Well,almost
all of you know me, but I bet very few of you know my true identity. Now I may
sound irrational but the truth about me is that I am crazy(And the good thing
is I know that :p).Right now some of you must be thinking that "Abhinav
jain" has gone beyond the levels of ordinary madness, but I know some of
you are kind enough to wonder 'why'.And this blog post is only for those kind
ones who are willing enough to read and give it a thought.
I was
supposed to write a movie review, you know, but I thought, then,I am not
matured enough to behave like a strict movie critic.So,what to write and
what not to, that is the question. Let’s just start from the beginning and
write what seems worth writing, isn’t it?But yes,it is definitely not a movie
review.
And finally
we ran away from college to watch the most awaited movie of this season
i.e."Barfi".Yes,it was my suggestion and I was already being punished
for giving this suggestion.Ass is still in pain(i mean literally :D).When I
asked this question to my friends:”Haan toh ab batao kaise thi movie?(How was
the movie?)
The monkey like grin on
their faces say it all.Not a single person in my group liked it,except me.I am
always the exception.And this becomes the reason for this blog post.Alright,I
like the movie(i guess you already got the hint).The question arises why?? And
there are many factors.
Firstly,I like the
concept,the whole theme of the movie.Many people had a problem with the length
of the movie but honestly,I could have stayed in Barfi’s world even longer,its so much fun.Yes,obviously
it is a slow paced movie but it is definitely not boring.Cinematography,picturisation and
awesome direction by Anurag Basu will surely gonna make it a huge success.
Secondly,the simplicity of
the characters,the emotions expressed via different scenes in the movie,concept
of trust,concept of friendship and its loyalty test,concept of love(Yes,the unconditional and selfless love),everything is illustrated so nicely and
beautifully.And of course,awesome performances by Ranbir,Priyanka and
Ileana D'cruz.Kudos to all of them.
This character of
"Barfi" played by Ranbir is the eye candy of the movie.Though he is dumb
and deaf but how he manages to make everyone smile and laugh even without
uttering a single word is the most noticeable point.So caring.So gentle.So
adorable.So sensitive.So unique.So much heart .It is not at all superficial or
over expressed.Perhaps,the look of Charlin Chaplin,the feel of jestler's life and the simplicity shown by ranbir throughout the movie added more feathers to the cap of his character in the movie.He has the stupid criteria of testing the loyalty of his friends by lamppost
test,the lamppost is made to crash into a bottle on the ground and his loyal
friends have to stay holding his hand following his words that the post won’t
crush them to death,this way his stupidity and stubborn nature also look cute.His
generous and caring nature,his desperation when even he tries to rob a bank,
and kidnap his friend is beautifully expressed.The craziness and silliness in
the character is not forcefully taken out,rather it comes out naturally.
Then of course the character
of an austistic girl played by Priyanka is yet another attention seeker.Her
innocence and shyness is beautifully expressed.The way she never allow the
strangers to touch her,her grabbing of her dress as protection, her averting of
eye contact,her whining and screaming loudly and almost everything about the
character is so truly illustrated.
Ileana's beautiful eyes and
her smile will compel people to update their crush list,no doubt. Her
simplicity,her innocence,jealousy,her internal conflicts,her obligation to respect her parents and beautiful songs shooted in the garden of Darjeeling conveyed
every emotion that needs to be conveyed.
Overall,the most complex
message came out so simply,truly and beautifully without any kind of
exaggeration.Some people live for their personal pleasure.These are the people who do what fun is,what is enjoyable and not what society might wish them to.Not everyone is gifted,not everyone is
talented,not everyone is born legend.No one is perfect.We all are imperfect in some way or another.We
have our drawbacks and negative aspects but it does not count.It does not
stop us from loving each other. Imperfection is not the obstacle,our mentality
is.We need to broaden our vision.It's all about how you take life,it's about
how you live,how you learn,how you perceive,how you deal with the odd situations. The dumb and deaf character
in the movie named "Barfi" truly inspires.
The unconditional and
selfless love depicted by the duo in the movie will definitely compel viewers
and spectators to burn their brain cells.It depicts the true value of generosity
and emotions, specially the nose-kiss scene is so adorable which is indeed a
unique element,at least for me as I've not seen it before anywhere, and the
best thing about the movie is that it has a "Happy Ending" which you rarely
find in romantic love stories. It simply says count on to the lives in one moment, not the moments in
one Life.
Live a big life, live life King size,and not a Long and
Small one.Don’t worry.Be crazy.Be passionate.Love others and let yourself be loved.Be
Barfi!! :)))
P.S. Did I mention that it
has the most soulful,melodious and beautifully composed music along with great
and inspiring lyrics.Here is a glimpse of it !
"..Itthi si hansi
Itthi si khushi
Ittha sa tukda
Chand ka
Khwabon ke
Tinkon se
Chal banayein
Aashiyaan..... (Repeat once)
Dabe dabe paaon se
Aaye haule haule zindagi
Hothon pe koonti chadake
Hum taale laga ke chal
Gumsum tarane
Chupke chupke gaayein
Aadhi aadhi baatein yeh
Aaja dil ki ye zameen
Thoda sa tera sa hoga
Thoda mera bhi hoga
Apna ye aashiyan...."
~Sayonara!
