Barfi !

We’ve reached a place in time, when innocence is questioned for it does not appear to be genuine. This notion is even reflected in the movies that are made. The innocence that was prevalent in the Black & White era had completely drained off by the time we were out of the 90s. Barfi brings back that long lost innocence.

It is like watching a black & white movie in full color, experiencing beauty that’s so pristine that it’s beyond words. Beauty in every respect, cinematography wise, screen play wise, music wise or even in the way such a touching tale has been told in a strictly simplistic manner. Priyanka Chopra has made me proud as a fan for you cannot help falling in love with her; I can already picture her receiving the best actress award. Ranbir Kapoor has talent running in his veins, which he proves yet again. Both actors create an impact, that too with roles that are dialogue-less.

Barfi is like a hand-picked dream, that’s so beautiful, so believable that when the end credits roll, you don’t want to go home. You want “reality” to wait outside the cinema hall so that you can dive into this dream once again.

My Rating- 4/5


PS- If at all I marry, my wife should look like this : 

Fire

There are some movies that talk about certain subjects that are frowned upon by the society, but still manage to stand out when they do so. Fire could've been very bad movie considering the obvious nature of the subject but the sensibility and the critical manner in which the story is depicted makes Fire a movie to be remembered.

Characters, so simply sketched yet complimenting the story so perfectly. A story so simple but yet resonating a depth through the depiction. I would like to state this again, Fire is a movie to be remembered.

Simple. Impactful. Beautiful.

My Rating- 3.75/5

PS- It's sad the controversy that this movie created. India hadn't learnt to do one of the important things that makes us human, and that's to think. To a certain extent it still hasn't.
