The plot of Barfi was very unusual and something that the Indian audience had never experienced before on the big screen. The story of the movie revolves around the life of an optimistic, street-smart, charming young man who was born deaf and mute, Barfi (Ranbir Kapoor). In desperate need of money, Barfi kidnaps Jhilmil Chatterjee (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), unaware of her autism. When things don’t go as planned, Barfi tries to get rid of Jhilmil but little does he know that God has other plans for him. The way the story of the movie is made teaches people the true meaning of love and proves that it has no language.
