Time Out

There is much to admire in this attempt to push the Bollywood envelope. It's rare for mainstream Hindi cinema to feature such sensitively drawn characters.

Rated: 4/5

This is a film made with love, bolstered by wonderfully etched vignettes, Ranbir Kapoor's stupendous performance and a gorgeous soundtrack by Pritam. And yet, for me, Barfi was a singularly frustrating experience.

Rated: 3/5

Perhaps, one day we will see the disabled in all their hues, in stories that truly are theirs, not churned out for our easy digestion.

Barfi! is that rare film that can make you smile and make you cry in the same scene. Its technical brilliance is only outdone by its emotional complexity and depth.

The Times of India

Barfi is more than ably handled by Anurag Basu. He remarkably immerses you in his world of sounds and verbose silences, recreating Chaplin's antics, stripping two superstars down to basics and sensitively spinning a magical world of unconditional love.

Rated: 4/5

Ranbir Kapoor's acting will win your heart. Hes amazing here, somewhat of a Charlie Chaplin meets Mr Bean.Watch it for emotion and acting.Priyanka is admirable in her role too. For a story riddled with disabilities, it is quite a charming film. Worth a watch!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Atando-me de amor por Ranbir Kapoor (por Raajneeti e Jagga), adoráveis atuações em filmes igualmente fofos, um filme encantador, delicado, singelo, e com humor leve e sincero… Com grande atuação, o destaque ficou mesmo por conta de Priyanka Chopra, maravilhosa como a doce autista… Bollywood só não são muito bons nos efeitos especiais no que tange ao envelhecimento, muito fake e mal caracterizado as peles do rosto e as mãos de adolescentes, totalmente relevante diante de tamanha poesia e encanto.

Barfi! is a film that has worth-watching parts in places. As always Ranbir Kapoor's acting will win your heart and every single character has done a fabulous job. Watch it for emotion and acting.

Es una buena película india que se puede disfrutar en Netflix; la trama es buena y la actuación de Ranbir Kapoor es excelente.

The screenplay is more meandering that it needs to be, and a lot of the gags cross the line between homage and plagiarism - but you'd forgive these trespasses for a film that so obviously has its heart in the right place.

A movie that touched upon the true emotions that everyone can connect with so well that it becomes a teary ride.
