In I Want To Talk, Abhishek features as a middle-aged radio show host who finds himself lonely, regretting and searching a sense of meaning in a world which appears to have forgotten him. The idea behind the film might be a simple one, but the performance coupled with the gripping performance of Abhishek have made it a memory to watch. The audience has applauded the way he expresses the perplexing emotions by using silence, non-verbal cues, and pure vulnerability which was a different aspect of him that the audience had never witnessed.
Abhishek has been brought to the best by the director of the film, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, who is the director of Pink and Lost. It has been observed that the actor has finally scored a role which suits his low profile style of acting and maturity. One of the reviewers wrote that he does not perform, he merely turns into the character and that his acting is a masterclass of restraint.
In the years, Abhishek Bachchan has been subjected to enormous criticism – who is likened to his legendary father, Amitabh Bachchan and is at times referred to as an underrated actor. But I Want To Talk has altered that story altogether. The movie is being proclaimed as his career redemption, and most label it as a turning point that solidifies his role as one of the most sophisticated actors of his age.
Appreciations have also been floating in the social media. The fans have referred to it as the Swades moment of Abhishek where Shah Rukh Khan once transformed himself through an emotion-based and realism-related role. Even its detractors who had been skeptical have acknowledged that I Want To Talk brings out the maturity of Abhishek as an artist who no longer needs validation but prefers roles that would provide him with a challenge in his creativity.
The music, the cinematography and the writing of the film are all a good support to the performance of Abhishek. The silent intensity of his eyes, the pauses between his conversations and the scenes of emotional breakdowns have resonated with the audience. The final act of the movie, in which the character of Abhishek gives an emotional radio monologue, has left many viewers bawling, as they attested.
Abhishek has never had a smooth sail in his career, with both praiseworthy performances in Guru and Yuva, to being wrongly dismissed by others in the media. However, through I Want To Talk, he appears to have gone the full circle; and he demonstrates that talent will come out at the right time.
Abhishek told him in his recent interview that this movie helped him express himself as never before. It is not about showing anything, it is about relating. I am happy that human beings are experiencing that connection.
With the film still enjoying critical acclaim and positive word of mouth, the transformation of Abhishek Bachchan can be seen as one of the most motivating ones, reminding all artists that their moment has come, and in his case, it is now.
