I Want To Talk review

The film has got a 7.2 rating on IMDb.

NDTV praised I Want to Talk for telling a story filled with pain and heartbreak, but without dwelling too much on the suffering surrounding Arjun.

Filmfare also commended Abhishek Bachchan's performance, noting how he fully embraced the character, revealing a side of him that hasn't been seen in a while.

However, some critics felt the film could have explored its themes more deeply, with The Guardian giving it a 2 out of 5 stars and suggesting that more setup could have strengthened the emotional impact.
