Barfi!

Wow. What a movie! I could only say this when I saw the movie twice. I had to rewind and forward and rewind and forward the movie several times (on the same day) to truly soak in each scene of the movie, and appreciate the beauty of the direction and story. This is in the class of The English Patient, Life is Beautiful, Sadma and such movies that doesn’t deserve a single viewing. This one has mystery, romance, adventure and tragedy all packed into one solid punch. One really needs to see it on a system where dialogs and scenes can be heard back and forth at the viewer’s pleasure – not just once, like on the Big Screen. Many scenes seen during the first viewing makes complete sense when the movie is seen twice or even thrice. It is a movie (similar to the aforementioned movies) that completely gut-wrenched me and the hangover lasted for most of the next day. Very few movies touch me so much. And this is one of them. Truly top class!

a chicken soup for the soul sort of a movie. loved it, Ranbir is the next badshah of the silver screen. his acting was superb. some may argue that the plot aped Charlie Chaplin's movies, but then i loved it. So was Priyanka Chopra, who played the role of an autistic child very well.all in all a movie projects a serious topic using good comedy.

I simply loved this movie. The intricacies of love have been delicately explored through this sweet movie. Ranbir, Illeana and Priyanka are each brilliant in their own roles. Quite a touching story. Sometimes, just the mere presence of the other person makes us feel blessed. And this movie does make you feel blessed once you see it.
