I never thought that SRK can move to such a height in movie making. This time he proves that he is not only a good actor but also a great human being. It must have been lots of thought collisions which would have struck his head before producing a movie like “BILLU BARBER”. The promos show a very commercial look. If at all you are expecting something like that, cancel your booking right now.BILLU BARBER is a hard hitting and then to a very soft story.
We have heard the tale of Krishna and Sudama, where Krishna helps his old and poor friend revive in life. That’s the tale of BILLU (Irfaan Khan) AND SAHIR (SRK) too. I don’t think I need to elaborate the story any further. If you are aware then you know what you are going to see, which can be seen any number of times, and if you aren’t then go for it, you are missing something in your life lessons.
Irfaan Khan takes his acting to the next level where you laugh when he laughs and cry when you see tears in his eyes. He doesn’t speak much but keeps you waiting for his dialogues. No awards can suffice the excellence.
Lara Dutta, I never knew she can act but this time she proved me wrong, probably a number of you too are going to be surprised by the grace in her act.
The two kids,playing Billu’s son and daughter are excellent. Look for the punches in their conversations.
Rajpal Yadav,Asrani and Om Puri are as funny as ever. Om Puri remains irritated throughout the movie and his irritation is just a treat to watch. Rajpal as a broken poet writes some great funny poetry.
Finally, the “INCIDENTALLY SRK”, who plays the superstar Sahir Khan, is dynamic, stylish and funny.Summing up, I don’t feel he even spoke for ten minutes in the movie but his presence is going to invite the crowd which might have ignored this great work of storytelling calling it as one of the parallel flicks.
The camerawork and cinematography needs to be applauded. The cinema screen just looks too beautiful with the projector flashing BILLU BARBER on it.
Music is very nice and peppy but some songs were oddly placed, anyways, they didn’t seem bad cause of the presence of Shahrukh and the beautiful bollywood ladies.
Priyadarshn sets a milestone now, he proves than being a render of comedy doesn’t mean that he has lost the art of making some good and brainy cinema although his trademark comic scenes are often visible in the movie.
I don’t want to elaborate my review as there is no need of doing it.
If you like good music, go for BILLU BARBER.
If you like good stories go for BILLU BARBER.
If you like good acting, go for BILLU BARBER.
If you like good movies go for BILLU BARBER.
And last but never the least,
IF YOU WANT TO SEE TWO TITANS, SRK AND IRFAAN SHARING THE SCREEN TOGETHER THOUGH FOR FEW MINUTES, GO FOR BILLU BARBER.
