Baida

Bad direction, plot holes and unexplained stuff, this pretty much summarize the whole movie. I would commend the filmmakers going into a world bollywood doesn't try too often, however, the direction was not at all upto the mark. The film is not as imaginative as the makers claim it is. The background music did try to put some thrill but fails. You don't feel what's going on the screen, don't feel related because there is no character development. You don't feel immersed in the universe the movie has created. Most probably because of the actor, there has to be an innocence, a vulnerability in such a character for the audience to feel the pain and fear, that was totally missing. That's why the audience don't feel it. The movie theatre I went to, had only 5 people watching the movie (excluding me). All of them were bored as hell. A movie that can easily be skipped to save time and money. If you have seen a lot of Hollywood movies, you will definitely not going to waste your time on this one.

BAIDA brings a refreshing change by steering away from typical sci-fi clichés. Instead, it presents a gripping story that blends supernatural elements with emotional depth. The story keeps you guessing, and the film's smart direction ensures every twist lands effectively. Sudhanshu Rai's performance keeps the audience invested, but it's Sourabh Raaj Jain's villainous act that steals the spotlight. The film's impressive cinematography and gripping score add tension, making it hard to look away. With strong writing, well-crafted visuals, and memorable performances, BAIDA proves to be an exciting watch for thriller enthusiasts.

I had high hopes from Baida because the marketing team called it a science fiction thriller. When I watched the movie in an empty movie hall, I realized there was 0% science in the movie and there was nothing interesting to keep the audience glued. No wonder Baida shows are being cancelled due to empty theatres. This is a dumb plot with zero execution to make it look relatable. The bad acting by the cast further proved movie will not stay in theatres for long, who gives permission to such movies to even play in theatres. The content is not even good enough for OTT. No matter how hard the makers are trying to call it a path breaking film, or the first Bollywood sci-fi thriller, or unique film, it's all a hoax and an agenda to attract audience. The movie is already a flop, it hasn't even reached 3 crores at the box-office even with a low budget of 10 crores, the movie is a sure shot loss to the makers. The background music try hard to give a feel that something interesting is going on but yawn, it was boring as hell. The producer or director have not watched good thrillers yet it seems. Baida is a bore fest, sorry to say. I wanted to like this film because the trailer got me hooked but it was boring and dumb. Not even fresh and unique, a film with so much of cliché and dumb plot holes.

The concept is truly refreshing and unlike anything we typically see in Bollywood. It's so rare to come across stories that break away from the usual formulas, and this one brings something new and exciting to the table. We definitely need more such narratives in the industry, ones that push boundaries and showcase fresh perspectives.

What's even more impressive is the fact that the actors aren't star kids, yet their performances are absolutely outstanding. They have truly elevated the characters, making them feel so real and raw. It's a testament to their talent and dedication to their craft. You don't need a family legacy to shine in this industry, and these actors have proven that with their mind-blowing performances.

I'm eagerly waiting for the second part! The storyline has so much depth and potential, and Sudhanshu has done an incredible job weaving it all together. Can't wait to see what's next! Keep it up, Sudhanshu! 👏

I watched the trailer of Baida and instantly decided to watch the movie. Booked the tickets the same day and to my surprise the hall was empty just me and my wife. But it turned out to be a very bad experience. Felt like this movie doesn't deserve such a big release. A good chance wasted and nothing entertains you in the movie. The BGM is trying so hard to draw your interest but it can't compensate for a good script. Plot of the movie is so weak. Actors are trying to act but the characters aren't well written. Cinematography is good but nothing can compensate for a weak storyline. Its so slow just like a turtle but it couldn't win against the hare. Avoid this movie at any cost. Such a waste of time and money.

I would have given zero star, but it's not available.
