“A simple idea became something meaningful,” says Abhishek Bachchan as he talks about a film that sparked a movement
A year ago, I Want To Talk, quietly entered the world and what began as an intimate story about human fragility and the need to be heard evolved into one of the most emotionally powerful cinematic experiences of recent times. As the film completes one year today, the acclaimed actor Abhishek Bachchan reflects on a journey that transformed him both personally and artistically.
“One year of I Want To Talk, and I’m genuinely grateful for every story, every silence, and every honest conversation it brought my way. This journey has taught me more about people and myself than I expected. Thank you for listening, for sharing, and for allowing a simple idea to become something meaningful.”

I Want To Talk directed by the celebrated filmmaker Shoojit Sircar follows a deeply moving narrative rooted in emotional truth, exploring silence, vulnerability, and the internal battles many people fight in isolation. Abhishek Bachchan’s performance as Arjun, which is raw and stripped of all frills, was widely praised for its honesty and restraint, marking one of the finest character studies of his career.
The film found global resonance, earning widespread acclaim at prestigious international platforms and winning multiple awards across categories. Audiences and critics alike celebrated the film for its sensitive approach and its refusal to sensationalize pain. Instead, it offered a quiet but powerful reminder of why conversations matter, and why listening can be an act of love. As I Want To Talk marks its first anniversary, it stands not merely as a film, but as a conversation that continues to echo where silence once lived.
