October is about the instability and brittleness that everyone encounters in life.

The story mainly revolves around Danish Walia aka Dan (Varun Dhawan) and Shiuli Iyer (Banita Sandhu) who are doing their Diploma in Hotel Management together in Delhi. Dan’s character is more like that of a guy who thinks irrationally, is impulsive and infuriating but also naïve and good-hearted. Where as on the other hand Shiuli is considerate and affectionate. There’s no way there’s a match in between these two.

Dan is ambitious and hates to be told what to do. Every task he’s assigned he fails to complete it diligently. All other guys with him in the same batch of diploma successfully complete their probation period. While partying on the hotel rooftop with her colleagues, Shiuli slips from there, sustains serious injuries and it turns out to be a severe accident resulting in her going into coma.

Shiuli happens to be a kind and polite girl and not exactly Dan’s BFF. But things take a different turn when he gets to know that the last words before Shiuli fell were, “Where’s Dan?”

Now what exactly does that mean? It definitely didn’t mean that she was interested in him. But for some reason, Dan is far more troubled than Shiuli’s best friend about the mishap that happened. But interesting thing is that, this crucial accident brings Shiuli and Dan closer and in the process changes Dan.

The background is best thing about this movie because there’s hardly any. There’s very subtle music, which allows you to consider and feel the agony of the person who’s acting. The stillness and flow is the actual element of the movie. The charm is the simplicity of this movie.

And Shoojit Sircar is the man who really knows how to bring out tenderness from Varun Dhawan. The best is when he gets the parlor lady to get Shiuli’s brows done. That is heart warming. Banita Sandhu’s performance is not an easy one either. She’s just stock-still! Every character has done complete fairness to their respective roles. Especially Shiuli’s mother Prof. Vidya Iyer (Gitanjali Rao) as a single mother who doesn’t give up on her daughter in spite of her brother-in-law’s impassive opinions.

Cinematographer Avik Mukhopadhyay has shown the core of every city the film has been shot in. The foggy winters of Delhi and Kullu Manali’s spring flowers. Or even the close ups of the shiuli flower is perfect.

We’d rather say it’s capricious love that one might think could turn into something. But it changes a person immeasurably to care about someone’s actions and feelings when they have no expectations ahead.
