So here's Barfi for you all. Subtle and Sweet.........sweet enough. Bengali director Anurag Basu has captured 'Bengal' beautifully. Film is set in picturesque Darjeeling and chaotic Calcutta. The most beautiful are those small bits of childhood moments in the 70s and every little detail is captivating. Every frame engages you to smile or to empathize or shed a tear...again a USP of Bengali directors.
Initially the pace seems a bit slow but then it picks up just as the Darjeeling toy train chugging down those romantic winding tracks. But unlike the toy train you can't get in just about anywhere...you have to stay with every frame to understand the narrative because there are lots of flashbacks. A wonderful script and good performances. Ranbir Kapoor will live up to the RK legacy just like his name. Debutant Ileana is terrific. There is plenty of fun in the second half. Just watch the film..... I am just happy for Barfi is my favorite sweet too.

PS: Could have been edited in the first half to shorten the length a little bit.
