The 2nd half is taken to another level thanks to the entry of Rajkummar Rao at the end of 1st half. There are no heavy scenes and the humour never goes over the top. Everything shown on screen is so authentic that I felt I was transported to Bareilly and I could connect with Bitti, her parents and Chirag the man loves Bitti and who also has secretly written the book Bitti loves. The 1st half is hilarious with some great one liners and well written scenes. Her Dad is loving caring and supportive but her mom thinks her as a pain. The story of 20 something yr old Bitti who works for the Electricity Board who smokes, drinks, eats non veg, watches English movies and does break dance on her terrance and falls for a writer of flop book is an interesting premise. Set in Bareilly in UP and inspired from Sajan, the movie is one hell of a romantic comedy from start to finish. Bareilly Ki Barfi (BKB) belongs to that forgotten era and I thank Ashwiny Iyer and Nitesh Tiwari to take us back to that era and make a film that connects with today's audience. Golmaal, Itni Si baat, Chupke Chupke were some of the finest movies that came out from this duo. The story revolved around the man's life and the movies were clean and simple. There was an age in Hindi Cinema where doyens like Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterji made some of Hindi cinemas finest comedies featuring the middle class man.
