Barfi



Declared: The movie of the year :) A must watch for all souls.

Pluses:
  • A big relief from Bollywood, kudos to Anurag Basu for showering us with such beautiful moments with 'Barfi'. Brilliant direction and hard hitting experience
  • A big thumbs up to Ranbir Kapoor.He proves it again, that being a good actor isnt enough, nor having a great bod. What makes you a star is the choice of movie you star in. Who says having great expectations puts a lot of pressure on the actor to perform. He does it everytime and with so ease and yet never fails to deliver multiple movies in a year.A big critic to all the other big names and brands in bollywood
  • Priyanka Chopra too comes with  big relief. She was forgotten post Fashion. She had to prove she aint just another Diva, and someone labelled as THE HEROINE and sold. It costs you a lot to be called as a good actor. Cheers to her
  • A lot of South Indian actresses forayed in Bollywood off late. But on my score, Ileana is the only one who passed. She isnt surely a star material, but she charms you in the journey with 'Barfi' wading through different stages of life as the character ages. Her role was equally important where she did hold some key decisions to make, without which the love story wudnt be complete. Good choice to debut in Bollywood under the umbrella of Anurag Basu
  • Never to miss on the script. Such beautiful script, such spellbounding concepts, simplicity put with such ease. Humor which wont age so soon and can be watched again and again. Kudos to scripting
  • This is labelled as a QUALITY movie in close to 3 years in Bollywood, absolutely no dirt, a very clean and truly a UNIVERSAL movie. You can take your family and kids and enjoy without any adulteration threats :P
  • The jingle in the beginning of the movie is worth mentioning. Innovative concept. It has a lot deeper roots to what you experience in the movie, it aint just for fun
  • Love story RE-DEFINED. The take home is not how the disabled or mentally challenged bond, but a tough realisation for all the city dwellers, on how a very simple but yet a deep connect is polluted between two people in today's world with filthy things. It WAS beautiful back then and it can STILL BE so beautiful
  • USP of the flick, there are no villains, no dirt, no ugliness, nothing gore, no wordly truth or reality check. Just an experience
  • The background score was soothing and apt for the movie
Minuses:


Barfi could have had some more beautiful numbers in terms of music. Forgettable songs


My rating: 5/5
