Sometimes it is easier to say the person who has the simpler acting to do is doing the heavy lifting. When the coma patient regained consciousness which was for well over more than half of the film. That was when they needed an actress like Banita. Who was doing so much acting through her eyes and subtleties alone. The type of acting required from Varun is very common and not as challenging.
Banita did very well with the portions assigned to her. And I'm looking forward to something more significant from her. But that does not discount the fact that Varun acted very well in October. I think his critics and fans both agree on that factor. He had a good handle on the character's negative traits (selfishness, the need to *always* prove that he's the smartest person in the room) as well as his positive traits (sheer unwillingness to give up on his love, the budding maturity). It's not an easy balance. Of course the screenplay and the director managed his performance very well. As we all know Varun has a tendency for overacting unless he's reined in.
