In “I Want to Talk,” the protagonist Arjun, played by Abhishek Bachchan, is introduced as a successful advertising professional who prides himself on being a dedicated father. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he is diagnosed with cancer and given only 100 days to live. Determined to fight the disease, Arjun embarks on a journey of surgeries and physical transformation.
The film explores the controversial idea of battling cancer, with some finding it empowering while others find it insulting. Arjun believes that he can overcome the disease through sheer willpower, leading to emotional highs and lows as he grapples with his mortality.
However, the film struggles to establish Arjun’s character and life before the diagnosis, leaving the audience disconnected from his journey. While the emotional themes and dramatic moments are present, the lack of depth in character development hinders the impact of the story.
Despite being based on a true story, “I Want to Talk” may not resonate with audiences who are not familiar with the real-life events. Ultimately, the film falls short in effectively portraying Arjun’s struggles and personal growth.
“I Want to Talk” is set to release in cinemas on November 22nd, offering a dramatic exploration of life, death, and the will to fight against adversity.
