Movie Preview: Shoojit Sircar’s ‘October’

Shoojit Sircar is all set to take us on a beautiful journey of love, life and relationships. Presenting the official trailer of October, a unique story about love that goes beyond the normal love stories.

October is a Rising Sun Films & Kino Works’ production, written by Juhi Chaturvedi, directed by Shoojit Sircar starring Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu in lead roles. The movie is slated to release on April 13th, 2018. Follow Spotlife Asia for all the updates.

In the trailer for Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming romantic drama October, the night jasmine or the Parijat flower adds a balmy touch to the grey winters of Delhi. As the trailer opens, Shiuli (Banita Sandhu) spends a moment with the white-petalled and orange-stemmed coral jasmine as she picks it up from the ground. She is named after the flower, after all.

The trailer hints at a deeper connection. The Parijat flowers bloom at night and fall to the ground before the morning sun. Most people see the flowers only after they have fallen from their tree and graced the ground with their sweet fragrance. Shiuli’s relationship with her colleague Dan (Varun Dhawan) seems similar. Shiuli and Dan work at a luxury hotel, but Dan barely notices her even as we see her look at him from afar and smile when she sees him. He does notice her finally, but after he learns that he is the first person she asks about as she is lying on a hospital bed.

This will be the third time that Sircar is collaborating with Chaturvedi, who has written Vicky Donor and Piku.
