India’s official Oscar entry tells a heartwarming, Chaplinesque tale of Barfi (Ranbir Kapoor), a deaf and mute charmer who gets entangled with an autistic girl (Priyanka Chopra) and a spoiled heiress (Ileana D'Cruz). An international hit, Barfi! brings three of India's most loved young stars to the world stage. If you love the work of Amélie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Moonrise Kingdom's Wes Anderson, you'll love this.
