Bareilly Ki Barfi

Rajkumar Rao's level of acting skills shown in this movie is rarely seen in any film. Whether it is Seema Pahwa Ji or Pankaj Tripathi, or Ayushmann's Friend Munna, if you get to see the performance of the amazing acting skills. Javed Saheb's rhyme narration is also amazing in the middle of this film.first 20-30 minutes that slow Pace covered by Rajkumar Rao. A compliment to play a double role done by RR. Bareilly's Barfi, Bitti also acted well. There are many small comical scenes in this movie which will keep your paddle until the end. Prior to Interval, the punk/gullible scene of Rajkumar will make you jump from the seat and clap your hands. Overall, RR has given life to this good script. Filled with small artists and artists of the stage, this film is full of entertainment and full of good acting.

It is the best Bollywood film of this year till date. It has everything which a film should have with it! Ayushman Khurrana and Rajkumar Rao's chemistry is the highest plus point of this beautifully made sweet and logical rom-com. Kriti is doing good here. The voice over by Javed Akhtar gives the film uniqueness. The dialogues are very subtle. And which makes this film re-watchable for many times. It is already going good at the box office, but whenever it will come to TV, the TRPs will going to be high always. Ashwini had made 2 fantastic films- Nil Battey Sannata and this one. So, she is entering in my favorite director's list. Kudos to the makers for the sweetest film.

One time definite watch... rajkumar rao nailed his character... overshadow everyone in this...

There was an age in Hindi Cinema where doyens like Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterji made some of Hindi cinemas finest comedies featuring the middle class man. The story revolved around the man's life and the movies were clean and simple. Golmaal, Itni Si baat, Chupke Chupke were some of the finest movies that came out from this duo.

Bareilly Ki Barfi (BKB) belongs to that forgotten era and I thank Ashwiny Iyer and Nitesh Tiwari to take us back to that era and make a film that connects with today's audience.

Set in Bareilly in UP and inspired from Sajan, the movie is one hell of a romantic comedy from start to finish. The story of 20 something yr old Bitti who works for the Electricity Board who smokes, drinks, eats non veg, watches English movies and does break dance on her terrance and falls for a writer of flop book is an interesting premise. Her Dad is loving caring and supportive but her mom thinks her as a pain.

The 1st half is hilarious with some great one liners and well written scenes. Everything shown on screen is so authentic that I felt I was transported to Bareilly and I could connect with Bitti, her parents and Chirag the man loves Bitti and who also has secretly written the book Bitti loves. There are no heavy scenes and the humour never goes over the top.

The 2nd half is taken to another level thanks to the entry of Rajkummar Rao at the end of 1st half. And here I thank the writers who ensure not to stretch the story to long and wrap the movie with a predictable sweet ending. Believe me this movie is just 2 hours long which is awesome as per Hindi movie standards.

Coming to performances, Kriti Sanon as Bitti finally gets an author backed role and shines but still needs a few movies like these to showcase her acting chops. Khurana is turning out to be the Amol Palekar of our times and does is part well and with ease. Pankaj Tripathy and Seema Pahwa as Bitti's parents are hilarious as the bickering couple and have some of the best one liners in the movie. And Rohit Chaudhary as Khurana's friend is very good.

However, the star of this film is Rao. And he deserves an award of this film and if not an award, at least a nomination. The actor is brilliant from the word go. He brilliantly plays the meek and timid Vidrohi and switches to the rash hooligan Vidrohi which such ease that I was spell bound. He is a great actor and I hope he gets more films to show that he is in a league of his own. Watch out for the bike and pan scene.

The music is simple and not too many songs and I loved the way Bareilly has been captured.

This is a movie that you can watch with your family irrespective of the age groups and its great to see a clean rom com after a long time.

Bareilly ki Barfi is a quintessential Bollywood RomCom. Though the screenplay is not something new but has been crafted very well via some exceptional dialogues. Though it doesn't work perfectly all the time. When the film primarily focused on Sanon's part early in the film, the film did look a bit quirky. And to some extent even Khurrana couldn't change this much, with his presence. It is finally when Rajkumar Rao enters, the film starts shedding away some of its artifice which it was carrying. And here is the difference between a good actor and an excellent actor. While others made it look so hard to be believable playing small town people, Rao did it with an strange and satisfying ease. Though I wish Pankaj Tripathi had more to do in this film, but he shines no matter what. Though the film packs up endless flaws and sometimes it even tries to be pretentious, still it is a pretty good watch.
