Barfi proves that Ranbir's climb to B-towns A list actors is just a matter of time. This Anurag Basu film is a perfect treat for audience. The story of Barfi moves back and forth from 1978, 1972 and 2012 in an easy to follow fashion. Every frame in this movie is just like a Ravivarma painting. Cinemetographer Ravi Varman ( just coincidence ), captures the beauty of North Bengal in a splendidly beautiful way.
Ranbir's Barfi is an amalgamation of Charlie Chaplin, Raj Kapoor and Mr.Bean, with a pinch of his coolness. Barfi is a cool person, with speech and hearing impairment. He lives with his patient father in Darjelling of 1970's.
Southern hottie, Illeana D'Cruz, got the best character of her career, so far. She plays a young bengali women battling the societal norms. Her portrayal of Sruthi so believable. Priyanka plays Jhilmil Chatterjee, an autistic person. She tried too hard for this character and it can be seen in this film. But there are some moments in which she is very convincing. Of the two actresses, Illeana get more applause than Priyanka.
Barfi is a simple and beautiful film, but it is not a great film. It lacks a good story. This film heavily depends on the acting powers of it's lead roles.
My verdict is to watch it for Ranbir and his kissing scene with Illeana :)
