Baby John

While Baby John boasts commendable performances, it falls short of being a compelling thriller due to its lackluster plot and uneven pacing. However, the film falters in its writing and direction. The plot feels stretched, with a sluggish first half that echoes Akshay Kumar's Rowdy Rathore.

Baby John attempts to tackle a serious social issue but falls short due to its superficial treatment and over-reliance on overused narrative tropes. While the action sequences and background score are commendable, the film fails to provide a nuanced or innovative take on its subject matter.

The movie has its moments as an actioner, but in terms of content and narrative, it could have more.

Baby John is a good attempt at fan service. But, offers nothing fresh and exciting. It is high time to redefine mass actioners that come from South filmmakers.

Varun Dhawan puts on the southern swag in a film desperate for mass appeal.

While a good amount of buzz was generated to witness the combo of Varun and Atlee coming together, on the other hand, expectations were rife about whether the movie would be able to stand out with its own essence and entertainment value. However, while VD makes a brutally honest effort, the film succumbs to a shoddy execution and plot holes that stick out like a sore thumb.

In Baby John, Varun Dhawan shines in parts, but the film ultimately falls flat.

The film starts off on a very choppy note, and there's no soul for about 40 minutes. There's no sense of direction, and the cute girl bossing around her dad has no effect. Overall, there's nothing much that makes Baby John stand out apart from the action.
