This Review Of October Through Pictures Will Tell You Why This Film Is An Unique Cinematic Experience
What happens when one of the most unique and distinguished directors of Bollywood presently collaborates with the most successful entertainer of the new generation comes together? The answer is they bring October early in April. The Varun Dhawan and Banitha Sandhu starrer October, directed by Shoojit Sircar has already hit the screens today and the poignant story of hapless love is heart-warming and heart-wrenching with equal intensity.
Watching October you will realize, that there are some films that cannot be explained, thus we thought the best way to share the essence of this film would be through pictures.
Varun Dhawan in October is almost unrecognizable as Dan. Quirky, motor-mouth and full of idiosyncracies Dan is a male lead in Bollywood unlike any other. He is naive to the point of being frustrating but yet it is him who is basically the pillar of the film and delivers a performance that is completely stripped off the starry aura that he is usually known for, It is his journey from which the film derives its soul.
While the movie manages to evoke a deluge of emotions and makes you question life as we live it, it obviously had its own share of flaws. High on emotional quotient, here is what we think worked and didn't work for the film.
Although not a very high budget film, October is an elaborate cinematic affair. It is basically a very simple story that is enhanced by the exceptional execution. October is one of those films which beautifully blends the technical aspects with the heartfelt aesthetics of the film. Here are some of the key elements of the film that we deserved a specific and detailed discussion.
