Seems to be of GA quality. I'd have expected to see one or two negative reviews, are you certain it was universally well-received?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  19:44, 12 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Barfi! has received unanimous critical acclaim. I'm unable to find any negative review. Prashant  talk  04:25, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There are some mixed reviews, though. Will replace to "generally positive".Plea$ant 1623  ✉  05:31, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Mixed reviews? Please document them. Also if you want access to any of the articles on Barfi HighBeam research I'll email them to you unless you have access yourself. I spot some on production and I think some of the sources could be used to further improve this before I pass.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  11:57, 13 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think so....there are any. Using Generaly doesn't prove that. Also, Rotten Tomatoes and ReviewGang proves that it was a critical success. I think the reviews which gave the film three stars are kind of average. So, its neutral. Prashant  talk  14:42, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There is one. Plea$ant 1623  ✉  16:09, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

 * "The film insists too hard that we find the magical in the mundane. "♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  13:45, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Barfi! is facing a lot of flak.
 * Whilst the slow moving story may annoy those who prefer punchy dialogue and vibrant visuals, this could very well be the arty favourite of discerning movie goers.
 * Award-winning director Karan Johar said 'Barfi!' has corroded his thinking processes
 * Basu's biggest achievement by far is in his refusal to mine disability for sympathetic response, avoiding both the pitfalls of caricature and outright pity
 * "Films like Barfi! don't rate high on TV.
 * These all things are mentioned in the article. Prashant  talk  03:41, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
