FRIDAY REVIEW - BARFI: One Film a Year and make sure it hits the BULL’s EYE in both terms , Collection as well as Audience liking…. Looks like Ranbir Kapoor is making this as his theme line…. The National award winner for ROCKSTAR is back again with another scintillating performance … But taking an exact opposite route where he has no scope to shout or yell at (ROCKSTAR). ..A character who is technically mute and hearing impaired.
He plays the title role (BARFI) , a fun loving guy who believes in “ live every moment happily”… Like any other story , enters a rich engaged girl Shruti (played by Telugu star ILEANA), who falls for the mimics and subtle nature of Barfi . But practicality strikes where she is forced to choose material comforts over him and go with the riches .. The screen does not lack the female content as enters a new character, Jil-Mil (Priyanka chopra ), who due to her autism disorder is neglected by her parents but seeks her happiness in Barfi's life. The story moves on as we see barfi's father needing money for kidney operation for which Barfi plans to kidnap jilmil and demand for ransom. Twists come into the plot when she is really kidnapped by someone.... Who kidnaps jilmil?... Does Shruti comeback for Barfi? ..Will Barfi be able to find love in Jilmil?.... You need to hit the theatres for these answers....
Love has no language barrier... Same goes for the movie too ....Even those who do not understand hindi can go for BARFI as 70% percent of movie goes on Background score....That does not mean the pace is slow... Ranbir's Charlie chaplin act keeps you engaged through out... The story moves between 1972 1978 and present in Shruti's narration and keeps audience to think about at certain places... Applause to director Anurag basu who has not restricted the movie only to sympathy mood.... One will get all moments of cinema in it..
Coming to the Lead characters, Ranbir is making a habit to make a run for National award as he does a Charlie-Chaplin cum Mr.Bean . He lives the character and mixes his expressions for every other second. He seriously has put in a great effort to dwell in the BARFI role... If this was one side, Anyone would seriously argue with priyanka's role which is equally best.. The lower lip closed, and ever deviating eyes with costumes matching to it , Priyanka does not seem like a thirty plus old... The scenes where only Ranbir and Priyanka are found , The movie moves in just music...with no dialogues... just the love between the lead pair....which is fresh as a new born baby....pure affection which surely makes every audience to enjoy .
Ileana , a bollywood debutee, (though a lead southern star), carries over the role of a bengali wife who still cannot forget her love. The narration where she accepts as well as rejects barfi's affection for Jilmil due to her love over barfi requires mention here.... The music plays the silent hero in BARFI as it is the only vocal at most of the places....
In total, Barfi makes it a must for all to come to Theatre and enjoy the music filled ride ...Ranbir and Priyanka will take you through a ride of 2.5 hours which will live in your minds for long... RATED 4.5/5
