Bareilly ki Barfi is a quintessential Bollywood RomCom. Though the screenplay is not something new but has been crafted very well via some exceptional dialogues. Though it doesn't work perfectly all the time.
When the film primarily focused on Sanon's part early in the film, the film did look a bit quirky. And to some extent even Khurrana couldn't change this much, with his presence. It is finally when Rajkumar Rao enters, the film starts shedding away some of its artifice which it was carrying. And here is the difference between a good actor and an excellent actor. While others made it look so hard to be believable playing small town people, Rao did it with an strange and satisfying ease. Though I wish Pankaj Tripathi had more to do in this film, but he shines no matter what.
Though the film packs up endless flaws and sometimes it even tries to be pretentious, still it is a pretty good watch.
