Where did you watch this movie?

Dan, 21, leads a carefree life, revolving around a bunch of friends and fellow hotel interns. Shiuli, a colleague, is often at a receiving end of Dan’s audaciousness. Life goes on until a sudden turn of events smashes Dan and Shiuli’s lives together in an unusual bond. The emotional connection between them goes through a metamorphosis that brings out a form of love that’s unlike other, and leads to an internal awakening. October is a story of love... yet not a love story.

A refreshingly clean and emotional movie

October was a fresh breath of air, where the focus was on the screen play and characterization. Screenplay is the king, as the story is just a one liner. It is a simple story of a couple of trainees people working at a hotel and a freak accident changes the life and perspective of the hero Dan (Varun Dhawan).

The casting was apt but the surprise package was Varun Dhawan. In this movie he has proved his acting skills and that he is more that a good physic and dance skills. Banita Sandhu as Shuili acts primarily with her eyes and Gitanjali Rao as her mother is expresses her agony and hope with such consummate ease. All the support characters did their part well.

The background score elevates the mood of the movie and holds the dramatic tension, hats off to Shantanu Moitra. Point to be noted here is that the movie has no song and dance sequence.

The entire movie is delicately laced with humour, which I did not expect considering the serious nature of the events.

A must watch for anyone who likes good cinema.
