Abhishek Bachchan’s latest film, I Want To Talk, directed by Shoojit Sircar, has struck an emotional chord with audiences, including celebrated filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. The slice-of-life drama, focusing on health challenges and the poignant bond between a father and daughter, was released in theaters last week and has been earning widespread acclaim.
An Emotional Movie Date
Anurag Kashyap shared a heartfelt post on social media after watching the movie with his daughter, Aaliyah Kashyap. The occasion was particularly significant for the director, as it marked his last movie outing with Aaliyah before her upcoming wedding.
Kashyap wrote, “My daughter gets married in a couple of weeks, and we went on our last movie date together before I give her away to see Shoojit Sircar’s ‘I Want To Talk’. It was like a deep cleansing of the soul watching this beautiful film with Aaliyah. I laughed, and I teared up.”
High Praise for Abhishek Bachchan
Anurag went on to describe the movie as deeply moving and lauded Abhishek Bachchan’s portrayal of the lead character, Arjun Sen, calling it the actor’s best performance to date.
He wrote, “Like Arjun Sen, we all have our personal marathons, and how unintrusively the filmmaker captures it is extraordinary. Abhishek Bachchan delivers a career-best performance—he has fully come into his own. The film also features two powerhouses: Reeya, played beautifully by @ahillyeah, and the young actress whose name I don’t know but whose performance left me speechless.”
Kashyap admitted that the film left him overwhelmed with emotions, adding, “I am still absorbing it and find it hard to articulate my exact feelings because I cannot count the number of emotions I experienced watching this film.”
A Must-Watch Film
Encouraging his followers to catch the movie in theaters, Kashyap commended Shoojit Sircar’s exceptional direction. He concluded, “It will definitely talk to you in ways you want but didn’t expect. Shoojit, you are special, and you know it.”
