I think I made a huge mistake.’ After experimenting with directors of different genres and caliber, Abhishek said that nothing was working in his favour. Abhishek took a deep breath and said, “Maybe it’s time to be honest with myself and say, ‘Hey, you’re not made for this. You’re not good enough. Find something else to do.’

I want to talk.. that’s all it does.. it invites you to be the movie.. It gently wakes you up from your movie.” Sit in the theater and put you, just as gently, inside the screen on which it is being projected.. and you watch its life float by… no effort or chance to escape from it… escapism ..and ..Abhishek.. you are not Abhishek.. you are the Arjun Sen of the film.”

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, “I Want to Talk plays on the tropes that prop up stories of ‘ terminally ill’ people but it defies genre conventions sparingly, sensitively and with quietly devastating effect.
