Barfi1 is a kind of romantic film .i love this film alot .
Anurag Basu had done a great job by directing this movie.
the roles played by ranbir kapoor and priyanka chopra are awsome..
this scene from this movie is my best scene when barfi gave jhilmil a surperise during their wedding.Anurag basu really deserve an oscar for this film .i would rate this film 10 out of 10 .this film has awsom actors with great acting skills ,great stor,great direction,great scenes of darjelling,great comedy..

I am very much impressed by this movie.this movie won an oscar this year.Basu deserves some praise though for capturing the beautiful Darjeeling on Screen.
the story begins with ranbir kapoor (barfi) on bicycle going along a train and Shruti Ghosh looking at him..slowly slowly they start meeting each other and they love each other company.

she was already engaged but then after she fell in love with barfi..she is really a beautifull girl.

she wanted to marry barfi and told her mother but her mother dont want that her daughter should marry a financially week person so she tried to influence her by telling her own love story.Shruti Ghosh decided that she will leave barfi and say yes to her mother..barfi was not aware of this fact and came to her house for proposing her but her mother make fun of him .
she married with a rich person..afyer 6 years shw came to know that barfi is in poluce station and she has mudered and kidnapped a girl named jhilmil..jhilmil is a mentally week person.

in reallity barfi kidnapped jhilmil but at that point of time she is not with him..he raelly tried hard to find her because he love jhilmil very very much and at last they marry.jhilmil choose barfi without any condition and without any financial desires because she love oly barfi and not his money..

this is love without any condition and without any desire..

Refreshing But Flawed...

Barfi, the latest endeavour of the talented Anurag Basu is both impressive and disappointing at the same time. I did go in with some high expectations given the reputation of the director and the hype surrounding the film and honestly I am not too amazed with this happy go lucky story of a deaf & mute Darjeeling boy. The story however adopts an unfamiliar path for a Bollywood film al right but in the end suffers for taking itself too seriously. Basu tries to tell a simple story of some simple people but unnecessarily complicates things by incorporating unrelated sub-plots.

Now Basu deserves some praise though for capturing the beautiful Darjeeling on Screen. The film is exclusively shot in Calcutta and Darjeeling and truly it is a visual treat. It is able to tag the nostalgic feeling with the story but unfortunately that is not the only cognitive feeling we are exposed to. The story also exerts a feeling of deja-vu and that is purely because the director has copied too many Hollywood stuff. I mean the comic portions are direct rip off from numerous Charlie Chaplin films, the two love stories in each half are heavily influenced from The NoteBook and our very own Koshish. Whereas the kidnap plot has an uncanny similarity with Gone Baby Gone and so on. But what really disappointed me is the background score. They just lifted it from Amelie.

Despite all these copy paste act by the director, the film works only because of some great performances from the lead. Priyanka Chopra is superb and Ranbir gives a mature performance as Barfi. Now I admit Barfi is not the most honest work by the director but none the less it is a decently good film to watch.
I am going with 6 out of 10 for Barfi, but given the fact that this is our official entry to Oscars I really think the Juries desperately need an IQ check.
