I Want to Talk

The moment i got to know through an IG post that a movie by Shoojit Sarkar is in theatres, I impulsively decided to watch it. While I read the plot while waiting for the gates to open, I realised that none of my friend would have accompanied me to watch this stuff even if I had asked any of them. Not surprisingly, we were only 4 people in the whole theatre room and the movie started.

The build up of the movie is really intriguing and so perfectly slow that it gives ample room to associate and give your own perspective towards the character and his emotions. First half of the movie speeds up to the interval in no time. You are left with no clue with where the story is going to take you.

But the later half, could have been little more interesting. It may shoot thoughts back in your mind that what is the point of all this that is been shown. When you try to take some lesson out of the whole drama, you realise that its just a fantastic story of a man who have survived extraordinary situations.

Some of the one liners in the movie are the gems that are going to stay with you for few monents giving some extra thoughts. If i try to fit this movie in few words it is a story of persistence of a guy given 100 days to live and it explores the relationship between a patient & his doctor, patient & his nurse, divorced father & his daughter, survivor & the society.

In my opinion the movie is worth a watch as you won't find such movies often in theatres recently.

Abhishek Bachan starrer and directed by Shoojit Sircar, inspired from the real life story of Arjun Sen, an NRI senior position marketing professional who is running the materialistic self centred ambitious race to Success, suddenly is tripped and dragged down to ground, to stop and look at Life as a limited God given precious gift which he may lose very soon. This brings out a different side to his character which now values life and all the people around. Struggling to connect with his young around 6 years old daughter who has a strangled relationship with her Dad, because of the Divorced situation and he very rarely being available because of his Career. Arjun, the character played by Abhishek so brilliantly keeps you smiling because of his this wonderful transition and coping up with some life threatening 20 surgeries, with so true emotions of humbleness and in the same time some kind of unwavering Resilience which he gathers, even when he has just few but strong reasons to Survive. You always don't need a massy self glorifying movie, we do need this kind of Life encouraging true to the Heart movies, which make you Love life & near ones more.

Right off the bat, one thing is undeniable. The film is quite slow paced. The movie mimics life it, doesn't boast of extraordinary vantage point views or sudden twists or out of the blue drama where things seem magical. We see a life flowing in colours though faint and hard to appreciate through every shade in the spectrum. The movie gives a pretty normalistic view of the life in the eyes of the protagonist and how things are unfair yet beatable through sheer will.

This movie has its own audience and it's not for the people who seek story with twists and turns with fantastical elements which are non-lifelike.

But this is for the people who are pushed to their boundaries of the personal comfort zone and are seeking some relief in the silence between the lines which are loud for the right audience.

When everyone is running towards making larger-than-life movies, a film like this comes as a breath of fresh air. This is a trademark Shoojit Sircar movie, and if you are a fan of his work, you're going to embrace this one with love too.

The story revolves around a divorced, middle-aged marketing professional who is diagnosed with cancer. His relentless will to survive and his dynamic relationship with his daughter are the core focus of this film.

Although the movie deals with a serious subject, its treatment is light-hearted and doesn't emotionally exhaust the audience. The characters are so endearing that you find yourself falling in love with each one of them. The camaraderie between the father and daughter is organically built, and their complex relationship is portrayed beautifully. Dialogues by Ritesh Shah are another highlight, adding a touch of humor and relatability to the narrative.

Abhishek Bachchan has literally breathed life into the character. He delivers an outstanding performance in this unique role, truly making it his own. Ahilya Bamroo (older version) as the daughter is equally remarkable, ensuring her performance stays with you long after the credits roll. The young girl who plays the younger version of the daughter also does a commendable job. Johny Lever's special appearance provides light chuckles, while the other supporting artists fit their roles perfectly too.

The background score and music blend seamlessly with the narrative, enhancing the film's emotional depth. If the movie reminds you of Piku, you're not alone-it carries a similar essence, though this one leans more towards serious storytelling with less comedy. The most beautiful part of the movie is its use of silence, which communicates more effectively than words. Shoojit Sircar's brilliance shines through as he refrains from spoon-feeding the audience, allowing viewers to interpret and connect with the story on their own.

Shoojit Sircar has done it again, and this is a work of art you shouldn't miss. With many English dialogues, the film might not appeal to the masses, but it will resonate brilliantly with urban audiences. Watch it right away.
