…though this film looks always to be on the move, it frequently stalls. The result is a sort of frantic business which flatters to deceive : ‘Baby’, fronted by its fleet-footed hero with his brisk moustache and its background-music-overlaid action, feels longer than it should.

…for the last 10 or 15 minutes of ‘Baby’, it keeps you on the edge and sends you off feeling happy. But, too little, too late Pandey has written the story, script and directed ‘Baby’. Sometimes another pair of eye, another brain isn’t such a bad idea.

The second-half, especially the climax is where the film has scored well and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Pandey’s Baby, one must say, wouldn’t have been as interesting without the lead troika.

Go watch Baby for Akki-Kher-Danny troika!

Baby is a dreary drama that meanders from one action sequence to another without making the audience any wiser.

At 2 hours and 40 minutes Baby is too long to entertain and since it’s full of flaws it seems much longer.

Following A Wednesday and Special Chhabis, Pandey works with a bigger canvas for his third film. But Baby proves that bigger doesn’t always mean better.

Baby offers a mixed bag, by and large it remains predictable for most parts but the redeeming factor is the finale that is reminiscent of Argo, but keeps you engrossed all the same. That may not be the only film that Baby reminds you of, there is also a bit of Nikhil Advani’s D-Day in the storyline.

The film is full of improbable developments, convenient cinematic license and absurd portions. The only redeeming features are the ensemble cast, a few engaging action portions and a fast-paced second half.
