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 because the 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. In truth very recently even Anurag Basu said that Barfi! isn't entirely a silent film. However, this may well be 'almost' with regards to truth, what with insiders revealing that the dubbing of all of the film have been wrapped up in under five days.

"This was presupposed to be a well kept secret and in addition the USP of the film. However, the cat of out of the bag. Barfi! is nearly 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 all through 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 all of the 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 is, she would complain even supposing that is her debut Bollywood outing", the source adds.

No wonder, the film was earlier imagined 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!
