలీవుడ్ నటుడు అభిషేక్ బెనర్జీ ఈ సైకో థ్రిల్లర్ మూవీతో టాలీవుడ్ ఎంట్రీ ఇచ్చారు.

కథగా చెప్పుకోవాలంటే.. చాలా సింపుల్. ఇదో ఇన్వెస్టిగేటివ్ థ్రిల్లర్ మూవీ. హైదరాబాద్ లో అమ్మాయిలను కిడ్నాప్‌ చేసి చంపేస్తున్న సీరియల్‌ సైకో కిల్లర్ ఆటను ఎఎస్పీతో పాటు ఓ సాధారణమైన వ్యక్తి ఎలా కట్టించాడన్నదే ఇందులోని మెయిన్ పాయింట్‌. ఒంటరిగా కనిపించే అందమైన అమ్మాయిలు కిడ్నాప్ చేసి, సిటీ అవుట్ కట్స్ కు తీసుకెళ్ళి చంపేస్తుంటాడు డి ఉరఫ్‌ దాస్ (అభిషేక్‌ బెనర్జీ). అతన్ని పట్టుకోవడానికి ఎఎస్పీ ఆశా భరత్‌ (సైయామీ ఖేర్‌) తన టీమ్‌తో రంగంలోకి దిగుతుంది. ఇదే సమయంలో విశాఖపట్నం నుండి బెంగళూర్‌కు తన స్నేహితుడితో కలిసి ఈవెంట్ కోసం బయలుదేరతాడు ఫోటోగ్రాఫర్ విష్ణు (ఆనంద్‌ దేవరకొండ). అతనికి దారిలో… మంగుళూరులోని తన తండ్రి దగ్గరకు బైలుదేరిన తులసి అనే అమాయకురాలు తారసపడుతుంది. ఆమెను మంగుళూరు బస్‌ ఎక్కించే బాధ్యతను తీసుకుంటాడు విష్ణు. కానీ మధ్యలో ఊహించని కారణాలతో ఆమె సైకో కిల్లర్ చేతికి చిక్కుతుంది. ఇటు ఎఎస్పీ తో పాటు అటు విష్ణు సైకో కిల్లర్‌ను ఛేజ్‌ చేయడం మొదలు పెడతారు. వాళ్ళు ఎలా అతన్ని పట్టుకున్నారు? ఈ సైకో కిల్లర్ వెనుక ఉన్న కథ ఏమిటనేదే మిగతా సినిమా.

మూవీ పేరుకు తగ్గట్టుగానే ఈ కథంతా ప్రధానంగా హై వే మీదనే సాగుతుంది. సైకోకి సంబంధించిన కథ హైదరాబాద్‌లో మొదలైతే, విష్ణు స్టోరీ వైజాగ్ లో స్టార్ట్ అవుతుంది. ఇక హీరోయిన్ తులసి కథ అమలాపురం దగ్గరుండే చిన్న గ్రామంలో! ఈ ముగ్గురూ హై వే మీద కలుసుకోవడం… విడిపోవడం అనే అంశాలు ఆసక్తికరంగానే ఉన్నాయి. ఈ జర్నీలో విష్ణు, తులసి మధ్య ఏర్పడిన చిన్నపాటి అనుబంధం, ఒకరిని ఒకరు వదులుకోలేని నిస్సహాయస్థితి, అంతలోనే ఊహించని ప్రమాదంలో తులసి ఇరుక్కోవడం… వంటి అంశాలను దర్శకుడు కన్వెన్సింగ్ గానే తీశాడు. కానీ ఇప్పటికే సీరియల్ సైకో కిల్లింగ్స్ నేపథ్యంలో చాలానే సినిమాలు, వెబ్ సీరిస్ లు వచ్చాయి. అందువల్ల కథలో కొత్తదనం ఏమీ ఫీల్‌ కాలేం. ఇక ఎఎస్పీ చేసే ఇన్వెస్టిగేషన్‌ కాస్తంత ఆసక్తికరంగానే ఉన్నా… సీట్‌ ఎడ్జ్‌లో కూర్చోపెట్టెంత గ్రిప్పింగ్‌గా మాత్రం కథనం లేదు. మరీ ముఖ్యంగా సైకో కిల్లర్‌ మోటివ్‌ మరీ తేలిపోయింది. అయితే… జనారణ్యంలోని మానవ మృగానికి అడవిలో ఎలాంటి శిక్ష పడిందనే అంశం కాస్తంత థ్రిల్లింగ్ గా అనిపిస్తుంది. ఈ సినిమాలో ఏదైనా కొత్తదనం ఉందంటే అదే!

