Amelie's Influence
Barfi's shots and music are clearly influenced by French blockbuster hit "Amelie". The visual styles are similar with shots graded to warm tones infused with reds and greens, mostly obtained as a result of DI process. Amelie was ranked as the best shot film of the decade across all languages in the world. Despite the resemblance, Barfi is still sweet in its own right.
