Leave your thoughts about October.
| Hindustan TimesRohit VatsCalling October only a love story will be injustice to its resilient tone. It's a battle, both inter-personal and intra-personal. It's not about logic or wise decisions, it's about how far can you go for the things you believe in. |
| Film Companion ReviewsRahul DesaiWhile movies regularly pivot on those who use heartbreak to find passion, October meditates on those who might never discover the difference between the two feelings. |
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathOctober is the most ambitious collaboration yet between director Shoojit Sircar and screenwriter Juhi Chaturvedi. |
| FilmfareDevesh SharmaShoojit Sircar has exceeded himself and has given us a slow burner that doesn't hold its punches, doesn't give us false promises and yet teaches us that life can yet be beautiful even in the most adverse circumstances. |
| Film Companion ReviewsAnupama ChopraOctober 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. |
| GuardianMike McCahillIf October feels more tentative than Piku, which had rock-solid star turns to ground it, its emotion is at the last earned honestly: any structural wobbles will be nothing compared with the audience’s lower lips come the finale. |
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjusha RadhakrishnanThis film was as exciting as getting my blood drawn from a nurse for visa renewal purposes. |
