Run Baby Run

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.

What a start and sensational first half ! That phone call at the interval was perfectly timed to make this a memorable second half. But the film just started loosing out as the second half progressed as instead of the policeman given an important role and fight sequences, the joker of a main character, whose the film's biggest weakness , is shown as a hero - just bad storyline in the last half hour to a hour. Even the end doesn't justify the starting sequences at all.

How can they mess up such a great script at the end or towards the end ? What a lame can't act at all main character chosen ? Really messed up a 10/10 first half to a 2/10 second half.

1st half of the movie nice.

But plot of the movie and climax not good. Can't imagine that villain character actually holds a respectable position of a college. The director could have structured the second half of the movie more thrilling.

Disappointment at the end. Moreover, the heroine of the movie looks suspicious from the beginning like she herself had committed a crime. If a person is really in a bad situation then should explain the situation to the police officers to put an end. Rather, the heroine character took the responsibility by herself and fights for the injustice happened to her friend is strange.

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.

Excellent Tamil thriller after a long time. Indian producers now understand about us the silent majority who like to see movies with some substance, not always the masala movie that our kollywood is spurning out in mass.

The movie was well made although the first half took too long to get to the point. Story was good, the suspense was Hitchcock like. So yes let's give us more movies like this.

Very grateful to the writer and the producers. A hint to the producers: Watch Hitchcock's Conflict with Humphrey Bogart and you might get an idea for your next movie. We will be supporting you. Good luck!
