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 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 12/19/24 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! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Mirza M 'I Want to Talk' is a simple, sensitive and somber tale of human resilience bolstered by an excellent Abhishek Bachchan performance. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Audience Member I watched this movie and when i went home i hugged my single mom. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Very slow, very boring , very unrealistic . Movie makers must know that now audience is much educated ( some are in healthcare - and know that multiple surgeries , no tracheostomy, no job ,no scars matching to the surgeries— don’t fly ) audience is losing interest in cinemas as they are becoming stale - might as well let us relive the oldies , the classic , where there was story that one can connect with . Learn from past movies and what made them work . If u don’t have stories - remember everyone’s real lives are full of experiences . Make a simple life story and watch how people will connect and come back , make simple romantic stories and watch how people will have love in their heart and not hate and violence ( which is already happening and hurting all ) - remember cinemas are not only entertainment and distractions and drama but can spread messages, give a reality check , bring humanity back Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
