The box office performance of I Want To Talk has seen a significant dip on its fourth day of release. The film, starring Abhishek Bachchan, had a solid start with earnings of ₹25 lakh on Day 1, ₹55 lakh on Day 2, and ₹53 lakh on Day 3. However, it faced a sharp decline on Day 4, grossing just ₹13 lakh nett, according to early estimates from Sacnilk.com. This brought its total collection so far to ₹1.46 crore.
The film’s performance on Monday (Day 4) also marked a significant drop compared to Bachchan’s last release, Ghoomer, which had earned ₹40 lakh on its first Monday in 2023. The overall occupancy for I Want To Talk on Monday stood at only 8.71%, which reflects the sharp decline in audience interest after the opening weekend.
In terms of reviews, I Want To Talk has received mixed responses. The Hindustan Times described Abhishek’s performance as utilizing his “real life demeanour” effectively, with his character delivering some notable one-liners. The film’s pacing, however, was noted as an issue, with comparisons drawn to Amitabh Bachchan’s portrayal of an aging father in Piku, suggesting a similar dynamic between father and daughter in I Want To Talk.
Overall, while Abhishek Bachchan’s star power and performance were appreciated, the film’s lackluster box office performance and pacing issues seem to have affected its reception, with a significant drop in earnings on the fourth day.
