Run Baby Run

Movie started well but it does not carry the momentum, The pace of the movie went down after first 20 mins, After a point you can narrate the story along with director since it is very easily guessable plot. There is lots of well known faces in this movie but they never been utilized properly. RJ Balaji has improved a lot with his acting, few fight scenes were but they did well. Even they tried include the diverting scenes to keep audience guessing but unfortunately it ended up noting. Sam CS music is fine, editing and Cinematography is fine too, Screenplay could have been better and one more good thing about the movie is, It is not a long movie though it is slow.

There's a trend in Tamil Cinema where there are sequences of films in the crime genre with almost a similar kinda plot all over where the main characters try to hide the dead body for which they weren't the cause of it and their struggle to hide that dead body is the core of the plot. This kinda plot most probably started off by the Super Deluxe director and it is still continuing even after several years of its release.

And this film in particular took that core part and made the sequences in 0.001x speed which literally dragged down the whole film, in fact, 70% of the movie is just about that and if you remove that sequence then this becomes more like a short film that's not even worth to put it on youtube for free for people to watch. Just give a thought to that thought process and you'll get a gist of how utterly wasteful the movie would have been.

The big question is how come, an actor/director like RJ-Balaji chose this kinda subject.

The movie starts as a good thriller and maintained the pace very well with continuous events. After one point it is so predictable and lost its pace. The initial suicide scene itself explained the story and reason behind the murder.

Some scenes are so spoon feeding and irritates more. Too much of RJ Balaji presence (especially in the cemetery scene) spoils the fun.

Nothing new in the motive and villain. When the motive becomes so simple, the whole thrill scenes becomes like puppet show.

This could have been better in lot other ways. Excepts some good scenes, this one is easily avoidable.

Where is this movie leading to?

There are so many plot holes, poor screenplay, least engaging movie ever.

At one point (cemetery scene) I don't understand where is this movie leading to.

Some random girl dying in rjb house but he's not calling cops, some random girl body found in share care and the car wala takes all the effort in the world to cremate the body but he doesn't call cops. But the smart crematorium wala called the cops. After all this rjb comes home and sleep peacefully. Suddenly radhika appears out of nowhere. The car wala guy commits suicide for the crime.that he didn't commit. He could've called cops first itself. Unending random nonsense. Movie got over in intermission but I have no clue why did it keep going for 1.5hrs more. Why? Why?? Why???

Run Baby Run was not bad as it was loaded with suspense, there was no way to tell the end from the beginning as we were suspecting everyone. Overall, the story was gripping, it's just that the unfolding of the mystery plus the acting were ok

DELICIOUS

-One good thing that Run Baby Run did not do was waste time. A few minutes into the opening scenes, we were already taken to the moment Thara (Aishwarya Rai) entered Sathya's life. From there, it was a series of intriguing sequences that fueled the mystery around Aishwarya

-We appreciated Sathya's pure spirit and selflessness, despite all his misfortunes, he still empathized with the innocent and insisted on making the wrongs right. Something we seldom see nowadays

BLAND

-With a title like 'Run Baby Run', we were waiting to see a chase, people running for their lives, or some form of running, yet there was none 🤔

-The CGI visuals were highly noticeable (e.g. Sathya's apartment complex) which hurt the realism of the story. Additionally, the cinematography was plain, it didn't elevate the film's quality

-General acting was passable: RJ was the same from beginning to end, we didn't see much enthusiasm for his role

-The uncovering of the truth was executed in a typical way that wasn't thought-provoking and the lack of a parallel narrative rendered the film monotonous.
