I like this movie very much. It story is such that it never slow down a bit. U feel connection to it watching this movie. But if there were happy ending to this story i would rated it 10. Varun u proved via this movie that u can play intense character very well.

I will keep my review as simple as the movie itself. The movie opens to Varun's character. He is such a carefree guy, who goes through a journey of love and learns how to care for the other. It's all about feelings, even if one can't express them. October was such a delight to the eye with its fascinating cinematography, and such a delight to the ear with its melodious and melancholic theme. Acting-wise; this is Varun's top performance so far. He is the ace of the movie. On a side note, it's refreshing to see a Bollywood movie without the typical around-the-trees dances and lip-syncing songs and short timed. One last thing, it will definitely stir your emotions without much dialogue or romantic scenes.

Cinema is an integral part of society where we revel upon our form of the art of story telling. Sometimes they speak of stories that make you laugh, cry , feel loved, experience thrill , fear and what not. But with all those plethora of stories there are some which leaves an indelible mark afterwards. "October" is such a story. This movie is not easy to describe in words , but to sum up all I can say is it's a love-story without a love-story. This movie tells the story of human emotions, attachment to a certain idea of being attached, how a simplest thought of acquaintance can bring two people together in the most delicate way and in the toughest of times. The actor Varun Dhawan although a starkid, this movie is the most defining moment of his career. This one definitely removes the usual stigma of star-kid tag from him and marks him as a talented actor. He can deliver given the right story. Shoojit Sircar has again done with with his unconventional direction style and also the cinematography is beautiful. I can't help but mention a particular scene in the movie , the prelude to the climax was the most emotional and a perfect mise en scène for the climax, it will tear you apart from within and will still haunt you even long after the movie.

Its a beautiful portrayal of two people's lives. I could have easily got bored with the basic story the movie, but the performances, direction, cinematography just creates magic on the screen and makes one feel the essence of the film.Varun Dhawan gives a performance of his career by far, the best I have seen by him yet. Banita is also very natural in portraying her character. October has a really good music score which sets you in the mood. I Really liked the Cinematography too.Shoojit Sircar gives another beautiful piece of cinema to movie lovers that has never been seen in a long time.
