Love needs expression not
language, it requires feelings no boundaries, it’s beyond oceans, beyond
limits- Free and Beautiful but only few know how to live it. Barfi as its name
is sweet, full of aroma, delicious and tasty. This in true sense expresses love
without any language, caste, creed or color –Selfless with heart; an impeccable
cinema worth watching with your beloved, friends and family.
Murphy popularly known as Barfi (Ranbir Kapoor) among his circle
has grown up without his mother exploring love with life since childhood living
with his father in Darjeeling. One day he met Shruti Ghosh (Ileans
D'Cruz) who got shifted to Darjeeling due to her father’s transfer and
fallen in love with her. Her irresistible beauty pushed him to propose her but
got rejected as she was already engaged. He then offered his friendship and
asked her to forget the proposal instance which she heartily accepted. But the
friendship between the two got intense and Shruti fell in love with Barfi. The
story came alive in front of her mother and she made her understand the
practicality of life and infatuation. Shruti got married and went to Kolkata.
Here Barfi’s father health condition got worsened with kidney failure and
doctor instructed Barfi to submit 7000 INR for the operation. Barfi plan to
kidnap his Jhilmil (Priyanka Chopra) who is a girl with autism and Barfi’s
childhood friend but from here everything got reversed and Barfi fall in love
again with troubles and life
Barfi ! Essentially is a chapter of life which has numerable
good moments to recall, laugh and to love with. Every character is well placed
without being dramatic with excellent music, performances, direction and
screenplay.
Anurag Basu- the
director has done extraordinary work in terms of narrating the story. Like ‘Inception’
his narrative style takes you in flashback and a flashback within a flashback
to narrate a simple story in its most impactful form without creating
confusions to audience. Every story has been woven perfectly till climax.
Despite the destiny of characters what audience recalls some beautiful moments,
cheer, laughs, true love and sacrifice. Each and every prank on screen gives
you a bucketful humor and feel good factor whether it’s Barfi-cop
chase or Barfi’s effort to impress Jhilmil and Shruti throughout the movie.
Ranbir Kapoor- Well
this guy has redefined himself, and the only commercial cinema star of recent
times who knows how to act ,dance and laugh with perfection. Whether it was
‘wake up sid’, ‘Raajneeti’or ‘Rockstar’ with every movie he has successfully
set benchmark for himself but with this movie he has set benchmark even for
others. The beauty of his character is despite being deaf and dump in the movie
not a single moment you will realize that he even requires to speak. His
expressions are heartwarming and simply outstanding.
Priyanka Chopra –
Luckily we have a pool of talented actress these days and Priyanka Chopra with
this movie will give a tough challenge to her peers. Her expressions as an
autism child are natural and clean. Her feelings for Ranbir as a lady could be
easily readable and this is undoubtedly one of the best performances of her
career.
Ileana D'Cruz- She
is one the best debutant this year, extremely good looking and charming she
never gives the feeling of a new comer. She does her job perfectly as a
narrator and as an actor.
Saurabh Shukla as a cop
made his presence memorable throughout the movie running after Barfi.
Regarding Music, Pritam’s
tracks are memorable and heartwarming and kudos to all lyrists who has penned
down the beautiful songs of the movie. All songs are ear and heart friendly you
just won’t stop humming ‘Iss dil ka karoo ’, phir le aya dil’,’saanwali si
raat’,’ala barfi’ and can ask for more
Cinematography by Ravi
Varman is notable and worth mentioning.
Thou it’s impossible to write all good moments of the movie here
since Barfi had plenty of them thou still following could be worth
mentioning
- Barfi’s Act of offering his
heart to Shruti as a proposal
- Barfi’s act of testing
friendship by chopping down the wooden street light
- Barfi’s act of impressing
Jhilmil by capturing fireflies in water bubbles
- Barfi’s Dance is Shruti’s
private party
- Barfi’s act of sending message
to jhilmil by throwing his shoes in air
Barfi is a way of life, it has potential to make you laugh without
getting dirty, it has power to make you cry without getting dramatic and it has
energy to teach you love for all without being a documentary. Barfi is perfect
in all sense. And for those who could ask why I have written an inch away
from Masterpiece ,well being a critique we always expect more than what
we got but as soon as the wedding bells rings in the end it was obvious that
Barfi has crossed that inch of perfection…It’s a Masterpiece of Indian Cinema.