నటుడిగా ఆనంద్ దేవరకొండలో మూవీ మూవీకీ ఇంప్రూవ్‌ మెంట్‌ కనిపిస్తోంది. నేచురల్ యాక్టింగ్‌ అతనిలోని ప్లస్‌ పాయింట్‌. బట్‌ మరికొంత మెచ్యూరిటీ రావాలి. బాల నటిగా చిత్రసీమలోకి అడుగుపెట్టిన మలయాళీ నటి మానసా రాధాకృష్ణన్ తన పాత్ర పరిధి మేరకు బాగానే నటించింది. సాయిధరమ్‌ తేజ్ ‘రేయ్‌’ మూవీతో నటిగా కెరీర్‌ మొదలు పెట్టిన సైయామీ ఖేర్‌ గత యేడాది నాగార్జున ‘వైల్డ్ డాగ్’లో కీలక పాత్ర పోషించింది. ఇందులోనూ అదే తరహా పాత్రను చేసింది. ఆశా భరత్‌గా చక్కని నటన కనబరిచింది. టాలీవుడ్‌ వాళ్ళకు మరో బ్యూటీఫుల్ లేడీ పోలీస్ ఆఫీసర్ దొరికినట్టే. కానీ తమిళ నటుడు జాన్ విజయ్ ను దర్శకుడు పెద్దంతగా ఉపయోగించుకోలేదు. పలు హిందీ సినిమాలతో పాటు ‘మీర్జాపూర్‌’, ‘పాతాళ్‌ లోక్‌’ వంటి వెబ్ సీరిస్ లలో నటించి చక్కని గుర్తింపు తెచ్చుకున్న అభిషేక్‌ బెనర్జీ ఇందులో సైకో పాత్రను సమర్థవంతంగా పోషించాడు. ఇతర ప్రధాన పాత్రల్లో సత్య, తులసీరామ్‌, నాగమహేశ్‌, సురేఖా వాణి, ఆంటోని, మిర్చి కిరణ్‌, రేష్మ పసుపులేటి, కళ్యాణీ నటరాజన్‌, ‘రచ్చ’ రవి తదితరులు కనిపిస్తారు. ‘పూలరంగడు’ దర్శకుడు వీరభద్రమ్ చౌదరి ప్రీ క్లయిమాక్స్ లో గెస్ట్ అప్పీయరెన్స్ ఇచ్చారు.

కె.వి. గుహన్ తీసిన గత చిత్రం ‘డబ్ల్యూ డబ్ల్యూ డబ్ల్యూ’ కూడా ఓటీటీలోనే స్ట్రీమింగ్‌ అయ్యింది. మినిమమ్ బడ్జెట్‌లో, కాంపాక్ట్ క్రూ తో ఆయన సినిమాలు చేస్తున్నారు. ‘హైవే’ అదే కోవకు చెందిన సినిమా. బేసికల్ గా సినిమాటోగ్రాఫర్ అయిన కె.వి. గుహన్‌ ఆ శాఖను సమర్థవంతంగా నిర్వహించారు. ఆయన సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ ఈ మూవీకి మెయిన్ హైలైట్. అలానే సైమన్ కె కింగ్‌ బ్యాక్‌ గ్రౌండ్ స్కోర్ మరో ప్లస్ పాయింట్. తమ్మిరాజు ఎడిటింగ్‌; మిర్చి కిరణ్‌, సాయికిరణ్ రాసిన సంభాషణలు ఓకే. ఇందులో ఉన్న రెండు నేపథ్య గీతాలను అనంత శ్రీరామ్, శ్రీమణి రాశారు. వాటి చిత్రీకరణ బాగుంది. వెంకట్ తాళ్ళూరి పరిమితమైన బడ్జెట్ లో మూవీ తీసినట్టు అర్థమైపోతోంది. ఆర్టిస్టుల పేర్లు టైటిల్స్ లో సరిగా మెన్షన్ చేయకపోవడం దారుణం. హాలీవుడ్ సినిమాలు, ఓటీటీల కారణంగా ఇవాళ థ్రిల్లర్ జానర్ మూవీస్ ను ఇష్టపడే వర్గమూ ఒకటి ప్రత్యేకంగా ఉంది. అలాంటి వారికి మాత్రమే ‘హై వే’ మూవీ నచ్చుతుంది.

