The misdirection is skilful and pleasing, but I do wish the beautifully beguiling beginning hadn't turned out to be an example of the same.

The film insists too hard that we find the magical in the mundane. I wish Barfi! the film was as magical as Barfi the character. See it for him.

Let us first give credit where it is due. If not for the brave new production houses like UTV who produce a Barfi with similar value as a Rowdy Rathore, getting these stories into mainstream Bollywood would have been very difficult. Unlike earlier movies

With heaps of charm and poignancy, Barfi traces human spirit, relationships, thru chaplinesque comedy in some parts and smiles through tears in many others. You get as involved in Barfi’s journey as all his fellow co-stars and you’re taken on this breezy

On the whole, Barfi falls in those categories of feel good cinema. Scintillating performances, decent music and fresh look of the film are sure shot plus points. On the flip side Barfi doesn’t have the regular commercial entertainment factors. This is a k

Barfi!’ manages to make you forget just that by narrating a lighthearted tragedy that wins particularly for what it doesn’t do: It doesn’t draw a pitiful picture of the deaf-mute lead. It doesn’t attempt to do anything that would suggest that it has been
