Delicious Barfi =)

Words fall short to describe what this film expresses. Words carry no value when the heart is empty. If your mind is full, your eyes say it all… When you fall in love you just fall in love. You don’t measure variants. The movie has certain beautiful dialogues which I feel compelled to share. If the love you share and receive is honest, you feel complete inside, even if you are considered a socially incomplete person. And the love that remains is the one that happens, not the one planned after quantifying and calculating it. You fall in love not to lead a comfortable luxurious life, but to be in love.

The simplicity in the characters send shivers to your heart, how will they survive in this world? They are too delicate and people don’t have the heart and patience to understand their mute words. Murphy or more commonly Barfi is a light hearted fellow who falls in love but reality hits him hard that the world has its own set standards of who can fall in love with whom. The real world constantly makes him feel small, always running around to make ends meet despite of his little ‘Robin Hood’ generous acts. Then enters a pretty fragile girl called Jhilmil, who is trapped in her own beautiful world, the world where she enjoys the miracles of nature, magic and music. Hers is a tragic story, on the outside. Inside she has a beautiful world and a family she chose herself by hand picking people around her. Destiny makes the two meet again and again and the time bonds them together. A very unusual couple, incomplete separately but complete together. The story revolves around the quest of their love, one girl who wants to give up everything to lead an incomplete yet beautiful life and the greedy people who have everything yet it never suffices.

I shouldn’t write a lot since I am sure there is still a lot left for me to understand. But yes, Barfi was sweet in just the right amount!
