'October' seems like the most romantic film since 'Amar Prem'.

Mumbai: In Shakti Samanta's 1971
romantic classic Amar Prem, the lead
pair Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila
Tagore never get a chance to get
intimate in the way men and women
get in real and reel life. No songs, no
exchange of affection, no sex. And yet
the on-screen pair in the movie were
an epitome of romanticism.
There's a similar sublimity in Varun
Dhawan's eyes in October, director
Shoojit Sircar and writer Juhi
Chuturvedi's most romantic
association to date. The trailer is
suffused in shades of green and the
hues of morning time serenity,
conveying closeness to nature that is
as bracing as a walk by the riverside
on a soft autumn morning.
Varun plays a housekeeper at a hotel,
in love with the idea of love. The girl
whom he follows into the ICU of a
hospital barely acknowledges him at
their workplace. Yet he clings to the
idea of love in the way a mother
whose son has gone soldiering to the
border clings to the idea that he will
come back.
The thought of a man waiting for a
comatose woman to recover before
knowing whether she is in love with
him or not was recently seen in Kumail
Nanjiani's The Big Sick. Here
in October, Sircar and his infinitely
intuitive writer Chaturvedi show us
what it is like to be in love with the
idea of love.
It's a relationship built on fragile hope
and residual trust. The trailer tenderly
and lovingly weaves into Varun's
character Dan's world where love has
lodged itself precariously. This is not
an easily obtainable love nor is it a
relationship that has any rational basis.
For all we know, the love could just be
in Varun's mind.
October is a world that very few
filmmakers today would dare to enter,
let alone inhabit with such comforting
grace. This is the kind of romantic
drama we thought we would never
see again after Rajesh, Sharmila and
Shakti Samanta.
It takes one Bengali to take over the
mantle of the new-age Bimal Roy from
another Bengali.
Take a bow, Mr Sircar. We had a
magician with whom you share your
name. Now there is you creating magic
in film after film.
