  The Power of Subtlety in Bollywood’s Barfi!: A Silent Symphony of Emotions Bollywood, often associated with grandeur, melodrama, and song-and-dance sequences, occasionally surprises with films that are quiet yet deeply moving. An excellent example is Barfi! directed by Anurag Basu, a 2012 film that defies conventional Bollywood norms by crafting a story where silence speaks louder than words.

Kapoor’s portrayal of Barfi is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, capturing the innocence and zes...
