Baby John

This is a good movie to relax and just watch ,remake of theri which was released years ago, the world suits in that movie but in baby John somethings seems outdated and overwhelming VARUNDHAVAN-it suits him , in massy scenes he was top notch in some scenes he went lil too much but okay .. better than his other movies but his best will be still badlapur.. action wise it's good .. the title track is awesome but .. songs in the first half and one in the second half really breaks the continuity of the movie and the songs are also not that great ,RAJPAL YADAV-in a new AVATAR .. keerthy Suresh felt like she was copying Samantha from the original movies THERI ..overall just be tension free and watch the movie JACKIE SHROFF-was good but could be better to conclude good entertainer but the cinephiles would not enjoy this movie much.

Negatives: 1. While I haven't seen Theri, the story feels average it's decent but lacks novelty.

2. The emotional scenes lack impact. They're rushed due to editing, making it hard to connect with the moments.

3. The film's "mass" appeal could have been amplified with more impactful dialogues that elicit whistles and cheers.

4. The relationship between Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh feels underdeveloped, failing to create the emotional depth needed for stronger engagement.

Baby John: A Disappointing Imitation of "Theri" "Baby John" sadly falls flat as a pale imitation of the South Indian action-thriller "Theri." While attempting to replicate the successful formula of its predecessor, it stumbles into a realm of overacting and predictable plot points, leaving the audience feeling thoroughly unimpressed.

The film's narrative, a thinly veiled copy of "Theri," lacks originality and fails to captivate viewers. The predictable storyline, filled with cliches and formulaic plot twists, offers little to no surprises. The protagonist, Baby John, while attempting to embody the charismatic persona of Vijay from "Theri," comes across as a shallow imitation, devoid of the depth and nuance that made the original character so compelling.

The acting performances, unfortunately, are a major letdown. The actors seem to be overcompensating for the lack of a strong script, resulting in exaggerated expressions and melodramatic portrayals. This overacting further diminishes the film's credibility and detracts from the overall viewing experience. The dialogue, too, is often cringeworthy, filled with forced humor and predictable one-liners that fail to elicit any genuine laughter.

The action sequences, while attempting to replicate the high-octane thrills of "Theri," fall short in terms of execution. They appear poorly choreographed and lack the finesse and impact of the original. The special effects are also underwhelming, further diminishing the impact of the action scenes.

In conclusion, "Baby John" is a disappointing cinematic experience that fails to live up to the expectations set by its inspiration, "Theri." The film suffers from a lack of originality, poor acting performances, and underwhelming action sequences. Viewers seeking a thrilling and engaging cinematic experience are advised to steer clear of this predictable and underwhelming imitation.

Baby John is the kind of film that makes you question why certain stories still make it to the big screen. It's a loud, brain-numbing mess that recycles the same old masala formula, sprinkled generously with over-the-top slow-motion action sequences that feel more like filler than flair. Not a single punch, be it in dialogue or combat, lands with any real impact.

Keerthy Suresh, despite her undeniable talent, is reduced to a forgettable prop, adding zero charm or depth to the narrative. On the flip side, Wamiqa Gabbi emerges as the film's only silver lining, effortlessly holding her ground and adding a dash of charisma in an otherwise dull affair. The child actor is another unexpected gem, delivering a surprisingly heartfelt performance that momentarily lifts the film out of its monotony. And then there's Jaggu Da, who slips into his role with his usual effortless brilliance.

But if there's one thing that truly tests your patience, it's the background score, a relentless, ear-piercing racket that makes you wonder how anyone survived this in a cinema hall. And just when you think the nightmare is over, in walks Salman Khan during the end credits, hammering the final nail into the coffin of what's now possibly the most cringeworthy cinematic universe ever attempted.

Baby John isn't just avoidable, it's a straight-up endurance test. Watch it only if you enjoy cinematic torture.

The same old storyline once again repackaged with different actors, different director, different camera angles. While watching this film reminded me of that song from one of SRK's old film Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, in that there is a line that says 'thodi ham mein sachchai hai thodi hai baimaani, kabhi naye packet mein bechein tumko chiz puraani".

I watched this film only because I have slight bias for Varun Dhawan. I find him slightly likeable amongst all the current lot of mediocre mainstream actors. But even he brings nothing new to the film. Full of clichés such as hero helping blind beggars, heroine singing aartis on baby shower. Villain derailing heroes life, then hero coming back to take revenge.

I can guarantee you that you will keep feeling that you have watched this film before because hundreds of films have been made with the exact storyline and exact formula.

I gave three stars for Keerthi Suresh and Wamiqa for looking damn good, the little girl who was the only savior because of her cuteness and Jaggu Dada for being a good actor even till now.
