Several Scenes of this flick were inspired from several films in the history of Hollywood. It is very difficult for us to point out. Given below shown are the list of Hollywood films where scenes were lifted for this Bollywood version .
1. The single door sliding scene in the film has been taken from Charlie Chaplin’s 'THE ADVENTURER (1917)'.
2.The sequence where Rupa Ganguly brings her daughter Illeana in the forest kind of location and reveals the secret of her silent love is straight away from 'THE NOTEBOOK(2004)'.
3.There are some comedy scenes where Ranbir walks into a door and his nose gets hurt, such that he bring back in place with his other hand, making some more funny faces along with his comic movements with the dummy on a sofa are both inspired from the song sequence of “Make Them Laugh” in 'SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN (1952)'.
4. The scene where a piece of paper sticks with Ranbir and the manner in which he sticks papers strips to his eyelids and tongue was also there in TV series Mr. Bean (1990) and in' Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)'.
5. The bicycle chase moving within the narrow lanes and tapping the windows sequence reminds you of Jackie Chan’s" PROJECT A (1983)".
6. The mouse running inside a running wheel can also be seen in a scene of BLACK CAT, WHITE CAT (1998)'.
7. The tragic sequence of Ranbir’s father getting a severe attack but Ranbir unable to hear his voice has its resemblances with a similar kind of sequence in Gulzar’s "KOSHISH (1972)".
8. Some part of its sound track seems to be very close to the soundtrack of French film "AMELIE (2001)".
9. The sub-plot of the film staging a fake kidnap and death is partially inspired from the similar one in "GONE BABY GONE (2007)".
10. Another interesting fact is the final scene of Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s award winning Malayalam film “Mathilukal” (1989) which reminds you of the shoe throwing sequence in BARFI.
11. The sequence wherein Ranbir and Ileana’s start distributing food to the needy was quite similar to “Fried Green Tomatoes” (1991).
12. The interrogation scene where Ranbir responds to a question that asks him to reveal everything by starting with his birth was there in “The Goonies” (1985) "too.
