Baby John

How many times the audience will be fooled? Difficult to sit through for even half an hour. Irritating characters, bad dialogues, poor bg score, hamming villian and extremely bad storyline. Not an even single area to cherish. Theri by Atlee was bad and now remake is worst!! We should have rights to ask for refund. Rather audience should be paid to watch this. You can't even watch if paid. All the positive reviews are either paid or I pity the people who found this cinema good.

Kalees- Poor Director Atlee- Copycat producer/director Bad remake of Theri which was copier from Vijaykanth starree Shatriyan.

Rating - 3.25/5

An action family drama movie inspired from Atlee's Theri with few variations.

The plot of the story is about a honest & daring cop who leaves his official duty to lead a peaceful private life with his daughter away from his native in a far off place due to some personal reasons and what makes him get back to his official duty forms the storyline.

Kalees has conveyed the story on screen effortlessly with good action sequences and Thaman's incredible BGM's but it may not satisfy the audience who have watched the Tamil movie Theri which was more emotionally connected and closer to heart filled with romantic and melodious songs thats lifts up your spirits.

Good performances on screen by Varun Dhawan,Wamiqa Gabbi, Keerthy Suresh & Rajpal Naurang Yadav. Impressive performance by Jackie Shroff as the antagonist.

A watchable movie with decent action sequences and performances.

This is a good movie to relax and just watch ,remake of theri which was released years ago, the world suits in that movie but in baby John somethings seems outdated and overwhelming VARUNDHAVAN-it suits him , in massy scenes he was top notch in some scenes he went lil too much but okay .. better than his other movies but his best will be still badlapur.. action wise it's good .. the title track is awesome but .. songs in the first half and one in the second half really breaks the continuity of the movie and the songs are also not that great ,RAJPAL YADAV-in a new AVATAR .. keerthy Suresh felt like she was copying Samantha from the original movies THERI ..overall just be tension free and watch the movie JACKIE SHROFF-was good but could be better to conclude good entertainer but the cinephiles would not enjoy this movie much.

The Hindi remake of Theri struggles to capture the essence of the original, despite a few strong performances. Varun Dhawan, though solid in the latter parts of the film, overacts in the early scenes, particularly with forced dialogue like "Mere jaise bahut aaye honge, but main pehli baar aaya hoon." His emotional depth is average, but a standout moment comes during an intense scene involving Nanaji's son.

Keerthy Suresh, in a role made iconic by Samantha, could have delivered more. Though she holds her own, her performance lacks the emotional intensity needed. The supporting cast shines, with Sheeba Chaddha adding charm to her role, and Jackie Shroff stealing the show as the antagonist. Wamiqa Gabbi, despite a promising character as an undercover agent, feels underused.

The film's pacing suffers due to an overabundance of songs, which slow down the narrative, though the background music does add intensity. The direction is competent but lacks the emotional depth that could have elevated the film. While the plot follows the original, the inclusion of Wamiqa's subplot doesn't feel fully integrated.

Overall, the remake is an average watch-solid performances from some, but it fails to leave a lasting impact.

Baby John is the kind of film that makes you question why certain stories still make it to the big screen. It's a loud, brain-numbing mess that recycles the same old masala formula, sprinkled generously with over-the-top slow-motion action sequences that feel more like filler than flair. Not a single punch, be it in dialogue or combat, lands with any real impact.

Keerthy Suresh, despite her undeniable talent, is reduced to a forgettable prop, adding zero charm or depth to the narrative. On the flip side, Wamiqa Gabbi emerges as the film's only silver lining, effortlessly holding her ground and adding a dash of charisma in an otherwise dull affair. The child actor is another unexpected gem, delivering a surprisingly heartfelt performance that momentarily lifts the film out of its monotony. And then there's Jaggu Da, who slips into his role with his usual effortless brilliance.

But if there's one thing that truly tests your patience, it's the background score, a relentless, ear-piercing racket that makes you wonder how anyone survived this in a cinema hall. And just when you think the nightmare is over, in walks Salman Khan during the end credits, hammering the final nail into the coffin of what's now possibly the most cringeworthy cinematic universe ever attempted.

Baby John isn't just avoidable, it's a straight-up endurance test. Watch it only if you enjoy cinematic torture.
