Hopping nimbly among three distinct timeframes, helmer Basu deconstructs the film's sentimental thrust to stress his hero's in-the-moment ingenuity.

Despite a hard-working cast, a lush score, exotic location shooting and scattered warmth, "Barfi!" is ultimately more endurance test than entertainment.

A moving work that is at once bittersweet and uplifting, and altogether charming.

The convoluted final act may test the patience of the uninitiated, but in every other respect this atypical Hindi heartwarmer deserves international breakout success.

Audience Reviews for Barfi!

Impressive visual story-telling, something that is very rare in Bollywood. Great cinematography, editing and art direction. Neat performances, some credit of which goes to the director as well. A good watch.

A thoroughly entertaining film with a spectacular first act that unfortunately surrenders to genre conventions and unnecessary story arcs. Despite its faults, Barfi! tackles a bold subject with style and a smart performance at its center. This is the best Indian film I have seen in years.
