Varun was superb in October! i wonder why this performance is so underrated on this forum.
For me, he was able to completely rip off his commercial image through October. To say that Dan is a complex character to essay may very well be an understatement. I don't mean to say that Dan is not someone who you won't come across in your everyday life, that is highly likely. But still, just like the rest of us, there is a certain uniqueness about him. His set of values and emotions are starkly different from the ones around him.

Why do you guys think this performance is not even worthy of a Filmfare nomination?

he make me so proud.
Dan had my heart it was such a beautiful character and very subtle performance. the only thing I didn't like was that the movie didn't have songs in it and it seemed like it just wanted an unhappy ending to be dramric.

BUT I also think that his performance in sui dhaagi was amazing. gosh that puppy scene stole my heart. even though the movie ended up being very unrealistic loved his performance.


I am surprised that his acting in both movies are being underappreciated

Dan have my heart...he was lovely in the film. For someone of a MTH OR JUDWAA 2 to completely let go of it and be Dan he was amazing. Also I enjoyed Sui Dhaaga...

Haven't watched October cuz I really cannot handle emo movies, but VD is one of those versatile actors who can play comedy and senti roles fabulously.

I changed my opinion about Varun after October and that he has so much potential to do better than cringe-worthy characters he has done in movies like Dishoom, Dilwale or the one with Nargis and Illeana; can't recall the name. He was great in Badlapur as well but the key elements of the character was not much different from the rest.
In October, he went completely 360 and I was surprised he managed to ace it.
Dan was extremely endearing and relatable. He completely won my heart with beautifully enacted emotions.
Now I really looking forward to movies starring Varun and I hope he does more movies like October.

October is easily one of the best movies of 2018.

Varun was just so good in October. I will always be proud of him for doing this film and taking such risk. Dan is now my all time favorite character. I am glad shoojit gave varun this role.
Also he started shooting for this movie just 4-5 days after judwa 2. Shows a lot how he can do completely different character and movies. Even his performance in mauji was such a complete performance. He has grown so much❤️. Can't wait for his anti-hero role in kalank now.
Only here he his performance is not being appreciated, on every other platforms his performance is being rated as one of the best and in top 5 of the year.
