Was October a movie that you enjoyed? - Page 2

I have heard people calling this movie "a snooze fest". But for me, I was bored to tears whilst watching Bharat, and that made 200 crores.

October is a very personal film, it transcends the materialistic view of love. Gulabo Sitabo falls in the same category, only it's not a love story.

people also called Bharat snoozefest.

I love this movie a lot. I don't regret watching it even for a second in theatre. The character I liked the most in this movie was Shuili's mother. What a strong lady. It's so painful seeing your daughter dying everyday, but she doesn't let her other children to get affected by that. When her son asks her whether to go for tuitions in that situation, she tells him to go. And Dan ❤️ ,I completely relate to him, not the love portion, but the kind of personality he has. A confused, irritated guy with high ambitions but again he is affected by someone who he rarely talked. He thinks how can someone move on when one of their closed ones are in hospital but that's life, life doesn't stop for anyone and he understands this later. It's not a love story. It's a story of emotions, life and many more things. And what an apt title. My heart sank when Shuili dies but then she gets relief from the pain.

I love such kind of movies. My friends found it boring but I loved it. ❤️

Plus its soothing songs and music, the scenery, I loved everything. Banita Sandhu and Varun Dhawan both did well. ❤️ and so the supporting actors.

I agree. I enjoyed both the leads, and their limited time ki chemistry.

Did anyone else feel the best part of the movie is how beautifully it has been written?

It’s like watching poetry in motion on a big screen.

For me the best part was the cinematography.

In recent years, its the best movie to come out of Bollywood IMO. It is an absolute masterpiece, and just so PERFECT.

I've not seen any movie capture the essence of love and loss the way this movie does.

The movie is a masterpiece. Each and every scene is so well-thought out. It has repeat value, even though you really need to wrap yourself around it. It's not a mindless watch.

I love this movie ❤️

This movie is magical. Im glad somebody made film about pure love . If someone wants to know what love is then he should definitely watch october. Varun's best performance without any doubt.

And yes This is not a love story but a story about love ❤️

Today only I watched Gulabo Sitabo and was instantly reminded of October, so wo bhi dekh dali badha badha ke😆which brought me back to the forum and this bookmarked review of one of my favorite members of one of my all time favorite movie❤️

Finally watched the film. The biggest drawback of the film is that it's too abstract and slow for the average movie goer. My friends usually like fun commercial stuff and like expected, most of the film went over their head Personally I liked it. I wish some of it wasn't so abstract simply because it would have reached a greater audience in that case. And this is where a Piku wins over October. I have my issues with the writing and Shoojit's over indulgence with certain aspects of the film (have felt the same with say an Anurag Basu and Motwane in some of their films) but personally the biggest positive of the film is Varun. He makes Dan so endearing and relatable. His idiosyncrasies, his frustration with the job, his shock over the fact that she asked for him and trying to make sense of it much to the annoyance of the rest, him trying to endearingly explain to her where he was that fateful day, his interactions with everyone in the hospital over the course of the film (his conversations with the receptionist and the nurse in particular are such well written scenes ), his bond with Shiuli's mother and siblings- Varun owns it all with such sincerity. There is this scene where he berates Shiuli for not recognising him and then endearingly tells her to maintain the same facade even the next day. And then another where he instantly understands why she became violent. And then my favourite where she calls out his name twice- Varun is just so good in every frame. I'd go as far as saying his performance is better than the film in a lot of ways. Dan is why the film works and Varun is why Dan tugs at your heart strings and makes you want to root for the 'love story'. A love so abstract and beautiful that you almost don't understand why he would risk his life and job for someone who was not even his friend. That understated subtle connection is both the biggest positive as well as negative of the film (from a commercial POV). Kudos to Varun though for taking it up cos Shoojit and Juhi are one formidable team and it has an impressive cast yet the biggest takeaway from the film is Dan as a character and Varun as an actor.

I couldn't mention some of my scattered thoughts yesterday in the review I posted but here you go -I absolutely love the fact that Shoojit left their relationship undefined. There was not one romantic scene in the film. My friend kept ranting about how they were not even friends and even a husband or boyfriend wouldn't do half of what he is doing for her and he is crazy. That right there is the beauty of the film. So much is left undefined and to the interpretation of the viewer. And almost every character makes sense. His friends trying to understand why he has lost his head over this when they were not even friends to begin with and her mom beginning to see him as a member of their family to his mom's frustration- everything is beautifully done. I actually think it's almost disrespectful to call it a love story. It's so much more. Even in the climax, you only see a tear drop. No wailing or OTT reaction. Such subtlety. It's Shoojit and Varun's win that they make you want to root for Dan. You desperately want her to wake up just to see where they go from other. I'd still say Varun as an actor did better than the film as a whole but the film stays with you long after its over.
