JHILMIL aur BURFI



Everyone is talking about Barfi… It was delicious, it was spectacular, mesmerizing and all synonymous adjectives would surely fit for this movie. Indeed, it was hilarious, especially some of the nicely executed Charlie Chaplin acts by Ranbir Kapoor. Needless to say, Ranbir Kapoor’s expressions and his acting prowess stole the whole show. Nonetheless, Priyanka Chopra at some places overpowered Ranbir Kapoor with her incredible acting of a mentally challenged girl. Certainly, she proved herself once again after ‘Fashion’ and ‘7 Khoon Maaf’. Her words, even not spoken were widely understood by everyone. Her presentation and acting skills of an autistic child would not have been done better than this.

It’s full on two and half hours of masti and a gripping yet exceptional love story. Throughout the movie, Ranbir’s pranks left the audience in laughing grip. A love story between deaf and mute guy & an autistic girl is surely unique in its own ways.  It has flaws too as I felt at some places story get entangled between present and past but in the end, the puzzle gets solved efficiently and beautifully.

Surely, it will not be wise to explain the whole plot here. However, I wish to mention that it’s an intriguing love story of deaf and mute guy- Murphy (read Barfi), who is crazy, fun loving and strongly believes in living in ‘present’. His masti has no extent and so does his liveliness. Hs talks never required words, which makes his conversation even more interesting. His eyes and hands do the all talking and most importantly, he is unaffected by everything except Love. He surely is not normal boy but certainly can give a tough competition to any normal intelligent person. He was an epitome of love, which weaves his most interesting love story with an autistic girl- Jhilmil Chatterjee, who is unaware of her super rich status and desperate need of love. She is simple, cute and lives in her own world.

It is only Barfi effect that I am only mentioning about Ranbeer and Priyanka. However, it will be unjustified to not to mention about Ilena D’cruz, who is the narrator and first love- interest of Ranbeer in this movie.

Kudos! to Anurag Basu for his marvelous direction and pritam’s music in the movie. Also, lyrics and script left me spell bound. First half is entertaining witty as Ranbeer Kapoor unveiled his amusing and mysterious acts. Nonetheless, second half becomes more captivating as it shows mature side of same mischievous Ranbeer Kapoor along with certainly, more of Priyanka Chopra.

In the end, It’s all and all, MUST watch movie. I personally enjoyed every bit of it. . Let alone be the controversy of stealing or taking inspiration regarding scenes or music of Barfi...

Moral of the story: Rehne do yaar!! Ab movies hi reh gayi hain.. MORALS aur ETHICS sikhne ke liye. J
