I have been meaning to see NH 10 for some time now, finally managed to catch it on a flight today. In a word, this is a terrifying film.

Terrifying because it is real. Terrifying because this could happen to you, to me, to anyone of us. Riveting because it was well enacted.

Ideally one should see this in a theatre or at least on a large screen TV rather than on a tiny flight screen with abysmal graphics. This is because most of the film is shot in the dark and you do need a good screen to get the best effect. On the other hand, the incidents portrayed are so real and it happened at night so this is how it is in the dark.

I have always admired Anushka Sharma as an actress right from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and in Band Bajaa Baraat and in Ladies V/s Ricky Bahl. She was superb in NH 10. I thought the husband was Rajkumar Rao but turns out it was Neil Bhoopalam who also essayed his role brilliantly. As did all the other characters. Very realistic, and terrifyingly true. I do not want to disclose the plot in my reviews, suffice it to say that this is a horrific portrayal of reality in certain parts of the country, and well worth watching.
