Baby John (2024) may share its core premise with Theri, but it takes a darker, more intense approach to storytelling. While both films follow a father on a path of vengeance, Baby John heightens the brutality, delivering more gripping action sequences and deeper emotional stakes. The film also broadens its scope, introducing a larger interconnected universe, including Salman Khan’s Agent Bhai Jaan. With stronger female leads, a more formidable antagonist, and a mid-credits tease hinting at future installments, Baby John carves out its own identity. But before diving into that, let’s first understand what happens to Satya, and what pushes him to become Baby John.

Baby John was expected to revamp Varun Dhawan’s career, but unfortunately, it has done more damage than good for him. Performance-wise, the actor gave his all, but when it came to box office returns, the film turned out to be a disaster.

On Christmas, Varun’s latest action thriller opened to fair numbers, and despite a share of merits, it failed to attract footfalls to theatres. The biggest reason behind the film’s failure is its tag of being a remake of Thalapathy Vijay’s Theri. It faced an outright rejection from the audience, and even the Pushpa 2 storm dented its run.

In “Baby John,” Varun Dhawan plays John D’Silva, a humble baker and loving single father in Kerala whose peaceful life is destroyed when he meets a group of bad guys. This event forces him to confront a past he thought he had buried: his time as a police officer.
As the story goes on, we see John become an avenger who goes back and forth between protecting and attacking. His secret identity comes out like the last trick of a magician, making people question whether physical force can protect his daughter Khushi (Zara Zyanna).
The film builds up to big fights with the flashy bad guy Babbar Sher (Jackie Shroff), whose actions make it hard to tell what is right and wrong.

At one point in Baby John, a little girl named Khushi (Zara Zyanna) hides under a bed, screaming with fear. Outside, bad guys are pulverizing her caretakers. She can hear the mayhem and anticipate that bad things are coming her way.
The scene made me wonder why her father, the titular Baby John (Varun Dhawan), hadn’t trained her the way that Honey instructs her young daughter Nadia in Citadel: Honey Bunny, also starring Dhawan as Nadia’s father. Nadia is such a pro at dealing with murderous attacks that when one takes place, Honey just tucks her into a trunk, puts headphones on her ears and tells her to listen to the song and not come out.
Incidentally, both Nadia and Khushi belong to a club particular within Indian cinema — that of overtly precocious kids who speak like adults. (I think of the cancer-stricken Sexy from Cheeni Kum as the president of this club.

The verdict of Varun Dhawan’s Baby John is now out, and it’s really sad to see that despite the actor giving his best, the film has faced a complete rejection from the audience. It took a fair start on the Christmas holiday, but the film failed to match those numbers by a big margin in the following days. In fact, except for the opening day, it hasn’t even touched double-digits on any of the days. Today, on day 5, the condition remained poor as the collection didn’t even touch the 5 crore mark.
In the post-pandemic era, being a remake is a curse, and the audience is hardly giving such films any chance. Only Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam and Shaitaan have been exceptions, but all remakes, even well-made ones, have tanked miserably. Unfortunately, even the Varun Dhawan starrer falls into the latter category.

Salman Khan Cameo Baby John ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Varun Dhawan’s Baby John has had a decent run at the box office. However, one thing that has become the most talked-about point of the film is Salman Khan’s cameo. The Sikandar actor appears in the film’s final moments to rescue Baby John and the others.
What happens at the end of Baby John?
Salman Khan made his cameo appearance in the mid-credit scene, where Jackie Shroff’s child trafficking gang tied up Varun Dhawan, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rajpal Yadav. All three were agents fighting against the antagonist group. However, a mysterious person soon arrives on the scene with a scarf covering his face.
He jumps into the situation, removes his scarf during the action, and reveals himself as Salman Khan. The megastar is introduced as Agent Bhai Jaan in the film, seemingly the fourth member of Baby John’s agent group.