ప్లస్ పాయింట్స్ ఇన్వెస్టిగేటివ్‌ థ్రిల్లర్ కావడం సాంకేతిక నిపుణుల పనితనం మూవీ రన్ టైమ్ క్లయిమాక్స్ ట్విస్ట్

Highway Movie Review: Anand Deverakonda’s film is beyond redemption

Highway had the potential to be a dark and disturbing thriller but it ends up being a damp squib. the anand deverakonda film doesn’t have any redeeming qualities, says our review..

Listen to Story

• Highway is out on aha.
• The film is directed by KV Guhan.
• Highway stars Anand Deverakonda, Saiyami Kher, and Abhishek Banerjee, among others.

Vijay Deverekonda is arguably one of the most popular names in the Telugu film industry. The same, however, can’t be said about his brother Anand. While the young actor gave a glimpse of his abilities in Dorasaani and Middle Class Melodies, he isn’t regarded as an A-lister. Anand is now back with his latest film, Highway, which is out now on aha. The film, sadly, is a step in the wrong direction for the young actor. Highway had the potential to be a deeply unnerving thriller with a strong message, but it ends up being nothing more than a missed opportunity.

Highway revolves around Vishnu (Anand Deverakonda), a photographer who travels to Bengaluru with a close friend for an assignment. He faces an unexpected problem on his way. This forces him to spend some time at a dhaba, where he meets Tulasi (Manasa Radhakrishnan), an innocent young woman with a tragic past. They soon cross paths with a serial killer (Abhishek Banerjee). Will they survive this potentially life-threatening situation?

The plot per se isn’t bad as it pretty much has everything right from a bit of violence to romantic sequences that one expects from a desi thriller. It, however, does not make any impact as the execution is as bland as it gets.

Highway begins with a scene in which Vishnu speaks about how a journey on a particular highway ruined three lives. This sequence, sadly, falls flat as it tries too hard to shock viewers. We are then subjected to a series of underwhelming scenes, which introduce us to the other characters. As a result, one isn't really able to relate to the plot.

However, Highway picks up a pace after Abhishek Banerjee’s entry. There are a couple of inherently disturbing scenes which cater to those familiar with slasher films. This, however, isn’t enough to salvage the film.

Generally, thrillers feature at least a couple of twists that add a new layer to the narrative. Take the Joju George-led Joseph, for instance. It featured a major reveal towards the end, which established the titular character as a braveheart. Highway, sadly, doesn't feature anything even remotely resembling a twist. Highway ends with a couple of rushed scenes, which feel forced and awkward.

Coming to performances, Anand Deverakonda rises above the half-baked script to shine in the romantic scenes. His sweet and shy expressions may vaguely remind people of Vijay Deverakonda from Geetha Govindam. This, however, doesn’t count for much, as the romantic subplot is undercooked.

Abhishek Banerjee is menacing in a few scenes, but Highway is hardly another Paatal Lok for him. He deserved a meatier character. Saiyami Kher, who plays a cop, is passable. She gets the body language right. Manasa Radhakrishnan is burdened with a one-dimensional character.

The songs are hummable but have limited recall value. The background score is commendable as it tries to add a sense of urgency to the narrative in a bid to save the film. The other technical aspects are up to the mark.

To sum up, Highway is the textbook definition of a shoddy thriller.

2 out of 5 stars for Highway.

‘Highway’ review: An utterly predictable journey into hell

Kv guhan’s telugu film stars anand deverakonda, saiyami kher, abhishek banerjee and manasa radhakrishnan..

In the latest thriller from Telugu filmmaker KV Guhan ( 118 , WWW ), a serial killer on the loose, crosses paths with a woman in search of her father and a wedding photographer trying to reach an assignment. Highway , which is being streamed on Aha, is utterly predictable, with the only surprise contained in its final scene.

En route from Vishakhapatnam to Bengaluru, Vishnu (Anand Deverakonda) and his buddy Samudram (Satya) meet Tulasi (Manasa Radhakrishnan), who has set out in the dead of the night to reunite with her father. Prone to mishaps and given to snivelling at the drop of a hat, Tulasi has the words “I am the next victim of the serial killer terrorising the countryside” all but tattooed on her forehead.

Das (Abhishek Banerjee) has managed to evade Special Task Force officer Asha (Saiyami Kher). He has notched up five kills, rips another woman to pieces on Asha’s watch, and finds his next victim in Tulasi. With some clever thinking from Vishnu, who has fallen for Tulasi, Asha and her team get closer to finding Das.

