‘I Want To Talk’ box office collection Day 6: Abhishek Bachchan and Shoojit Sircar’s emotional drama struggles on its first Wednesday |
Shoojit Sircar is one of the most renowned directors of the industry. His movies are not only entertaining, they leave a lasting impression. He opens a dialogue with his work, and that is exactly what he tried to do with his latest release ‘I Want To Talk.’ Starring Abhishek Bachchan, the movie opened with a collection of Rs 25 lakh in India, and on day 2 it made a business of Rs55 lakh. However, since then it has been a sloppy ride for the Abhishek Bachchan starrer. According to the Sacnilk report, on its first Wednesday, i.e. day 6, the movie made a mere Rs 12 lakh, making the total so far Rs.1.82 crore.
Here’s a summary of ‘I Want To Talk Talk’ box office collection so far. As aforementioned, it opened with Rs25 lakh and made Rs55 lakh on day 2. Following the same, on day 3, it made Rs53 lakh, which wasn’t much of a dip, but on day 4, it witnessed a huge drop with the collection going down to Rs17 lakh. Day 5 saw the movie try to keep a grip and collect Rs18 lakhs; however, day 6 again witnessed a big drop as it minted only Rs 12 lakh.
‘I Want To Talk’
‘I Want To Talk’ is a story of a single father. He is separated from his wife and lives with his daughter Reya. The movie shows that he is a marketing genius living in the USA, but at the peak of his career, he is diagnosed with an advanced stage of Laryngeal cancer. In his condition, he is left with a mere 100 days to live, which he chooses to spend with his loved ones.
Reviewing the movie, Times Of India ‘I Want To Talk’ 3.5 stars and mentioned – “Arjun is bruised not broken. There’s a certain nonchalance about Shoojit Sircar’s (Piku, October) gaze as a storyteller. It grows on you slowly and steadily. As it happens in life too, emotions are not always verbalised or expressed freely. There’s a lot of withholding and long pauses, which can be perceived as detachment or aloofness but it’s just him using silence and monotony to lead you to that breaking point. The one, you don’t see coming. There’s a certain stillness to story progression and yet you find yourself immersed in every scene.”