Baby John, directed by Kalees, is an official remake of Atlee’s 2016 thriller drama, Theri, starring Vijay in the lead role. Before Baby John was released, Atlee had announced that it was not a scene-for-scene copy but merely an adaptation of Theri. Though there were many scenes that were replicated in the exact same manner, there were a few characters and subplots that were changed in Baby John. So, let’s track down the major differences between Baby John and Theri and find out the motivation of the creators behind doing so.
Spoiler Alert
Ashwin’s death
In Vijay starrer Theri, we saw that the goat herders found the young victim and then took her to the hospital. That poor girl succumbed to her injuries in the hospital itself. Baby John made things a bit more dramatic as the victim there burned to death in front of Satya’s eyes.

There is this general sentiment that Tamil movies are loud and extremely crass. Everything from the action to the emotions is over-the-top. The colors are garish. The performances don’t leave a lot of room for nuance. And the success of these films depends on the fan following of the star that has been cast rather than the quality of the filmmaking and storytelling. I’m not going to sit here and defend Tamil movies and how they are perceived because, to be honest, they are all the things that they are accused of being. That said, once these Tamil movies are remade or adapted by Bollywood, that’s when you discover a strong sense of respect for the former. With the exception of Vikram Vedha, every single Hindi remake of anything coming out of Kollywood has been an abomination. Akshay Kumar’s Laxmii and Cuttputtli were downright unwatchable, while Sarfira was a massive flop.

Directed by Kalees, Baby John follows the life of a Dsp named Satya Verma, who fought for justice all his life and made sure that the rule of law prevailed. But then something unprecedented happened in his life, and he had to change his ways. Atlee aims to create a cop universe, and so many more cops-turned-vigilantes will be a part of this world and support Baby John to fight for the country and help the downtrodden and the underprivileged. So, let’s explore the events of the film in a chronological order to find out if Baby John was able to save his daughter or not.
Spoiler Alert
How did Satya meet Meera?
Dcp Satya Verma was a no-nonsense cop, and he was the kind of man who knew that one had to be a part of the system to fix it. Whenever he saw a person being oppressed,...

Baby John’s ending hinges on the faceoff between Dcp Satya Verma and Nanaji Aka Babbar Sher. Other than having his fingers in a lot of pies, Babbar Sher is the head of an international human trafficking racket, while his son, Ashwin, is a serial rapist. When Ashwin molests and murders a schoolgirl named Amba, Satya retaliates by killing Ashwin. Nanaji hits back by attacking Satya while he is meeting his beloved Meera and her family. Then Satya humiliates Nanaji and throws him in jail. [Spoiler Alert] After a few years, Nanaji walks out a free man and shoots Satya, Meera, and Satya’s mother, and leaves Satya and Meera’s daughter, Khushi, to drown. Satya’s mother dies on the spot, Satya and Meera are fatally wounded, and Khushi is barely breathing. While she is on her last legs, Meera forces Satya to save Khushi and then resign from his job to focus only on Khushi.

Atlee’s assistant aces the action in this massy family-drama-meets-mirth ‘n’ mayhem entertainer. Baby John is to movie entertainment what video games are to kids on a summer break. Great fun but nothing to engage in a discussion about once done.
For those who have seen the Tamil original Theri, Baby John still has some surprises in store especially in the second half when all hell breaks loose, the revving cars and rata-tating guns go amok and the villains seem to be high on depravity.
Director Kalees doesn’t believe in understatement, and that’s an understatement! Every character speaks in exclamation marks. Every plotting propulsion is a pretext for streetside rhetorics. No one breathes easy in Atlee/Kalees’ world. Not when the world is a highly unsafe place for children and girls. Some has to do the dirty work.

Theri, the 2016 Atlee directorial, followed the story of an honest cop named Vijay Kumar. After the director announced that a Hindi remake of the same would be made, there were speculations about him wanting to extend the franchise. Firstly, I believe that Baby John, directed by Kalees, won’t deviate from the original storyline, though the creators might end up taking a few creative liberties here and there to suit the current time. So I believe now is the best time to quickly recap the events of Theri and find out what the basic plot of Baby John could be and in what direction the creators could take the franchise.

American actor Grant Gustin kickstarted his acting career in 2004 while still in high school. He had landed a role in the movie Rain, in which he played the role of a mute young man who helped a man solve the mystery of his wife’s murder with visions he was getting. The director/producer, Neil Grochmal, had said that Gustin would have a great future in acting, and he wasn’t wrong.
