Highway begins at a posh locality in Delhi where a rich businessman's daughter Veera Tripathi (Alia Bhatt) is tying the knot with another who's who of the city. A few days short of the wedding, the to-be bride who is quickly prone to claustrophobia blackmails her fiance to take her on a nightly drive down to the highway. At a gas station which was being burgled, they stop. Amidst all the loot the gang leader Mahabir Bhati (Randeep Hooda) kidnaps Veera. With her father's political connections, it is a daredevil thing for Mahabir who then embarks on a journey from state to state to keep buying time until Alia is sold off successfully into prostitution. How from antagonists do Mahabir and Veera affectionately land up on the same plane is story that needs to be heard in this one.
