Set in the 1970's in a pretty corner of India (in Darjeeling), Barfi
is the story of three young people who learn that love can neither be
defined nor contained by society's norms of normal and abnormal. One
being Murphy as his parents call him, but everyone else calls him Barfi (Ranbir Kapoor).
He is the one around whom the story revolves. Barfi is a hearing and
speech impaired boy always ready with a prank up his sleeve, he's quite
the charmer, especially with the ladies in Darjeeling. Barfi is the talk
of the town. He falls in love with Shruti (Ileana D'Cruz).
In spite of her deep affection for Barfii, Shruti gives into societal
and parental pressure to marry a 'normal' man and lead a 'normal' life.
Many years later their paths cross once again when Barfi, now in love with Jhilmil (Priyanka Chopra),
is on the run from the police. Barfi is desperately seeking Jhilmil,
who has gone missing. Shruti realizes that Jhilmil is
mentally-challenged and so makes her recognize that true love is really
blind. Caught in a cat and mouse game, in the search for the girl Barfi
loves, Shruti realizes that she is still in love with him. She must now
choose between her happiness and his.
A heart-warming tale of selfless love and about finding happiness in
the smallest things in life; that tells you no matter how tough your
life may be, 'Don't Worry. Be Barfi!'
