I want to talk, In places, taps into an important conversation – how Reya’s role as a caregiver affects her family and how Sen deals with his growing dependence on the people around him, especially as a Who finds solace in control. But the film spends most of the first half watching Arjun and his lucky bag go from one appointment to another, from one surgery to the next. And while this is certainly an important part of the story – the repetition and the ‘wait’ – there was enough room to put more into these quieter moments.
This is where the film picks up in the latter half – when we see how Arjun interacts with the people around him, especially his surgeon Jayant (Jayant Kripalani). Kripalani plays the role in a mechanical manner that borders on carelessness but never flinches. As someone who has gone through this routine several times over the years, he delivers the worst news as if he’s reading a menu.
I’m very glad that the film doesn’t rely on light, sad background music to make its point, but without a strong script at hand, the film loses some of its emotional depth. At several points in the film I found myself thinking, ‘This scene should have brought tears to my eyes,’ but it didn’t. I want to talk, Despite resting on the capable shoulders of Bachchan, there are no words to make Sen’s story shine the way it should.