Perfunctorily filmed and performed from start to finish, the 123-minute film plays out like a cinematic version of television crime dramas. Asha’s intelligence at finding clues into Das’s whereabouts is countermanded by Tulasi’s grating whimpering.

Das’s dastardliness adds nothing to the serial killer canon. The depiction of one of his murders borders on the gratuitous. At least the climax is a departure from such films, even if it comes after a tour of the overly familiar.

Highway Movie Review: Anand Deverakonda-KV Guhan's Latest Is A Missable Age-Old Serial-Killer Drama!

KV Guhan, who directed actor Kalyan Ram in a thriller titled 118 , has come up with another serial killer movie with Anand Deverakonda, Highway. The movie had a direct OTT release on Aha.

The story of the film is a routine run-of-the-mill thriller packed with the age-old tropes of a blood-thirsty serial killer who draws pleasure out of torturing young female victims and eventually killing them. The damsel in distress is rescued by the hero whose only aim is to save her; an anxious cop who is almost on the verge of captivating the killer but dies at his hands.

Vishnu, a photographer from Visakhapatnam sets out with his friend Satya to Bengaluru for a pre-wedding shoot. In a small village in Amalapuram, Tulasi, a woman hits the road to meet his father in Mangalore, following a sexual assault incident at workplace.

On the other hand, Saiyami Kher, who was seen in the role of a Chief Investigating Officer trying to nab the serial killer, is kind of wasted. She is always furious and anxious about the killer who is very lousy, making it unbearable for the viewer. How she gets killed by the serial killer is another moment of distress.

Performances:

Highway's cast included Anand Deverakonda, who tried to bring out his best for the role that almost demanded nothing. The girl, Manasa, who marked her Telugu debut, looked the part of an innocent girl, who gets caught in odd situations often, only for the hero to do something. Abhishek Banerjee, who is now the staple choice for a psycho killer did what is expected out of him and for a couple of scenes, John Vijay did his best. The movie has a lousy narration and does not offer anything new other than the fact that the killer will be killed towards the end by a Tiger in the middle of the forest. Watching Highway gives a feeling of watching the same old story coupled with boring performances under a new name.

Almost none

The movie does not have anything to help it become an average thriller and that is enough to chart out the negatives or letdowns of Highway, including the title.

Highway, directed by cinematographer-turned filmmaker KV Guhan is a passable movie. Watch only if you have nothing else to do.

Highway Movie Review: A flat, downright boring ride

Rating: ( 2 / 5).

Allow me to drop a random architectural trivia. Australia's 141-kilometre-long Eyre Highway is one of the longest roads in the world. One of the perils of driving on this road is the possibility of accidents by driver fatigue. There are no twists, no turns, leaving drivers restless as they ride on and on without respite. In other words, you keep driving forward but there is barely a kick in the journey. Travel bloggers describe travelling on the road as “plain and boring”. That could double up as the review of this Highway as well. The bigger crime here is that there is a serial killer on the loose, hunting for his prey, but the film is pretty much like a drive on Eyre Highway. 

In Highway , Abhishek Banerjee plays a serial killer who tortures random young women to death. He tapes their eyelids open, forcing them to witness the brutality they are subjected to. As a night sequence played out, looking at the reflection of my face on the laptop screen, I empathised with the victim’s misery in their last moments. Abhishek, whose Hathoda Thyagi from Pataal Lok startles you, is reduced to a laughing stock in the film. He is the subject of this year’s most hilarious moment on screen, albeit unintentionally. Saiyami Kher (pulling off a reiteration of her character from last year’s Wild Dog) plays a cop on the trail to nab the killer; her urgency is barely registered, and at one point, the writing is so basic that you wonder how she landed in the position. Anand Deverakonda plays a photographer on his way from Vishakapatnam to Bengaluru to cover a wedding and Sathya plays his funny friend, who has a funny ringtone and talks funny because he is supposed to be funny; but he is not funny. What's funnier is the sad life of Tulasi (Manasa Radhakrishna), who is the personification of every melodramatic cliche. Anand and Sathya's characters run into Tulasi in a scene that's so predictable that you see it coming when Anand starts from Vishakapatnam. After a series of boring and silly events, the serial killer enters into the mix, and the film gets louder; not interesting.

