Another W*F point - " Since the director couldn't make a silent film in today's time"

Um, why couldn't he make a silent film in today's time? If he can make a semi-silent film, then he can make a silent one too. Whether it would work or not is something that can only be determined after the film's release, but there is no reason he couldn't have taken out the handful of dialogues that were in the film.

Also, has this person not heard of The Artist? Silence is in! 😆

W*F is the writer going on about how Jhilmil should be incapable of feeling any complex emotion. She is autistic, not a sociapath.

[QUOTE=]the film has been hastily declared as India's entry for Oscars. Now, India's entry for Oscars doesn't mean much but this kind of declaration while the film is still running in the theatres, will definitely boost its business. Just wondering when did 'Barfi's makers filed their entry and how did the Film Federation of India, not only arrived so quickly at the decision but also thought it fit to announce it so hurriedly?

This is the whole point why the film was hastily forwarded for the Oscars...
this decision has definitely urged masses to watch the film ...when it is running in theaters

Consumer manipulation happen in every field.

I personally belief that the overall calm effect of the movie outweighs the flaws of the movie. No one said the movie was perfect or flawless, it just projected characters which are rarely if not never found on screen! Two disabled people were portrayed with a purpose not to evoke sympathy but to show that happiness/love doesn't see cast, creed or the normality of a person. They are equal for everyone provided someone is ready to take the tiniest of grains of happiness with open heart rather than sit and sulk and wait for the mighty tree of happiness to shower the fruits. Barfi! showed people being happy with the grains, something hardly anyone does in today's time anymore. So yeah, if one thinks on those lines then the flaws become ignorable. I guess the writer didn't get this point of the movie...or maybe was in a bad mood because his/her partner is not as caring and loving as Barfi/Jhilmil. Jealous hai :P

@AppleBlossom & blue-ice - the whole article seems ableist to me...or rather, prejudiced against disability. I guess Black and MNIK should have been silent films too judging by this criteria *rolls eyes*

So the main point of this Article is How can a seemingly "normal person" fall in love with an Autistic person? How superficial and Shallow is this reviewer?
