October

Other people give up on you easily and you fight for survival constantly... this movie portrays in a subtle way.. how fragile this life is .. yet how powerful simplicity of thought is..... Varun's character paints simplicity of thinking in this complex world..... The director extended emotion in various scenes... some as simple as thinking blankly about today from the window of a hospital... without getting weary about tomorrow's survival.... alson it paints a picture where Smell of shiuli flower can sometimes bring life in a still body... shiuli flower does bring back my childhood memory too. Loved collecting those in the morning... sometime I helped my mom with those to make flower garland ready to offer to the Gods & Goddesses.

Coming back to the movie... it stretched a bit sometimes.. so you may feel bored through the mid way, but do wait till the last scene..... if you have ever felt the pain a of a young lady fighting for her survival... this movie will surely leave you heavy hearted and with a sense of more humility towards life.

This is probably best movie of Varun Dhawan since Badlapur. It's a very unique love story. VD's performance was really impressive and prove that he actually can act. If you don't like him, then you will love him after watching this movie. But tbh credit of this amazing movie goes to very talented screenwriter Juhi Chaturvedi and director Shoojit Sircar. They are the real winners here. Hats off to them for making another amazing movie.

To start with, this movie is just brilliant in every aspect. It beautifully shows the other side of Love.

I must say that Varun Dhawan is the central character of this film. He has effortlessly played his character of "Dan". After Badlapur, he has acted brilliantly in this movie. Banita Sandhu is also very good but she rarely has any dialogues in the complete movie.

At some point you will feel that this movie is slow but you have to bit patient to understand this movie. You will definitely feel that emotion of Love with happiness and sometimes sadness. But it's a very beautiful movie.

Direction: Shoojit Sircar is famous for out of box cinema like he entertained his audience with Vicky Doner, Madras Cafe and Piku type un-conventional movies. This movie is totally different treatment of unconditional love , care and October. He used flower from Harshrigar tree through out the movie even movie wallpaper has same flower in place of "O".

Performance: Audience was waiting for this type of performance from Varun Dhawan quite long time. Finally he came, Delivered and Succeed. Debutant Banita Sandhu has done brilliant job in the challenging role. Good supporting performance by Gitanjali Rao in the role of Dr. Vidya Iyer.

Dialogue, Script and Screenplay: Juhi Chaturvedi is sure shot winner of this cinema. She has written this script in very detailed manner which is totally absent in common Bollywood movies. She has main focus on Hotel Industry and Hospital and she has portraited other side of these two entities. In serious cinema, she was able to inject humor. "Where is Dan" was really great one. I wish to see to win lots of awards at the end this year for this splendid work.

Music: Exclusion of songs in this un-conventional love story was really great decision. Soulful music composed by Shantanu Moitra.

Box-office: This type of movie is totally depend on Word of mouth. As critics have given thumbs up and collection of this movie will increase on weekend. Life time collection of this movie will range from 25-40 Crores based on box-office run in Week 1 and Week 2.

Last words: If you hate slow cinema and new concepts, enjoy IPL match at home.

Its a beautiful portrayal of two people's lives. I could have easily got bored with the basic story the movie, but the performances, direction, cinematography just creates magic on the screen and makes one feel the essence of the film.

Varun Dhawan gives a performance of his career by far, the best I have seen by him yet. Banita is also very natural in portraying her character. October has a really good music score which sets you in the mood. I Really liked the Cinematography too.

Shoojit Sircar gives another beautiful piece of cinema to movie lovers that has never been seen in a long time.
