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)
