    Good movie.. Make us think about Spiritually

    Good movie with great dialog. This movie explains about Spiritually.

    BABA the epic movie with visualization

    BABA with excellent screenplay and actress like MANISHA KOIRALLA acting with RAJNIKANT on stage and sets at different locations the shoots were filmed at. The acting with roots in subcontinent thought patterns like which our elders use to do "yoga asanas" and postures with is chanted like song in this movie.

    MUST WATCH MOVIE

    He symbolically shows his party's Flag and colour. These colours were also used in the movie kaala.

    Disappointing

    I am not a big fan of Rajnikant in the first place, but Baba was a huge disappointment. In between an awful storyline, the action and songs were only mediocre. The storyline becomes very preachy. Instead of running for office like NTR or MGR, Rajni almost appeared to be running as Tamil Nadu's next big guru. My wife tells me that since this film came out, Rajni swore off doing any more movies!

    We were lucky initially to have bought Babu (an oldie by Sivajiganeshan) online by accident when trying to buy this one....that was a great film, which made up for having bought this dud...except it makes Baba look even worse by comparison!

    Awful...

    The movie is awful, atrocious, ridiculous, silly and a slap on the cine goers face. Rajni has made other entertaining movies, but has failed miserably in this venture. Avoid seeing this movie at any cost. Please don't even try watching this movie to assess how bad it is. You will be wasting your time as much as I did.

There we're also occurrences where the screens we're torn by the party members in order to stop the movie screening which led to a disaster in box office result
