Plot

A financially struggling young man navigates hardship, youth and education and makes difficult life choices that result in him ending up as a murderer.

Analysis

Barbarika is a crime/thriller that uses a formulaic storytelling technique throughout the movie. It's a movie that explores contemporary life and it's struggles- especially financial adversity and the challenges it brings. It's an expressive, emotional movie where the main character is burdened with various tough life choices, fueled by his economic deprivation. Overall, it's a pretty generic movie but has the right amount of moral sap and values to keep one's attention if they're into movies that play more on emotions and feelings than they do well- structured storylines and direction.

Star Performance

The cast does a fairly decent job of delivering performances.

What’s There?

  • Emotional, underdog story
  • Explores societal standards in an accurate fashion

What’s Not There?

  • Generic storyline
  • Sub-par cinematography

Verdict

Barbarika is a movie exploring how deficits in the certain privileges of life like education and socio-economic assurances can affect an individual's life in various ways. It's a decent watch if emotional, personal movies are your cup of tea. The plot is quite generic and average but it does manage to impart a pretty important message about society and its nuances.
