Hyderabad: Shoojit Sircar's latest directorial, I Want To Talk, starring Abhishek Bachchan, is garnering a mix of praise and criticism on social media. As the film officially hit the screens on November 22, 2024, viewers have flooded X (formerly known as Twitter) with their opinions. While opinions are divided on the pacing of the movie, the overwhelming consensus is that I Want To Talk features one of Abhishek Bachchan's best performances to date.
Based on the real-life story of Arjun Sen, a cancer survivor, the film explores complex relationships, primarily focusing on a father's bond with his daughter, set against the backdrop of a life-altering surgery. Playing the role of Arjun Sen, Bachchan is being hailed for his nuanced portrayal. His character is both emotionally raw and deeply relatable, embodying the struggles of a father facing not only a life-threatening illness but also the complexities of his relationship with his daughter.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️#IWantToTalk features one of #AbhishekBachchan’s best performances till date. #ShoojitSircar manages to portray complex relationships in his style but uses a plot revolving around medical surgeries only.

Taking to X, a user in his review wrote, "#IWantToTalk features one of #ShoojitSircar's most subtle and emotional portrayals of complex relationships. Though it revolves around medical surgeries, it's more than just a plot-it's about the emotional depth between characters. The film could have been a bit tighter, but the slow pace allows for a deep emotional connection, which is essential to understand the characters' journey (sic)."