The problem with Highway is that it is just not thrilling. Perhaps it is Abhishek Banerjee’s horribly dubbed voice—the quintessential villain voice you hear in Telugu films—or Tulasi’s overly sentimental track that is purposefully written to wring out a feeling of sympathy. The sad life of Tulasi, in fact, works against the film. There is hardly anything palpable in the film; the danger when the killer prowls on the highway, the relief when a character escapes from his clutch, the suffering of the innocent victims, the sadness of the characters, or even the motivation of the killer—which is verbally spelt out in a primitive scene. None of them leave an impact. Even the sense of geography, the eponymous highway, is barely felt. 

Speaking of films about maniacs and desolated geographies, Krishna Vamsi’s Danger , Ram Gopal Varma’s Road , and even the recently released Tamil film, D Block , are way more successful in instilling a threat—by leveraging their respective settings—although they are not competent products of storytelling in their entirety. However, Highway has nothing redemptive about it. Part of it can be attributed to uninspiring writing, which barely builds the characters and the rest of it is the insignificant craft. While it is not technically blemished, the craft doesn’t uplift it either.

Highway is stale, boring, and unintentionally funny. Calling it a middling affair would be an act of over-selling the film. It is not even bad enough to have fun with and that, according to me, is the biggest crime a bad film can commit.

OTT Review: Highway

Article by P R Sree Published by GulteDesk --> Published on: 11:47 am, 19 August 2022

Cast : Anand Deverakonda, Abhishek Banerjee, Manasa Radhakrishnan, Saiyami Kher Director : KV Guhan Producer : Venkat Talari Music : Simon K King Streaming On : AHA

Anand Deverakonda’s Highway starts premiering on Aha from today. It is directed by cinematographer-turned-director KV Guhan and is produced by Venkat Talari. The film saw the debut of Malayalam actress Manasa Radhakrishnan in Telugu. It also has Paatal Lok of fame, Abhishek Banerjee, and Saiyami Kher.

Plot of the movie: It is all about hunting a man who is a serial killer and murders over half a dozen women, and what makes Vishnu (Anand Deverakonda), a photographer, chase the killer.

The film begins with the media talking about the serial killer (Abhishek Banerjee) and the cops analysing one of the murders, and then comes the introduction of Vishnu and his cute little family, attempting to make reels for Instagram. The story unravels when Vishnu travels to Bengaluru for an event coverage and the sequence of events that happen en route, including meeting Tulasi (Manasa Radhakrishnan), a nave girl travelling to Manglore to meet her father, whom she has never seen or met, is what the film is all about.

The first half of the film is thrilling, keeping you guessing about the next sequence, while the second half gets completely boring. You won’t be surprised even if people around you doze off—reason? A predictable plot that even a fifth-standard child can guess. The climax is something both funny and illogical that will leave you wondering as to why the entire crew and cast have gone ahead with it.

Performances: Speaking of performances, Abhishek as a psycho killer nailed it, while Manasa made an impressive debut as a village belle. Anand could’ve performed better to his abilities, and the same goes with Saiyami, as their performances felt very casual and not up to the mark. No one else’s performance is actually noteworthy enough to even talk about. The same goes with the music.

However, one can see the high technicalities in the film. The scenic beauty of mother earth was captured so well that one will surely get lost in “googling” about the locations chosen in the film.

KV Guhan showed off his cinematography skills in an excellent way while he lacked in the direction aspect. The gripping second half of the film can make Highway a good watch. The lagging script, slow pace, and clichéd story made it a boring watch, despite the first half of the film being intense and gripping. It is disappointing that the scenes which manage to escape this predictability are the ones where logic goes for a toss and the audience is taken for granted.

Conclusion: An “Okayish” rudderless thriller film makes it to the one-time watch list for the likes of thriller films.

Review: ‘Highway’: Plot-holes make this Telugu movie a bumpy ride

Film: Highway (Streaming on aha), Duration: 163 minutes

Director: K.V. Guhan, Cast: Anand Devarakonda, Manasa Radhakrishnan, Sayiami Kher and Abhishek Banerjee

IANS Rating: **

People expect highway rides to be fast, racy, and smooth. But on screen, Telugu movie ‘Highway’, ace cinematographer KV Guhan’s third directorial venture in Telugu, suffers on all three fronts. Interesting in patches but largely predictable, ‘Highway’ could yet appeal to die-hard fans of the ‘cat and mouse’ type serial killer genre.

The movie’s basic premise is set around a serial woman-killer and a determined lady cop in Hyderabad. ‘Highway’ shifts scene when a young village lass lands in his clutches, with her new love hot on their tracks. Despite the initial promise of a taut thriller, ‘Highway’ ends up meandering along to a rather unbelievable ending.

