MUMBAI: A dimly lit living room, a steaming cup of chai in hand, and Prime Video on your screen. You click ‘play’, thinking you're ready for Shoojit Sircar's latest masterpiece, I Want To Talk.
Spoiler alert—you’re not ready.
Known for crafting stories that hit you like a runaway truck full of feels (Piku, anyone?), Shoojit Sircar has once again proven he’s the maestro of raw emotions. And this time, he’s teamed up with Abhishek Bachchan—yes, the guy we all once (perhaps unfairly) dismissed as the not-so-Amitabh. But let’s hold that thought because this movie flips the script entirely.
In I Want To Talk, Abhishek delivers a career-defining performance that says, “Remember me? Well, you will now.” Shoojit Sircar, with his midas touch, peels back layers of humanity so deeply you’ll find yourself questioning your life choices, texting old friends, and yes, sobbing into that aforementioned chai.
So, clear your weekend plans, charge your emotions, and prepare to be wrecked—in the best possible way.
In I Want to Talk, Abhishek Bachchan steps into the shoes of Arjun Sen, a sharp, chatty Bengali man chasing the "American Dream." But here’s the kicker: Arjun has just 100 days to live. Yep, you read that right—100 days to untangle a lifetime of complications. From reuniting with his estranged seven-year-old daughter to redefining what truly matters, this father-daughter saga is all about finding connection in the chaos.
With a stellar cast including Ahilya Bamroo, Johnny Lever, Jayant Kriplani, Pearle Dey, and Kristin Goddard, and backed by the visionary team at Rising Sun Films, I Want To Talk promises to be as moving as it is inspiring.
Speaking about the film, Sircar said, “I Want To Talk is a poignant reminder of the indomitable power of human connection and resilience. I've always been fascinated by the complexities of human relationships and how these can help one heal and transform.”
Honestly, Sircar’s track record—from Piku to October—has been impeccable. So, are we surprised that this film is already being dubbed a masterpiece? Not really.
Still on the fence? Here are three reasons to hit play on Prime Video tonight:
1. The Plot: A 100-day ticking clock? Stakes don’t get higher—or more emotional—than that.
2. The Cast: Abhishek Bachchan in one of his career-best performances, alongside a powerhouse supporting cast.
3. The Director: Shoojit Sircar’s genius at weaving intricate human emotions is unmatched.
Add to that the stunning cinematography and a soul-stirring soundtrack, and you’ve got a movie that’s not just watched—it’s felt.
Prime members in 240+ countries and territories can stream the movie starting today. If you’ve ever needed a reason to renew that subscription, this is it.
What would you do if you had just 100 days left? Would you chase old dreams, mend broken relationships, or binge-watch every Shoojit Sircar film on Prime? Maybe all three?
