7/10
An exciting thriller shouldered completely by Anushka Sharma

Warning: Spoilers
Driven by amazing performance of Anushka Sharma, a cameo by Deepti Naval and well directed by Navdeep Singh, NH10 is an exciting two hour journey, touching upon the rural Haryana, honor killings, patriarchal mindset and women empowerment. Ignoring the poor and senseless build up of the story, where most of the Bollywood movies are weak at, once into the jungle, movie is full of twist and turns.

Anushka Sharma, evidently, has put her heart into the movie. With intense dramatic acting, she has taken the movie on to her shoulders completely. Neil Bhoopalam is, unfortunately, forgotten after some time in the movie as it revolves around Anushka Sharma and her struggle with the predators. However, he does well in his bit. Darshan Kumaar does a noticeable job with enough screen presence and is quite good, given his second movie. Deepti Naval lives up to her reputation.

The length of the movie is well managed as you cannot keep it exciting with a typical Bollywood length of 2.5 hours.The climax makes a very strong statement with hunters becoming the hunted. However, the movie draws attention to the solid thick line between the India of malls, multiplexes, flyovers, working women and the India of dirt roads, khap panchayats, honor killings and patriarchy.
