This is not a commercial movie which has been made keeping box office profits in mind but has been made especially for a niche set of audience who appreciates such kind of efforts. Many movies which are made seem interesting, some seem enjoyable but there are few which seem to leave you speechless, striking a chord and movies like ‘Barfi’ are some of them. The reality and the bare truths of life which is projected in the movie makes us, the audience aware of where we stand in our lives today and the degree of humanity which is seen in humans nowadays.
With a deaf and mute hero playing the lead role of male and an autistic lady to play the character of lead female makes the task of direction all the more tough as conveying message to the audience becomes difficult, but Anurag Basu has come out super- successfully in this task by his incredible intelligible efforts which is really commendable. As the plot gradually unfolds, once gets to a charming love story bringing together love, yearning, togetherness, and anticipation. The movie portrays beautifully the fantasies of first love and the emotions associated with the same. The plot also successfully brings forth the impossible tasks and endeavour’s ones goes through while one experiences the ecstasies of first love. One gets to see how an individual is forced emotionally to accept irrational as well as illogical emotions when one is in love.
The characters have been aptly chosen by Anurag giving more life to this awesome movie. The performance of Ranbir is well tinged with awesome and priceless expressions which probably we have not seen much from this actor off late. It seems he is getting better and better with every movie!
The movie has been inspired by various scenes from Mr. Bean and from the Chaplinesque comedies. Ranbir has portrayed the scenes well make the movie all the more appealing and endearing to watch. The movie apart from mischief and comedy also portrays the raw reality of life and the various hassles which are associated therein. The message conveyed by the movie is varied and hence the efforts taken by the direction and its actors is really praise worthy.
Ranbir has been seen to depict a wide array of characters wherein he portrays comedy, his unsuccessful love story with Ileana, the moments of dejections, solitude and most importantly the charm with which eh plays the role is simply mind-blowing. His performance in this movie can be quotes as one of his best performances till date. The other actors have also played their parts brilliantly and have done justice to their roles quite well. Though every actor especially the female leads have played their roles quite well, the awesome character depiction by Ranbir seems somehow to overshadow the others. Priyanka is known for treading along un-trudged paths and Ileana, the new comer has also portrayed few excellent acts making us feel that this new comer has skills in her.
Apart from these three roles, there is only Saurabh Shukla who is able to create an impact in the movie by his awesome acting skills. The songs of the movie are aptly placed with good blend of music and lyrics. The plot isn’t that enthralling or fascinating as such plots have been handled in various movies in yesteryears. It’s only in the place where the adaption is being placed in the Bollywood seems where the director seems to have slipped on few instances, but otherwise the movie is simply awesome and can be defined as a true – gem.
The movie has been casted in three stages which constitutes the year’s 1972, 1978 and the present age. Ranbir first falls in love with Ileana, but for some reasons their love story never works outs and in the due course of time he meets Jhillmill ( Priyanka Chopra) and he realizes that he actually loves her. As the plot shifts to the present age, the movie portrays the understanding which Shruti (Ileana) gains about he bonding which develops between tow individuals who are physically challenged in their own ways. How successfully one can handle life with ease even if one is physically challenged gives a clear message to all of us. Hence the social impact of this movie on the society as a whole is quite large and the same had been seen when the movie ‘Black’ had been released.
The movie has been casted with such finesse that the scenes pass by as if a gentle breeze is blowing across. To conclude if one had to rate a movie on not just the entertaining levels but also on the awesome precious moments which its gives, then Barfi is surely a super duper hit.
