Bareilly Ki Barfi is a sweet romantic tale about small-town lovers. What makes the film stand out is the finesse with which Ashwiny has etched her characters, adding fine details and quirks making them more true to life. And while its collection has been continuously improving even in the second week, let’s wait and see how long it can hold back the other releases, such as Annabelle: Creation, A Gentleman and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha.
