Heyy Babyy

All of us had great expectations with this movie.Coming from a debutant director who made of a career out of critising movies in his TV shows, he had a really tough challenge up his sleeve.

He deserves an applause!!!! Come on guys, making a movie on a subject involving an eight month old movie, and getting the right expressions when necessary is a tough task.Also, it featured Akshay Kumar, arguably one of the most versatile actors of this generation.The combo, along with Rietesh and Fardeen, does well in tickling the funny bone, at most of the places.

Now, u may ask why didn't it get a 10/10, if the script is well-essayed and actors of such talent give their best?????

The answer lies in the screenplay......

Ya, couldn't resist a yawn at some places, especially in the second half.The movie kicks off very well(the title track is scorching).But post-intermission portions become really heavy at times.It again picks up though towards the climax,coming to a predictable end.

The music is very peppy,the cinematography captures Australia well, though there are very few outdoor scenes.

Coming to the cast, Akshay Kumar once again proves why he's one of the most bankable stars today.Flawless acting, with humour and sorrow expressed perfectly.Rietesh masters his supporting role quite well, Fardeen still has lots to do with his dialogue delivery.Vidya Balan is wasted mostly, what was Sajid thinking when he casted him for a role lasting only 30 min....

Seriously,Vidya has to start thinking about the roles she's doin these days, whether it's Guru,Salaam-e-ishq aur Eklavya.

Boman Iraani is good, though under-utilised. SRK and anupam Kher re-live their DDLJ relationship for a cameo.

All-in-all, an entertainer, which gets 7 stars for the movie, and one extra for the performances ........ Family-goers are advised though,the movie is not that clean......:D

Sajid,i'm looking forward to ur next......

Best Of luck......

The film started of quite good with the title song and had cameos of 14 actresses including Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora, Sophie Chaudhary, Neha Dhupia, Celina Jaitly, Ryiya Sen, Dia Mirza, Koena Mitra, Shamita Shetty, Minnisha Lamba and so on. When the baby arrived then got really funny although you didn't need any brains just sit back & laugh. The baby was so precious, wonderful, adorable, and lovable. First half was good it really made me laugh & cry but in the second half when Vidia Balan came then got quite boring for some reason maybe because she spoiled it even Shah Rukh Khan's special appearance couldn't save it.

There is nothing new it's just the same old comedy and makes no difference whether you watch it or not. Inspired from Three men and a baby I can't remember when I saw it because it was a very forgettable film as well as this one. Music is OK the only good songs are the title song, Hey Baby by the Girl Band and Jaane Bhi De. 2007 is not a good year for Bollywood movies as 2006 e.g. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Don, Krrish, Dhoom 2. I've seen a lot of movies of 2007 and I only liked a few.

Thought process as you watch "Hey Babyy"::

First-half:: Is it the same Sajid Khan who directed the weakest segment of Darna Zaroori Hain? No way!!

First-half of second-half:: This Sajid Khan and that Sajid Khan are probably the 'Kumbh Ka Mela brothers'.

Second half of second half:: Oui Maa... Yeh Muaa Toh Wahi Hain!!!

Yes, the first half takes the graph higher and higher. Enter Vidya Balan and the movie sinks deeper than Titanic. If the little baby steals your heart in the first half, the big baby smashes it with equal vengeance.

Akki:: Its a role which has various layers to it and da man does not falter a bit. A meaty role amongst the trio. In Dil Toh Paagal Hain it was guest role for Akki, but now its payback time for SRK.

Vidya Balan:: The lethargic nasal voice maybe your signature style but you are overdoing it. And, in the name of versatility if you attempting to break the Parineeta mould in one go, caution... you may fall flat on your face.

Boman Irani as the Inspector was fantastic while Boman Irani in comic part was a big downer. And why the false alarm of heart-attack as a mere chest pain?

Fardeen Khan, loved him in his Chupke-Chupke attire and of course the take it slowly episode.

Ritiesh Deshmukh, dependable as usual and IMO he should stop getting slapped in every other movie. Politics and underworld nexus go hand-in-hand, beware!

And finally of course, being Farah Khan's sibling Hey Baby has a miniature parade of Bollywood faces in the title song, only fairer sex but.

first things first THIS IS NOT A REMAKE OF THRE MEN AND A BABYA Now that we have covered the misconception. this movie is an original and is a typical Bollywood comic flick at times its at par with some of the better comedies of Hollywood. this movie marks the entry of one of the most talented mouths and bolly brain guys around - Sajid khan. being a critic he probably knew what the people wanted and has churned out this brilliant movie. what surprises is that he has handled every detail of the movie really well and has well given his all into it. the story is good, a bit of loose ends here and there but its a movie what else do you expect. if people want that much reality i guess film your everyday life and you could watch it and consider it a masterpiece. the acting is flawless. Fardeen surprisingly pulls of his part very well. Ritesh deshmukh is a born talent and well his comic talent is something which is still untaped. would love to see him do some serious roles too. Akshay Kumar is the best among the lot. he has enacted his part to perfection and well every movie just cements him as one of the best in bollywood. its about time the top actors make space for the new king. Boman is his plain old excellent self. Vidya is beautiful and looks amazing. her acting is perfect no hitches at all. one thinks of Kajol when seeing her. now that a compliment overall excellent movie and well i loved it

Of course this is a new genre of Bollywood movies...comedy which is gaining popularity don't go looking for depth ...and sure it is a rip off the Hollywood movie three men and a baby but still I really liked the chemistry between Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Ritesh Deshmukh..the dialog are quite witty too...the movie starts off quite well and the scenes where the three guys are trying to handle the baby are quite hilarious...some kudos are due to the director Sajid Khan for keeping a good grip...Vidya Balan looks lovely too...and the just check out the cameo appearance of the great SRK and guess what he has a pony tail...all in all a good comedy:)
