Shoojit Sircar on Varun Dhawan starrer October: It is an intensely personal story
Varun Dhawans romantic drama October is garnering all kinds of praise from the industry. The movie is being hailed for depicting an emotional story in a convincing fashion. However, only time will tell if October manages to impress the general audience as well.
Film and trade analyst Girish Johar had earlier stated that the film might do wonders at the box office, thanks to Varuns status as a bankable star. “Though October is not the typical masala film, Varun has had a good track record at the box office”, Johar had said.
The film is expected to mint around Rs 7 crore on its opening day at BO. Film critic of The Indian Express, Shubhra Gupta, gave a positive review.
“In a Bollywood still all at sea when it comes to credible relationship dramas, its good to see attention being paid to lifes wholly unexpected stutters and halts, where background music is not used as a crutch, and whose young people interact with each pretty much the way the young do: the film is set in Delhi, a city director Shoojit Sircar is familiar with, and that adds to the feeling of welcome realism.”
“Equally crucial, the film tells us that romance doesnt necessarily have to play out in the metric of song-and-dance-and-high-pitched-melodrama; that it can be low-key, and unusual, can be conducted through speaking glances, rather than words,” her review read.
Actors like Anil Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and TV star Mouni Roy have praised the movie for its unique treatment of the age-old romantic drama genre.
