This is a good movie for movie-buffs like me. But if you watch movies only once in a while, you are bound to be so very bored that you might just sleep through the movie, like my dad did. What's so boring? The intermingled timelines will totally confuse you if you don't watch very very keenly. That is the main drawback. So if you are just wanting to relax watching a movie, trust me, this is not a good pick..

When I first watched Barfi! I fell asleep. I felt guilty because the movie looked like an work of art. Then all the plagiarism accusations started flooding in and I realized my instinct was correct. The movie is a collage. Borrowing from others is not bad, provided you can carry it. Wear jewels to decorate yourself, don't be a manikin. Excellent music and acting, awesome execution, but has no life.

I am surprised I have actually not liked it. the main reason is there is no story at all. All this movie depends is on the threatics by barfi, good music and nice locations. priyanka chopra is in her worst performance. one has to be very alert also becoz it's all visuals and if you miss something,you won't understand next scene because they don't speak, only act like in a silent movie. can induce sleep and boredom. but it is still something very different from regular bollywood movies. hence 3***
