Meanwhiile, Mashable India have I Want To Talk 3/5 stars and wrote, “In I Want to Talk, Abhishek Bachchan is an ad-man at the top of his game. He will immediately remind viewers of Don Draper because, well, he’s an ad-man and there’s no other ad-man more iconic than Mad Men’s Don Draper. He also has a similar temperament; he loves to talk, like ad-men do. But it all comes crashing down when he’s diagnosed with throat cancer. He can no longer speak and, hence, the film’s story is narrated as a voiceover by Arjun (Abhishek’s character). Another important aspect of the film is Arjun’s relationship with his daughter Reya; a relationship he takes for granted for the longest time and is content being a ‘weekend dad’ ever since his divorce from his wife. There are clear moments in the film that standout, and all these moments come from the relationships within the story.”
