‘Barfi’ is
just about that. ‘Barfi!’ narrates the story of the namesake character Barfi
(originally named as Murphy by his parents) played by Ranbir Kapoor who has a
speech and hearing impairment and lives every single day of his life to the
hilt and how! Shruti played by Illeana
D’Cruz narrates the magical tale of Barfi. Murphy (Barfi) who happens to be a
happy-go-lucky character that lives with his ageing father in Darjeeling of
1970s. Barfi chances upon Shruti on her visit to Darjeeling and she finds
herself losing her heart to him despite the fact that she is engaged to a
wealthy man back in Kolkata. After a brief romance, Shruti chooses material
comforts over true love and leaves Barfi heartbroken to marry the moneyed man.

And here
unfolds a mysterious character, autistic Jhilmil Chatterjee played by Priyanka
Chopra, who belongs to an affluent family in Darjeeling but her family barely
cares for her sensitive needs. Barfi finds his father battling kidney failure
and penniless Barfi looks for all ways to get the money for his treatment but
in vain. When left with no other way, Barfi plans with his best friend to
kidnap Jhilmil and blackmail her parents for the money.
And then, the
story unfolds, Barfi and Jhilmil realise that they are perfect couple and they
can share their life with each other, keeping their physical imperfections
aside. On the other hand, even after 6 years of marriage, Shruti comes to know
that she still has strong feelings for Barfi.
The story
moves back and forth from 1978, 1972 and 2012 in an easy-to-follow fashion and
the film’s songs are simply soulful.
While Ranbir
and Priyanka effortlessly prove themselves the best actors of their generation,
Ileana D'Crus makes a confident engaging debut into Hindi Cinema. A must
watch....
Overall I
would rate the movie as 4 out of 5.
