What was being speculated all this while and will have possibly escaped after being tagged as a rumour has actually turned out to be a real. Ever for the reason that making of Barfi! , it was being said that this was almost a silent film with neither Ranbir Kapoor nor Priyanka Chopra having many dialogues to their credit. Actually very recently even Anurag Basu said that Barfi! isn't entirely a silent film. However, this would well be 'almost' just about truth, what with insiders revealing that the dubbing of all of the film have been wrapped up in under five days.
"This was speculated to be a well kept secret and likewise the USP of the film. However, the cat of out of the bag. Barfi! is sort of a silent film and experimental to the core. The mood of the film is such that there are minimal dialogues required within the narrative and it's mainly the background score that plays during the narrative. Many just about Anurag were surprised when he informed that he's through with the film's dubbing. Typically it takes a slightly very long time - especially for star driven films - to wrap up the dubbing part. However in case of Barfi! , it all was finished under five days", informs our source.
It is understandable though since Ranbir plays a deaf and mute young man within the film while Priyanka could also be enacting the nature of an autistic. Still, one would have expected a minimum of Illeana D'Cruz and other supporting actors to have ample dialogues to their credit in order that the entire silence might be compensated for.
"Well, even Illeana doesn't have too many dialogues. She knew about this from Day One so there is not any the reason for this is that she would complain despite the fact that that is her debut Bollywood outing", the source adds.
No wonder, the film was earlier presupposed to be titled Silence, only to be changed to Barfi! a couple of months down the road. Now here's hoping that this Barfi! indeed tastes sweet in its rather silent avtar!
