Barfiii....Delicious Indeed!!!

If you've not tasted Anurag Basu's Barfii,
then, go taste it quickly,
Cause' it's one of a kind, made delectably.
It's made with ingredients, in proportionate measure,
Not too sugary sweet,but a small bite of Barfi will indeed give you immense pleasure.

So just like the mithai, the movie is palatable,
not too heart wrenching, but optimistically enjoyable.
Set against the beautiful misty Darjeeling with its lush greenery,
the charm of the old steam engines chugging noisily,
with the fairy tale love between Barfi and Shruti on a bicycle made for two,
followed by heart break, which doesn't make the effervescent deaf-mute Barfi,
cry uncontrallably in mute "boo hoo".

Because if you're not lucky in love the first time,
lady luck will surely shine on you again with her signature Colgate "Barfi"smile
And that's what is shown when Barfi and Jhilmil meet,
that love is unconditional and no autism or any disability,
such pure love can defeat.

The innocent love is portrayed beautifully by Ranbir and Priyanka,
especially the parts shot in the cramped up apartment overlooking the Hooghly in Kolkata.
Ranbir Kapoor with time, I've realised is one of India's most talented actor,
leaving us speechless literally with the most challenging role of his career.
His acting cannot be compared to Charlie Chaplin, who I always found slap stick
he is far superior in his new avatar, which personally I find stylishly slick.
For Priyanka Chopra, there's only one word for her performance and that's Bravo,
with her buck teeth, awkwardness, frocks, socks, buckled shoes, need I say more.
Ileana does justice to her role as the beautiful but sad Bong Bahu,
playing her role with conviction and making a commendable Bollywood debut.

For me Barfi is a simplistic, compassionate love story,
encompassed in 2 hours 40 minutes by Anurag Basu beautifully.
The cinematography, the music are both tres magnifique,
it is a movie which indeed captures your heart and creates a quirky sort of magic.

So go indulge in this Barfi, forget about your diet,
this movie will leave you with a taste of happiness,
enjoy it to your hearts content
and I am sure for long you'll savour it.
