3.5/5

October isn't predictable. The film stays true to its tonality. Shoojit and Juhi remain uncompromising and committed to creating a film that has textures like gossamer.

3/5

Matters are steadied, just, by Sircar's quiet sensitivity towards tiny signs of life.

5/5

An incredible virtue of movies by the Sircar-Chaturvedi duo is that there are no bad guys in their stories; just your everyday Joes and Janes with varying levels of empathy and emotional intelligence.

The film moves with an unhurried rhythm, carried by soft melancholic tunes and the lingering fragrance of flowers. Shoojit Sircar’s direction and Juhi Chaturvedi’s writing give us a love story wrapped in grief, yet touched by hope.

October is an aggressively weird film that would be considered ahead of its time even if it were released now.

I wasn't expecting this to affect me so much. It starts with something simple, but gradually becomes a deeply emotional experience. Varun Dhawan delivers an outstanding performance, and the subtle storytelling makes everything feel genuine. The ending really got to me. It's slow and not everyone's cup of tea, but I found something beautiful and touching in its simplicity.

I was watching the movie without any prior knowledge just saw some of its reel on my ig.. from many months it was on my bucket list . Its was over all a good movie not a masterpiece but worth the watching . We didnt get the happy ending sadly and the character development Dan went through is soo good. You should definetly give it a chance .
