Release and reception



'Highway' was premiered on Aha on 19 August 2022.

Neeshita Nyayapati of 'The Times of India' gave a rating of 2 out of 5 and wrote that "'Highway' is passable fare at best, but given the kind of talent involved in the project, you cant help but wonder if the story had the potential to be fleshed out better". Balakrishna Ganeshan of 'The News Minute' also gave same rating and wrote that "'Highway' sticks true to the crime thriller genre without meandering into unnecessary details or scenes". 'Pinkvilla' too rated the film 2 out of 5 and stated "Highway is barely clued into the emerging plot devices in the Indian OTT space, especially those concerning crime thrillers, which have long ceased to present obvious formats".

Writing for 'The Hindu', Sangeetha Devi Dundoo opined that the film "unfolds on familiar lines and delivers thrills from time to time. However, it falls short in the final portions that seem stretched and dilute the potential for a nail-biting finish". 'India Today''s Roktim Rajpal stated: "Highway had the potential to be a dark and disturbing thriller but it ends up being a damp squib".
