Sree Sreenath A universal uplifting story of a father and daughter pair facing unexpected life challenges, the struggle against all odds, the symbiotic passion for life, and the victory of the indomitable human spirit. Portrayed brilliantly by Abhishek Bachchan at his best maturing as an actor to portray the complex and brilliant real-life Arjun Sen. A story of and for everyone directed by the un-imitable Award winning Shoojit Sorcar who has given us excellent heart-tugging realistic movies like Piku, Pink, and Gulabo Sitabo. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Sharang L Scatters its energies with the needless non-linear narrative but ultimately shines as a unique story of the victory of the human spirit over almost unsurmountable odds. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Vineeth N It's slow - but the movie has a charm. It makes morbid seem fun. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Rita S I want to talk - now on Prime is a good film and I think Abhishek has delivered one of his finest performances. Based on the true story about Arjun Sen , it examines the eternal truth of how a big life event completely changes life’s direction and ultimately his relationship with his daughter. Beautiful film Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review David R I thought this was a really beautiful movie. Shoojit Sircar is a really incredible director. I think it's out of theaters now but I look forward to being on Amazon prime so I can share it with my family. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review arvind s The thing about Shoojit Sircar movies, is that they are extremely reliable, quite relatable (barring a few cases) and have that hint of a special something like KFC's secret mix, which makes his movies stand apart. And in today's Bollywood, they are an anomaly, which is a good thing. Set in the United States, Arjun Sen, an aggressive marketer is diagnosed with cancer and is given just 100 days to live. But he decides to fight it and thereby starts his long and surgery-ridden life. Along the way, he also attempts at repairing his relationship with his daughter.  As is the case with other Shoojit Sircar movies, I Want To Talk also has a beautiful soundtrack (take a bow, Taba Chake). It may be the most underrated album of the year. However, the soundtrack is also my biggest issue as I felt most of the tracks are underutilised in the film. But having said that, it isn't a deal breaker as the moving performances more than make up for it. Abhishek Bachchan's Arjun Sen is one of the best characters he has played in his lifetime. Shoojit knows how to utilise his actors (October was proof and now this). The two actors who play Arjun's daughter; Pearl Dey (younger) & Ahilya Bamroo (teen) are so so good. Johny Lever appears in a small role & Jayant Kriplani plays Arjun's doctor.  I Want To Talk is about a Father-Daughter relationship (as was Shoojit's Piku). It is about not giving up on life, dealing with difficult events in life and above all else, about hope. There is a lot to unpack in this film and to dismiss it after just one viewing is not acceptable.  I Want To Talk will be spoken about for years to come. Do not miss this!
