How well it is said that true love is blind to all the prejudices set down
by the materialistic society. It can nourish itself deeply even in the midst
of penury and follow a completely no-holds-barred course. Anurag Basu’s
‘Barfi’ is just about that. ‘Barfi!’ narrates the story of the namesake
character Barfi (originally named as Murphy by his parents) who has a speech
and hearing impairment and lives every single day of his life to the hilt
and how!
South Indian actress Illeana D’Cruz gets into the skin of her character named
Shruti to tell the magical tale of Barfi (played by Ranbir Kapoor) who happens
to be a happy-go-lucky character that lives with his ageing father in Darjeeling
of 1970s. Barfi is endearing for his cute Chaplin-meets-Mr. Bean acts but more
than that for his innocent and simple heart. In a typical rich girl meets a poor
guy story, Barfi chances upon Shruti on her visit to Darjeeling and she finds
herself losing her heart to him despite the fact that she is engaged to a
wealthy man back in Kolkata. After a brief romance, Shruti chooses material
comforts over true love and leaves Barfi heartbroken to marry the moneyed man.
Enter an autistic Jhilmil Chatterjee (played by Priyanka Chopra), who belongs to
an affluent family in Darjeeling but her family barely cares for her sensitive
needs. Even as Barfi tries to pick up the pieces of his broken heart, he finds
his father battling kidney failure. Penniless Barfi looks for all ways to get
the money for his treatment but in vain. When left with no other way, quite
unwillingly, Barfi plans with his best friend to kidnap Jhilmil and blackmail
her parents for the money. And then, as the story unfolds, Barfi and Jhilmil
realise that they are perfect to share their life with each other, keeping their
physical imperfections aside. On the other hand, even after 6 years of marriage,
Shruti comes to know that she still has strong feelings for Barfi.
