4/5
There is much to admire in this attempt to push the Bollywood envelope. It's rare for mainstream Hindi cinema to feature such sensitively drawn characters. Go to Full Review

3/5
This is a film made with love, bolstered by wonderfully etched vignettes, Ranbir Kapoor's stupendous performance and a gorgeous soundtrack by Pritam. And yet, for me, Barfi was a singularly frustrating experience. Go to Full Review

Harry R Apr 16, 2019 Barfi , well its a movie which I had been waiting for long. I perceive Barfi as an academy award winner as it brings out the cinematic excellence and emanates the highest attributes of human creativity. See more
Han M Dec 3, 2018 You should know this is going to be a sad yet beautiful film before you watch this or you will left frustrated at the end of this masterpiece. See more
George R Oct 31, 2013 "Barfi!" is an irresistibly sweet movie that will warm your heart. I thought the way the story was presented was surprisingly complex and the performances were truly top notch. While I felt the movie slows down in some of the middle parts, as a whole the experience was worthwhile. It is an upbeat movie that blends comedic and dramatic elements well. The movie also has something to say about normality and true love and it leaves an impact. See more
