I Want to Talk

My admiration for cancer survivors knows no bounds; their indomitable spirit, unwavering determination to never give up serves as a source of inspiration.

And I feel director Shoojit Sircar has captured their struggles with remarkable sincerity here.

Arjun's journey of grappling with his recent diagnosis, his tumultuous relationship with his daughter, and his on-going conflict between his will to fight and temptation to surrender once and for all are poignantly showcased.

The portrayal of a man in anguish is executed with the necessary depth and empathy.

While the frequent medical terminology and discussions surrounding surgeries may seem overwhelming to some, those who appreciate slow-paced, hard-hitting dramas will find this narrative resonates deeply.

Moreover, Abhishek has invested his soul into this role. I have always believed that he was a remarkable talent when paired with a fitting script, and he has once again validated my opinions on him.

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.

Arjun, a man diagnosed with a terminal disease decides never to lose hope and goes against all odds to live an optimistic life.

Another human touch from Shoojit Sircar. This movie can reinvigorate our basic human instincts in this busy and competitive world. Even if we are stuck in the never-ending rat race or threatened by the darkness of our minds, even if our lives get limited, we can still make it no matter what. It is a very soft and touching movie experience that truly resonates.

Shoojit Sircar is really a movie mastermind. This movies are mostly unconventional and don't follow the mainstream cinema but still they feel like mainstream cinema. This choice of subject, his casting choice, and his style of filmmaking, everything shows how absurdly talented he is as a filmmaker. I really loved all of his films but, after watching this movie "I want to talk", it feels like this movie lies somewhere between "Piku" and "October" where "Piku" talks about love for family, "October" talks about affection and empathy for someone you know, "I want to talk" talks about love for yourself. I guess it is now an unofficial trilogy by Shoojit Sircar. "Piku", "October", and "I want to talk".

All of the actors nailed their roles. Abhishek Bachchan gave one of the best performances of his career so far. Ahilya Bamroo appeared for the first time on the big screen, but she still gave her best. Johnny Lever also gave such a brilliant performance, breaking the stereotype. I really hope he keeps on doing such different roles that are out of his comfort zone.

This movie is filled with so many messages such as the competitive corporate sector, the effects of separation on children and shortness of life. In every sense, this movie is going to help you a lot in becoming a better person.

Movie is true masterpiece and AB did a great job.

In this life we all facing too many problems , so with money,some with work,some has everything and some has nothing.

But after all of this its our choices that how can we fight against problem or how we just sat back and wait for our death.

I think everyone should watch this movie ,it can change something in you .

Mr. Abhishek Bacchan you did a fantastic role and i think nobody can deserve this role except you.

When anything happens, first of all our families will effect by the issue, some will leave and some will stand by you .

This movie will tell you ,how can a person will survive with least people and least chance of living.

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.
