I Want to Talk | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Sircar doesn’t get into melodrama, which is good, and there’s no sad background music to tell us when to feel, which is even better. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 22, 2024 Full Review I Want to Talk | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Catherine Bray Guardian A bit more setup would have paid dividends in terms of the subsequent journey. Rated: 2/5 Nov 22, 2024 Full Review I Want to Talk | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ishita Sengupta OTTplay Shorn of metaphor and allusion (well, not completely), I Want to Talk is about the grime and gift of living. It is a prosaic portrayal of what it takes to live and how much it takes out of us to survive. Nov 27, 2024 Full Review I Want to Talk | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Saibal Chatterjee NDTV I Want to Talk hinges on the tics that propel tales of the 'terminally' ill but it uses the conventions of the genre sparingly, sensitively and with quietly devastating effect. Rated: 3/5 Nov 25, 2024 Full Review I Want to Talk | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in The movie snaps into place when Arjun participates in a marathon. Here, Arjun’s life-long bravery, the physical effort this involves, and Abhishek Bachchan’s casting all pay off. Nov 22, 2024 Full Review I Want to Talk | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Devesh Sharma Filmfare Watch it for the acting talent on display and for the message it conveys in its own meandering ways. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

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 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 Audience Member Shoojit Sircar's I Want to Talk is far from being his best still this gripping tale of resilience and determination is worth watching for Abhishek Bachchan's towering performance and the father and daughter dynamics. As Arjun Sen Abhishek simply disappears into the role. Arjun is far from likeable yet Abhishek makes the viewers empathize with his struggles.
