  • I have a lot to say against the film. Not besucae I have a personal vengeance but simply besucae I hate any kind of hypocrisy, especially when it comes to art/cinema besucae it is very personal to me. Big budget mindless crappy films never hide behind the veil of sensible cinema’ which I respect even if I don’t agree with its sensibilities but the cinema which projects itself to be sensible and artistic and then copies every good scene from everywhere possible. Not only this, here are few big flaws that film makers didn’t bother to pay attention to:1. Script. They got too excited with the germ of an idea and then forgot to actually work on a story. There is nothing I take back home. The story starts dragging from the start. Barring few scenes which were lifted from Charlie Chaplin’s brilliant work, there was nothing worthwhile. No story, nothing.2. Acting. When an actor is playing a character who is much older than the actor, he/she has to work on body language, voice, expressions which ofcourse is of no concern to Indian actors. Except Ranbir Kapoor no one has worked on their character.3. Direction was a big let down. But when almost all important scenes are inspired from multiple films director can only copy them well. The director failed to do even that.4. A central character should grow on other characters in the film along with the audiences. Instead the director solved the problem by saying it in a line. It is cinema, if you want me to fall in love with your character then make me do it don’t tell me to feel a certain way about him/her.5. Make-up- I couldn’t help but smile every time Ileana D’cruz appeared on screen in an old woman’s get up. No I didn’t find her cute, I was taken-a-back by the shoddy job of the make-up artist. Old people usually do not have such thick hair, they usually have wrinkles on their faces (unlike Priyanka Chopra’s face which was devoid of any sign of aging, maybe she used Pond’s Anti-Age Miracle).6. I like the music of the film. Though the background score is almost a complete lift from Amelie. But once again I would say that I like the songs.7. The end was crappy. The director could have redeemed himself by at least working on the end of the film. The end was so cliche that maybe it stopped being cliche for the film makers and audiences alike.I admire all efforts and I know it is easy to sit back and criticize but I would like to point out that if we don’t criticize ourselves for the right things we would never improve. I have liked almost all the films of Ranbir barring few and I hoped he had made the right decision with this film. I don’t want to compare but there has been some really good cinema from Indian Film Industry so don’t push it back to the talentless, big banner cinema which doesn’t do anything for individuals or society at large. Cinema is for entertainment and social relevance, all at the same time. It is not either, or. It is both.This is my personal opinion and if people like the film and they chose to overlook certain things then that is the kind of society we would build. There is no good or bad but the choices we make, the decisions we take have an impact on our lives.Congratulations to the team behind Barfi for the commercial success of the film. Cheers!
