Giving films like Kahaani, The Dirty Picture and Paan Singh Tomar and several others a nudge, UTV-Disney’s Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz-starrer Barfi has been chosen as India’s official entry to the Academy awards this year.
The film tells the story of Barfi, a mute and deaf boy in Darjeeling, and his relation with two girls, one of whom is autistic. On the whole, the film centers around these three young people who learn that love can neither be defined nor contained by society's norms of normal and abnormal.
