" A beautiful retro style fast paced arcade running game where you play as Ranbir Kapoor and try to outrun the chasing cops.How far can you run. "
I saw the movie today, and trust me most of it with a smile on my lips. Some parts of it are so hilarious that i only just didn't fall off the bed. Its a very different movie and very difficult to sum up in exact words.
Firstly, it has not tried to evoke any emotions of sympathy empathy or helplessness towards the special people in our society.
The message is very straight and clear, cherish life and dont give up without a fight.
Its about a deaf and dumb boy named Murphy ( Ranbir Kapoor ), "Barfi".He’s quite the charmer, especially with the ladies. His energy is infectious and so is his confidence. The movie has been written and directed by Anurag Basu.
His bitter-sweet relationship with two beautiful young woman, Shruti ( Ileana D'Cruz ) and Jhilmil ( Priyanka Chopra ) sets in motion a chain of events that will turn his life upside down.Ileana is also the narrator of the movie .
Barfi is akin to a whiff of fresh air. Its foremost triumph is that it leaves you with a powerful emotion: Happiness!" The setting of the movie is in Darjeeling, and surprisingly the modest backgrounds are hardly noticed in-front of the power packed performances of the actors. The scenes in and outside the train are very well shot.
Ileana is a very well known name down south and gives a very effective performance in the movie.
Ranbir, in the most challenging performance of his career leaves us, admiring the mans intelligence in planning his career so meticulously. And choosing once in a lifetime roles. His grandfather's genes shine through his performance throughout. His designing has been done with great thought, but what steals the show are his immaculate expressions. Done ever so easily.
For Priyanka, there's only one word - Perfect ! She plays an autistic girl, with a womans emotions trapped inside a girls body. In a role where she needs to under-emote, she does so brilliantly.Again, she lives the role to perfection and manages to grab your attention in every frame.
However, its an all out Ranbir Kapoor movie, for people who loved him in Rockstar, will respect him now. The speed by which he is polishing his credentials, the sky is the limit for him.
The music and background score of the film is composed by Pritam. The soundtrack album has 6 songs. All of them are worth mentioning, the background score is aptly done and picturisation exquisite.. Phir le aaya Dil and Main kya Karoon are memorable..
I am going to watch the movie again, just to smile, laugh and to feel happy...Go watch it and forget your worries, Barfi style..
I will give it 4 out of 5 stars...
