Billu Barber

These days I run away from Hindi movies. Most of them are frivolous love sagas and the ostentatious display of love makes me neasus.But yesterday I watched Billu Barber and it was a relief from all the song and drama sequence. It's a simple story about a village barber and his childhood friend, now a Bollywood superstar. Of course there is song and dance sequence but as one of the characters if Bollywood actor, the sequence does not sound too irritating. If you know story of Krisha ani Sudama then you will find similarities in Billu's story. I love Irfan Khan. I think he is one of the most talented actors bollywood has seen recently. SRK is as usual charming. But the best part of the movie is dialogue. If you know typical Indian village then many of the scenes make more sense. There was as usual controversy about the name of the movie. Apparently, Barbers were offended by the name Billu Barber and so the word barber is omitted from the title song. What's wrong with people? But of course omitting barber does not affect the film anyways. Many of my friends did not like the movie. But I think it is quite entertaining. If you enjoy simplicity , Billu Barber is a must watch.
