It
looks
like
Imtiaz
Ali's
latest
offering
Highway
is
inspired
from
a
La
Tzu
quote,
"A
good
traveller
has
no
fixed
plans,
and
is
not
intent
on
arriving".
The
beautiful
trailer
and
first
look
posters
of
this
road
film
is
out
now
and
is
creating
quite
a
big
ripple
in
B-Town
right
now.
The
film's
trailer,
brimming
with
freshness
and
the
rawness
of
an
European
film,
has
Academy
Award
Winning
music
composer
AR
Rahman's
enriching
music
too.
The
film,
as
perceived
from
the
trailer,
explores
Imtiaz
Ali's
favourite
theme
-
The
journey
that
makes
you
travel
within
yourself;
The
journey
of
ultimate
search
to
find
yourself;
to
know
who
you
are!
In
trailer,
everything
looks
right
and
it
seems
that
Highway
will
be
best
road
movie
India
has
ever
produced.

The
Trailer
of
Imtiaz
Ali's
Highway
The
Trailer
begins
with
Alia
Bhatt's
voice
over,
"I
don't
want
to
go
back
to
the
place
from
where
you
kidnapped
me," and
the
sequence
cuts
to
a
brief
flashback
where
Alia
is
seen
getting
tortured.
Then
comes
the
Tao
inspired
line
of
Alia,
"Where
ever
you
are
taking
me,
I
don't
want
to
reach
there
too,
But
this
'way',
'the
road'
looks
so
good,
I
wish
it
never
ends."
This
voice
over
merges
with
the
scenes
of
Randeep
Hooda,
her
kidnapper,
driving
the
van
while
she
looks
on
to
the
highway.
Alia
looks
like
a
city
slicker
in
the
film
and
Randeep's
costumes
and
make
up
reflects
that
he
plays
a
rural
kidnapper
in
the
film.
The
film's
dramatic
hook
is
that
the
kidnapped
girl
is
neither
tensed
nor
want
to
escape
from
the
kidnappers
but
is
enjoying
the
journey
as
they
are
taking
her
to
some
secret
destination.
Caption
of
the
film
makes
a
display
on
the
screen
as
Alia
looks
on
to
the
sky
and
it
is
"in
bondage,
she
found
freedom" and
Rahman
lends
his
inimitable
trademark
voice
to
express
the
beauty
of
freedom.
In
the
trailer,
Alia
is
also
seen
fearless
in
the
company
of
the
goons
and
even
enjoying
their
company.
This
is
going
to
be
a
new
cinematic
take
on
life,
travel
and
complex
nuances
of
human
emotions.
There
was
a
Ram
Gopal
Varma
produced
movie,
Darwaza
Bandh
Rakho,
which
was
also
about
a
girl,
who
gets
thrilled
when
kidnapped,
but
the
film
was
an
out
and
out
comedy.
Imtiaz
Ali's
fifth
film,
Highway,
looks
like
an
epic
that
would
give
you
a
fresh
perspective
of
life.
Finally,
we
have
our
own
Jack
Kerouac!
