Thodi 'Barfi' ho jaaye?



Barfi is an Indian sweet which has just about the right sweetness; it satisfies your craving for a sweet without nauseating you with its sweetness. That’s exactly what I loved about the movie, Barfi, too! I had a lot of apprehension about how Ranbir Kapoor will play out a Charlie Chaplin and Priyanka Chopra, an autistic character but when you have friends who drag you to the movie hall since they have rave reviews and know that it is a fab movie; it’s only little you can do. J
And how did I find it- Beautiful and refreshing!! It’s the cutest movie I have seen after a long time with just the right amount of ingredients to leave the viewer with a warm, fuzzy feeling. Now I can say; only RK could have pulled off this act. Barfi is intelligent, smart and SO adorable! PC is great too; infact just as I only saw Auro in Paa and not Sr.AB; I only saw her character Jhilmil and not PC! That’s saying something about her acting abilities in this one!

Love has no barriers and even if it has, it transcends it all provided your love is unconditional and pure. That’s one of my takeaways from the movie. A mute and deaf guy ends up loving an autistic girl because they connect through their attitude towards life- to view it as something alive, new, beautiful, each moment! The world may never appreciate their outlook; may call them careless or difficult but if they find just one person loving them for the way they are and share their outlook of life and beauty; life would be as sweet as Barfi. We ‘normal’ people want to define terms and conditions in our love for the other; we want a name to that relationship never attempting to let love be. Not all love like that but surely an attempt can be made right now because we all can.

Watch it for the freshness in bonds, for living a carefree life through Barfi (RK), for seeing the world as Jhilmil sees it; upside down. J Beautifully subtle treatment of a beautiful, tender emotion- Love.
Don’t miss the start; the sweetness begins right there! 

Love Always!
