- Imperfection is all around us. How we handle our flaw
determines our life’s happiness. Burfi’s (Ranbir Kapoor) happy-go-lucky attitude
never lets us feel he was deaf and dumb. We saw him as a normal human being who
went through a crisis in life.
- Handicap is not a disease. It’s a way of life. You may be
perfect from outside, but crippled at heart. Your mind might be at one place,
your heart - at another. Shruti (Ileana D’cruz) suffered from the worst disease
– a wandering heart.
- Every heart can feel love, happiness, anger, jealousy,
hatred and sadness. A mind can be under-developed, but a heart is always at the
right place. Be wary when you play with feelings – you never know when someone
gets hurt. Jhilmil (Priyanka Chopra) possessed an IQ of a child but had
feelings of a woman. Her heart felt hatred and love with equal passion.
- It’s not your lines, it’s not your stars, and it’s not your
Karma from previous birth. We are the makers of our own destiny. If God gives
you a problem, he gives you ample of chances to rectify that problem. He gives
you strength, determination, and good luck. It’s your attitude that determines
if you’ll win or blame your destiny for the rest of your life. The story of
Barfi does exactly that. He falls in love, she breaks his heart, and he deals
with it, and moves on. He helps a friend in need, falls in love again, destiny
breaks his heart but he doesn’t give up. He makes sure he wins the battle with 'destiny'.
- Actions speak louder than words. And that’s why this film is
so special. The direction is flawless, the characters play their part to the T
and the story is heart warming. When you will come home after watching the
movie and reflect over it, you will find your life much happier than you ever
thought it was. And if not, you will strive hard to achieve that happiness.
Barfi doesn’t make you go Wow. It touches your heart and
stays with you for a long time.
Makes me want to watch this movie more !
ReplyDeleteYou must. It's one of the more refined ones from Bollywood.
DeleteThis movie is getting amazing reviews - I plan to watch it. I am glad Indian directors have started making such movies, and that they are doing well.
ReplyDeleteFrom awful Cocktail and Joker, to a mixed bag Ek tha Tiger, to a well-made Barfi!, we have a huge variety of directors in India. Lets hope there are more films like the latter ones.
DeleteThis is one of the best movie I have seen this year and yes, it is hard to put in words but I really like your review. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I have to see it a second time.
The movie was good but I still won't give it a 5/5. It's the kind of stuff that would go down the ages, like Black. But I'm not sure if people will watch it multiple times. Let us know how it goes when you see it the second time!
DeleteI loved your review. You have touched on so many things :)
