Highway!

Well, I happened to watch Highway last night, and the simple sweet plot did touch a chord somewhere. No it wasn't the rich girl trapped in societal pressures wanting to flee or the honesty and sensibility of a thug; but the thrill of being on the road, surviving on whatever it throws on your way. I have never been a big fan of luxury travel. As in yes, I do like the journey to be comfortable but my husband and I both don't believe in spending big bucks on the resorts and hotels on our way. We like to keep it simple, interacting with the locals and enjoying the unplanned vacation to it's core.

So, the little cup of teas on the way, the pakodas, the random meals at dhabas, they all make the journey so much more interesting. And these are the elements in the movie that I enjoyed the most. Of course there was this innocent face of Alia and handsome Hooda along with some good acting on their parts, simple little jokes that make you smile. But, there was something about the no plans that kept me glued. No fancy clothes or makeup or unnecessary songs. It was just plain few hours of be lost in your dreams which I enjoyed every bit of. I guess after the Lunch Box this is one movie that that made me feel like ok I didn't waste my time and money. Looking forward to more movies based on such simple concepts that people can relate to.