Vishnu, a promising photographer in Vizag sets out on a wedding coverage assignment in Bengaluru. On the way, he and his friend come to the aid of Tulasi, a village belle from near Amalapuram, in search of her father in Mangaluru, Karnataka.

They promise to drop her off at Kalyandurg, from where she can take a bus to Mangalore. Although it confuses the mind as to why she can’t tag along with them till Bengaluru which is closer to her destination.

Parallelly, in the city of Hyderabad, female cop Asha Bharat is on the trail of a serial killer who keeps leaving cigarette butts and tyre tracks at the crime scenes.

Das, played by Abhishek Banerjee, is the smouldering villain, who keeps staking out potential victims, as he keeps cruising around in a beat-up ambulance van, right under the cops’ noses. All the while, the female cop keeps snarling and mouthing the b****** and f*** words to vent out her frustration and determination.

How Tulasi lands in Das’ clutches, Vishnu tracks her down, and finally rescues her, form the crux of ‘Highway’.

The cast comprising Anand Devarakonda, Manasa Radhakrishnan, Sayiami Kher and Abhishek Banerjee try their best to do justice to their roles.

Anand Devarakonda as Vishnu, and Manasa as Tulasi, appear naturally rigid and restrained as a young couple who are waking up to their mutual attraction.

Sayiami Kher is passable as the lady cop intent on catching the serial killer. Abhishek Banerjee, with a perpetual sneer writ on his face, is the bad guy in the movie which happens to be his Telugu debut.

The technical excellence that Director K.V. Guhan brings in with his cinematography, fails to lift up the weak story line.

There are instances where the director makes it too easy for the antagonist to kill and escape. Similarly, other inconsistencies in the storyline add to the overall inadequacies of the movie.

As can be expected, Guhan handles the camera with panache, while Simon King’s music score helps maintain the story tempo.

For thriller movie fans willing to overlook the details, ‘Highway’, despite the plot-holes, may still prove to be an interesting watch over the weekend. (IANS)

In contrast, D kills another girl, bringing him and Asha closer to each other.

Anand Deverakonda’s Highway Telugu Movie Review & Ratings | Hit or Flop?

Highway Movie Review : With his debut movie ‘Dorasani’ Anand Deverakonda failed to impress the audience, but he was successful with his second film ‘Middle Class Melodies’ that released on digital platform directly. Pushpaka Vimanam which failed in theatres, was successful on OTT platform and that could be the reason actor chose direct to digital release for his new film ‘Highway’.

Bigg Boss 7 Telugu Vote

Highway is available for streaming on Aha OTT platform from today and let’s get into the detailed review of the movie, if it is worth watching our time.

A photographer by profession goes on a road trip and in the journey falls for a girl. At the same time a psychopath hunts down 5 women and leaves no clue to the Police department. The connection between these murderer and the photographer forms the rest of the story.

Cast & Crew

Highway movie stars Anand Deverakonda, Manasa Radhakrishnan in the leading roles, while Abhishek Banerjee, Saiyami Kher, John Vijay, Reshma Pasupuleti, Sathya are playing other important roles. Movie is written & directed by KV Guhan and produced by Venkat Talari. Simon K King composed the music and KV Guhan himself is the cinematographer. Movie is edited by Thammiraju.

Movie Verdict

Highway movie has some scenes that are interesting to watch in parts, but the overall making of the movie will definitely make you scratch your head. Movie looks so clueless with the narration and screenplay. Many scenes in the movie look very uninteresting and boring. Director have followed a way old formula in narrating a simple thriller. Climax of the movie also looks very unrealistic and routine to the core.

Anand Deverakonda has to improve a lot in terms of acting. He looks expression less in many of the scenes that needs the performance to elevate the situation. Saiyami Kher looks okay in the role of investigating officer. Abhishek Banerjee is only actor in the movie, who impresses with his performance and the actor slayed it in the negative role, though we have seen him in similar roles in Hindi. Satya tries to create fun needed in between and all other actors did their part well.

Technically movie looks okay. Background music composed by Simon K King adds the required mood for the film. Cinematography by KV Guhan looks okay, though the movie has some good locations that can be captured in a beautiful way. KV Guhan once again came up with a thriller story and failed to impress the audience with his making, just like his previous film ‘WWW’.

Finally, Highway is impressive in parts and keeps you intrigued.
