I Want to Talk drops on OTT: When and how to watch the Abhishek Bachchan starrer – Times of India

Abhishek Bachchan’s slice-of-life drama I Want to Talk dropped in theatres last year, and was applauded for its senstive story line and heartfelt performances. Now, the movie is available to watch on OTT. Read on for more details…

The movie, directed by Shoojit Sircar, is the touching story of a man, who suddenly discovers that he is suffering from a terminal illness and has only few months to live. Between denial, anger and acceptance, how this man decides to live the rest of his life forms the crux of the story. The trailer of the story was shared with the caption, “When you know life is unpredictable…remember to TALK your heart! Get ready to witness a story of a man who LIVES to talk and gives an entirely new meaning to life.”
The movie, is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime video, and you will have to pay a nominal fee for renting it.

ETimes rated the movie 3.5/5 and said, “Beyond the extraordinary survival story, the father-daughter, Doctor-patient bond and anticipation of death (like Piku) being worse than actual death form the film’s key elements. While Arjun’s extremely independent, those who have been caregivers for parents, can relate to Reya’s emotional turmoil and outbursts. The realisation that healers also need healing leaves a lump in your throat. Arjun’s nurse and friend Nancy (Kristin Goodard), signifies this sentiment.

Despite it being a heavy human drama, the film never ceases to be optimistic and casual in its approach. Our ability to endure pain or suffering is acknowledged, not glorified. Hospital bills, visits, surgeries, uncertainty of life, running a house… Arjun’s story is simply told. You admire his extraordinary courage without it screaming for attention or sympathy. The cinematic treatment’s unconventional and effective.”
