On the surface, the setup is simple. Meera (Anushka Sharma) and Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam) are a young, upwardly-mobile Gurgaon couple. For her birthday, Arjun plans a surprise road trip along the desolate National Highway 10. They laugh, they bicker, they drink fine wine. It’s a portrait of modern, privileged India.
That illusion shatters in a split second at a roadside dhaba.
After a minor altercation with a group of local thugs, Arjun loses his cool and throws a brick at their car. The couple drives off—but the thugs follow. What follows isn’t a cat-and-mouse chase; it’s a brutal, savage descent into a feudal heart of darkness where the law doesn’t exist and honor killings are just "tradition." nh10 -2015-
Upon release in March 2015, NH10 opened to strong critical acclaim. Critics praised its tight runtime (115 minutes) and its refusal to offer easy moral victories. While it wasn't a massive box office blockbuster (grossing roughly ₹31 crore worldwide), it was a massive success on the satellite and digital circuits.
The legacy of NH10 (2015) is immense:
