As far as the reactions go, Imtiaz Ali’s new film ‘Highway’ is more or less on the same track like his last film Rockstar – completely divided between lovers and haters. And like last time, Ali was quite open and candid to discuss the strength and every weakness of the film, and took it all head on. We love and respect those filmmakers who are open to such dialogues. So thanks a lot, Imtiaz Ali. Whatever film you make, hope you remain like this.
We also hope more bollywood filmmakers will be open to such Q and As. Who really wants to read about the film pre-release, which is still quite the norm in the country. And post-release, they just vanish.
Also, it all happened because Navjot Gulati took the initiative, contacted Ali, sorted the logistics and made it possible. And thanks to Mihir Desai, Aniruddh Patankar and Sumit Purohit for the videos.
The film got over by 12:15 or so, and then the discussion went on till 2:30 am, and then it went on for some more time outside the theatre. It was great fun. Hope you guys enjoy the videos as much as we enjoyed the live session. Some questions might not be audible, so do use your headphones or speakers.
Thanks to PVR Andheri and Shiladitya Bora for helping us out with all the logistical support.

Fabulous Q&A! Thank you moifighclub for doing this. Had so wanted to attend but the midnight timing was tough – so thanks for sharing.
Had a question If anyone can answer – couldn’t get exactly what happened to Mahabir’s mother. She was beaten up by her husband and…there was a dialogue Mahabir said – about their women and our women. Something about the rich come into our homes and…couldn’t get the Gujjar accent.
Thanks a lot for sharing this :)) some really nice questions and beautiful answers by IMTIAZ ALI, no dodging, everything explained convincingly, such a pure heart he is.

It’ll be great if you inform us about such sessions on this space so that we too can try and make it to these live events. On video, a lot is lost. 🙂
