Review of Barfi! (2012) by Pranay S — 05 Oct 2012
A wonderful allegory of optimism and simplicity. This one has award winning performances by Ranbir/Priyanka/Ileana with a talented supporting cast and an absolutely melodious background score that transports you into "Barfi"'s world of Chaplinesque fun.
The locales and street views of Darjeeling and its many hues are beautifully captured by the cinematographer and you almost want to plan a trip right after seeing this. Ranbir is a shoo-in for best actor (national award perhaps?) and Priyanka needs to be applauded for her de-glam portrayal (her character appeared more spastic than autistic) and Ileana plays the conflicted character superbly.
For all that has been heard or said about this movie, one thing is for certain... this movie will leave you with a smile.
