This movie speaks plain truth of reality, lives and lies of a girl in a relationship and her loyalty. Whatever a guy does, a girl's mind will be wavering. They keep going for next best thing in life. For argument sake you can say they're selfish but they're very calculative. Until stress management or damage control situation comes. That's what this movie talks about.
A middle class girl falls in love with a 10th fail auto driver. Little did she know that she's going to meet better attractive and handsome rich guys which would change her life decisions.
The screenplay is very slow and is targeted for youngsters. They may like it but still it's tiring.
This movie is close to reality because it happened to me. It happened to many of my friends so i can relate. The intermission scene was excellent. Vaishnavi understood the character and acted well throughout the movie.
I think the movie should have went like she made an alternate decision and lived strong with it. I don't know why the guilty drama, suicide blah blah.
Among the movies which portray they're innocent, they're exploited, they've been cheated this movie talks the harsh reality. How much ever they cheat, they lie, even in their disastrous phase of life, girls' life always keep moving forward and better. A dialog from jiivi movie - ponungaloda vazhkai adutha adutha thalatha nokki poite irukum. Nee nambunalum nambala nalum athan unmai.
Worth the watch if you can manage the slow pace.

The movie shows women in bad light and is a bad influence on youngsters. It shows as if there is no life without love which isn't true. It shows romance at school going age when society is already struggling with rise of romance is school going kids, and related suicides etc. This is what happens when irresponsible and immature directors make movies. The characterization of characters in the movie is bad, except for Anand Devarakonda's. Vaishnavi Chaitanya's role is really bad. Overall, very disappointed by the movie. A must avoid. And something you can't watch with family. Bad influence. Avoid.
Director Sai Rajesh presents "Baby," a poignant yet relatable tale that mirrors real-life experiences, making it a worthwhile watch. However, the movie falters in its second half, hampering its overall impact. Nonetheless, it still holds potential for a one-time viewing.
Sai Rajesh weaves a heartrending narrative that tugs at the heartstrings while remaining relevant to contemporary audiences. The first half captivates with its relatable and entertaining content, building up to a captivating interval. Unfortunately, the second half suffers from erratic pacing, unnecessarily dragging certain scenes. Viraj Ashwin's character arc feels underdeveloped and abruptly abandoned, lacking proper closure. The climax, although emotionally powerful, may not resonate universally, contrasting with the film's initial entertainment value. Moreover, the director's handling of the second half appears disjointed and needlessly prolonged.
Vijai Bulganin's exceptional background score enhances the storytelling, adding depth and enjoyment to specific sequences. The cinematography impresses, and the production values are high, although the editing could have improved, particularly in terms of pacing during the second half.
Anand Deverakonda exhibits significant growth as an actor, skillfully portraying the nuanced emotions of his character. He excels in emotional scenes, evoking genuine empathy. Vaishnavi Chaitanya delivers a spectacular performance, fully immersing herself in her character and flawlessly depicting her various emotions and transformations. Her portrayal exhibits commendable depth. In a central role, she shines brightly, leaving no room for disappointment. Viraj Ashwin delivers a solid performance, although he could have delved deeper into emotional scenes. While the supporting cast performs well, Naga Babu and Viva Harsha's potential feels underutilized.

RECOMMENDED.
Even though the story and ending is bit depressing one, the characterisation, cast and screenplay make you sit tight throughout this presentation.
I liked the authenticity of characters and skillful entertaining presentation. Definitely this will not be everyone's cup of tea. Either you love this one or just hate it. The step by step transformation of Vaishnavi is the real core and it was conveyed completely.
The presentation was so natural till the climax, the climax portion was bit abrupt and aimed to add more depression note. Lot of characters are hanging without any conclusion but the movie ended.
