Anupama Chopra Film Companion Bareilly Ki Barfi has enough flavour to keep you going. Director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari keeps it frothy and light. I exited the theatre hoping that she'll give Pritam Vidrohi his own film. Rated: 3/5 Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Rao sweetens the pot, and makes up for the rest of it. Almost. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Namrata Joshi The Hindu It's the parents, along with a host of other characters around the lead protagnists, who inject life into BKB. Nov 14, 2017 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV A largely inoffensive, mildly diverting small-town romance that generally hits the right buttons thanks primarily to a crisp and lively screenplay, earthy dialogues and effortless acting by a fine cast. Rated: 3/5 Jul 24, 2020 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion BKB is a greedy, crowded drama that isn't impulsive enough to do justice to each of its littler films. I won't be dwelling on it too much, though. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Manjusha Radhakrishnan Gulf News (UAE) While it takes time for Bareilly Ki Barfi to warm up to you, the crackling second half and the arrival of Rao signals for good things to come. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Adarsh T I delayed this movie so many times. Finally, today I watched it. Very hilarious wry movie. I liked it very much. Rajkumar Rao nailed his character. All cast has given stellar performance. Pankaj tripathi is Masterclass of Acting specially comedy. Movie Name Bareilly Ki Barfi Budget: 20 Cr India (NETT cr.) 34.55 India (Gross cr.) 47.99 Overseas (Gross cr.) 10.56 Global Collections (INR cr.) 58.55 Verdict: Hit. Sweet Symphony of Love and Laughter. "Bareilly Ki Barfi" is a delightful rollercoaster of romance and comedy that captivates from start to finish. The film revolves around Bitti Mishra, brilliantly portrayed by Kriti Sanon, a tomboyish girl in Bareilly on a journey of self-discovery. The storyline is refreshingly unique, with Bitti stumbling upon a novel that changes her life. Ayushmann Khurrana, as Chirag Dubey, impresses with his nuanced portrayal of a sweet yet sometimes selfish writer. Rajkummar Rao steals the show as Pritam Vidrohi, displaying incredible versatility in his character's extreme transformations. The chemistry between the lead trio is palpable, making the narrative engaging and the humor consistently entertaining. The supporting cast, including Pankaj Tripathi and Seema Pahwa, adds depth to the story with their impeccable performances. The film's highlight is undeniably Rajkummar Rao, whose exceptional portrayal of Pritam Vidrohi elevates the movie to another level. His ability to seamlessly navigate the extreme changes in his character throughout the film is truly commendable. The superb climax ties up all loose ends, delivering a satisfying conclusion to the intricate plot. The director skillfully weaves comedy, romance, and drama into a seamless narrative, keeping the audience hooked from the beginning. The ensemble cast, especially Rajkummar Rao, makes "Bareilly Ki Barfi" a must-watch. It's a heartwarming tale of love, self-discovery, and the unexpected twists that life throws at us. Don't miss this charming Bollywood gem! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review Audience Member Kriti Sanon plays Bitti, a teenage girl who never listens to her parents or takes anyone's advice her parents call her too much of a tomboy and they only want her to find a reasonable suitor Bitti doesn't want this life so she decides to go her own path, she even picks up a book at a train station called ''Bareilly Ki Barfi'' but the actual author has someone else's picture printed for fear of humiliation, the author is Pritam Vidroh and his friend is Chirag Dubey Chirag tries to pass off his brother as the actual author but the truth is he's in love with Bitti which in turn makes things much harder, so now the question remains of whom Bitti chooses is being a girl a complete disaster?, would things be any different if parents had a boy instead of a girl?, sometimes the norms in a certain part of the world are just what people are used to, love can open our hearts even if we don't believe in it anymore, when it comes to marriage is your happiness more important or just our parents?, it's hard to love someone so much but it's even harder to not love at all this one actually took a few turns I wasn't expecting, some of the dramatic moments were pretty honest too about how messy a lie like this can turn into, the love triangle even caught me by surprise, too a pair of enjoyable leads make this Bollywood picture sweet even if it goes for the honest feelings it conveys more than the humor you'd be anticipating Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I love the movie and i love the stories and kriti sanon, the best.
