October (2018) is a poignant Indian drama directed by Shoojit Sircar. The film follows the life of Dan (Varun Dhawan), a young hotel management trainee, who is emotionally detached and indifferent to the world around him. His life takes a drastic turn when one of his colleagues, Shiuli (Banita Sandhu), meets with a severe accident, leaving her in a coma. As Dan becomes involved in caring for Shiuli, an unexpected bond forms between them, leading him to confront his own emotional barriers.

The movie beautifully explores themes of love, guilt, and human connection. It is a tender, slow-burn narrative that delves into the complexities of relationships, both with others and oneself. Dan’s transformation throughout the film is marked by his gradual realization of how little he understands the value of life and human emotion, and how caring for Shiuli changes his perspective. The film’s understated yet profound storytelling and captivating performances make October a deeply emotional and reflective experience.
