'October' is not bound by Indian sensibility alone; it is a humane story that will possibly enjoy a much wider appeal across international audiences.

In love and relationships, a lot remains unsaid and undefined. What can't find it's way into words, will find a way to flow out. Let it. The fragrant memory of Shiuli (the Bengali name for Night Jasmine) and Dan's unconditional story will linger long after. Go, take it all in. (more)

Poetic, but distorted tale of two acquaintances

We all are fighting like Varun Dhawan and winning

Shantanu Moitra's October theme strikes equilibrium between Dan's inner and outer worlds. At 115-minute, October doesn't give you a chance to look beyond the case unfolding in front of you.(more)

Varun Dhawan-Banita Sandhu starrer film is a soul-stirring watch

If you're the sort who doesn't give up on life easily, you should watch October. It's got passion and more importantly, it's got soul.(more)
