Billu Barber
Based on the Malayalam hit film Katha Parayumbol, ”Billu Barber” is a comment on the modern cult of celebrity, where association with a film star elevates an ordinary man to the status of a hero. Devotees of Shahrukh will revel in the superhuman stature of their idol. The rest of us can bask in the glow of Irrfan’s acting prowess and wallow briefly in the illusion of a society where truth and sincerity prevail.

”Billu” turns out to be a superb balance between fun and an examination of a key negative human condition. I was pretty much entertained throughout, and thanks to the all round fine performances from the cast, ”Billu” is very much enjoyable, and puts itself into the shortlist of one of the fine movies of the year thus far.
