Baba

BABA with excellent screenplay and actress like MANISHA KOIRALLA acting with RAJNIKANT on stage and sets at different locations the shoots were filmed at. The acting with roots in subcontinent thought patterns like which our elders use to do "yoga asanas" and postures with is chanted like song in this movie.

It's an amazing movie for those that understand the deeper concepts within the movie about spirituality and the layman desires. Songs, action sequence is just included as a distraction. At the core of the film, it is great as it talks about the real struggles between man and the divine.

It is not a masala entertainer but actually a movie that make people think deeply. Highly recommend for people who think and reflect. Goundamani's comedy is amazing and Rajini kanth as Baba is superb. Since it is the actor's story, screenplay one can see a very honest portrayal. This movie is not for the average movie goer but it is still a great movie.

Not the best of actors' movies.The director has concentrated on projected actor's stardom rather than giving a good entertainer. May be hero himself, his family and his sincere fans can enjoy it.But definitely it's not worth for neutral audience.The fight sequences are a total comedy.The dance moves in the song sequences are pathetic. The music is average.This film was the biggest flop for the actor. Inspite of the hype created over the movie, the movie failed miserably. Don't even think of watching this move even if you want to kill time. You can watch some cartoon instead.A good movie buff cannot digest this crap for 2 1/2 hours.

The movie is awful, atrocious, ridiculous, silly and a slap on the cine goers face. Rajni has made other entertaining movies, but has failed miserably in this venture. Avoid seeing this movie at any cost. Please don't even try watching this movie to assess how bad it is. You will be wasting your time as much as I did.

I am not a big fan of Rajnikant in the first place, but Baba was a huge disappointment. In between an awful storyline, the action and songs were only mediocre. The storyline becomes very preachy. Instead of running for office like NTR or MGR, Rajni almost appeared to be running as Tamil Nadu's next big guru. My wife tells me that since this film came out, Rajni swore off doing any more movies!

We were lucky initially to have bought Babu (an oldie by Sivajiganeshan) online by accident when trying to buy this one....that was a great film, which made up for having bought this dud...except it makes Baba look even worse by comparison!
