Fresh: Against your will, you may even shed a tear.
Fresh: Hopping nimbly among three distinct timeframes, helmer Basu deconstructs the film's sentimental thrust to stress his hero's in-the-moment ingenuity.
Rotten: Despite a hard-working cast, a lush score, exotic location shooting and scattered warmth, "Barfi!" is ultimately more endurance test than entertainment.
Fresh: Quirky deaf man gets entangled in love triangle in poignant Bollywood romantic comedy.
Customer Reviews
Now one of my lifetime favorites!
Mind-blowing performances by Chopra, Kapoor, and D'Cruz. Solid and occasionally brilliant work by supporting cast. Beautiful cinematography supports multiple mesmerizing, magical scenes. I was completely transported by this film.
Not every moment is perfect, but as a whole, "Barfi!" is quite extraordinary. Uplifting and inspirational, despite a thread of pathos. So layered that every time I watch it, I discover something missed previously. Oh, and it is accompanied by a great musical score.
Don't miss this one!
