The film 'I Want To Talk, directed by Shoojit Sircar, had a weak opening at the box office in India.
According to Sacnilk.com, it earned under ₹1 crore on its opening day, Friday.
The slice-of-life drama was released worldwide on November 22. It is produced by Rising Sun Films and Kino Works.
Early estimates show the film earned just ₹25 lakh nett in India. The overall Hindi occupancy on Friday was 7.44%.
The film stars Abhishek Bachchan in the lead role. It performed lower than his previous release 'Ghoomer' (2023).
'Ghoomer' earned ₹85 lakh on its opening day. A review from 'Hindustan Times' mentioned that Abhishek skillfully used his laid-back personality in the role. However, the film had pacing issues.
The first half was engaging, but the second half dragged on. Despite this, the film ended on a hopeful note.
In a recent interview with news agency PTI, Abhishek shared his experience of gaining weight for the role of Arjun.
He revealed that the weight gain was real, not achieved through prosthetics. He also warned against gaining weight for roles at his age. Losing the weight afterward can be difficult. Shoojit Sircar revealed that *I Want To Talk* is inspired by a real-life story.
