So I am not a big fan of Bollywood, because of the crappy masala movies it produces. But recently there has been some breeze of fresh air, when we had movies like Masan, Lunch box, Piku which are not pointless like a lot of movies are. October is an attempt to be one of these movie which is not a typical bollywood movie, but what we call as "Sensible Cinema". But all I can say is "well tried". Because the main intention of cinema is to be entertaining. You can be delivering the most serious message in you movie, but YOU HAVE TO BE ENTERTAINING to have that kind of impact. The movie has a story-line which is quite unique, but the pace of the movie is very disappointing... Things dont move at all, or the move veeerrrrrryyyyy slow. Varun Dhawan is improving himself, but there is a long way to go for him. I think he is a bit over-appreciated for this movie. The movie makes you emotional at time, but doesn't cross that threshold when you burst into tears... So all I can say for this movie is "Well Tried guys, can do better!!"

Why did I watched Roy... mostly because of my trust on Ranbeer Kappor... But then I asked myself what is he doing in such a movie. Then I asked what is anybody doing in this movie... and then I asked what am I doing in the theatare. But in spite of repeated temptations to leave the theatare, I survived till the end, mainly because I hoped something will happen. but that's the trouble. Nothing at all happens in the movie. From start to end, in most of the scenes there is only one character on screen, generally smoking or drinking. the dialogues and monologues(there are a lot of monologues) are not natural. A lot of scenes, if not all, are unnecessary. there are hardly 4-5 characters in the movie (including both real and imaginary characters), out of which 2 are played by Jacklin. First Jacklin is the sri lankan beauty we know ( that came as a relief) other Jacklin is wearing some kind of makeup which is making her look like a vampire. Songs are good... but their placement is so abrupt in the two and a half hour movie , and you are so bored with the movie that you can hardly enjoy them. Locations are good, but monotonous dark and gloomy picturization spoils them too. I can understand that the director did not wanted to make a Bollywood masala movie, but trust me, this movie is not above Masala, This is way below Masala. Conclusion: Don't watch this movie even if you are paid for it.
