BARFI

Quick Review By - Lt Col D Purushtohtman Pillay (Retd)

The simple story of discovery during the journey of life, of the nuances of love by two challenged and one normal young soul, that defies societal definitions and physical afflictions, set in a misty Darjeeling.

A good story, but horribly confusing screenplay; salvaged only by the excellent performance of the lead pair. Despite its length and many flaws; primarily due to the story being told through multiple perspectives, it is in the end, an unusual, yet nice love triangle that elicits many heart-warming laughs because of the simple situations and innocence of the protagonists. A different viewing experience from the run of the mill fare that is being churned out by Bollywood of late. One leaves the cinema happy that true love needs no words and will always find its way. A big round of applause for Ranbir & Priyanka, Illeana did her bit very creditably. Must be complimented for its positive portrayal of the differently abled. See it one wont regret it.
