Review of Baby (2015) by Jasrick J — 23 Jan 2015

Ajay Singh Rajput (akshay) is a commando who works in anti-terrorist unit and he works in a team called Baby which is led by the patriotic Firoze Ali Khan (danny). At one point, Firoze tells the ministry that something has to be done to win the confidence of the minorities in India and this would prevent Pakistan from taking advantage. And then there is a hardcore terrorist Bilal Khan (kay kay menon) planning his evil methods to cause fear. How things take shape forms the rest.

The director has come up with a realistic storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was taut and attention grabbing. The dialogues were well written. The script was thrilling, out of the box and the screenplay made the film very tight and racy. The background score was intense and there are no songs which is quite relieving. Cinematography was the main strength to this film. Editing was crisp. Costumes were well designed to suit the backdrop while the art department was majestic. Akshay Kumar has given career best perfomance, somebody please give him a national award. MINDBLOWN.A true bollywood superstar.Danny Denzongpa was dazzling. Rana Daggubati was good. Taapsee Pannu was top notch, watch out for her fantastic.

Action scene.The best among the lot was Anupam Kher, he was superb. Kay Kay Menon was apt. Madhurima Tuli was neat. Sushant Singh was entertaining.

Any film that deals with patriotism is inspiring but when you start looking at a world which is hardly known to you, it gets intriguing. This is the attempt from this team and it sure was amazing, almost pathbreaking one. The first half goes around with the layering of the plot and it is filled with its share of action, drama and powerful dialogues. The interval bang was great and the second half continues the same momentum in connecting the dots, the last 40 min is heart pounding stuff its cinema at its best.This is a film which is not only good in its packaging but will leave you with a sense of respect for the brave officers.Overall Baby is India's best edge of seat thriller, its taut,gripping,fast paced,has amazing action and mindblowing performances.A MASTERPIECE in a true sense. Neeraj Pandey who is one of India's finest directors we saw his brilliance with A Wednesday, and Special 26 .But Baby is his best.Take a bow sir. The way he shot the film so beautiful at international standards, and the action is so real, simply amazing.Baby finally evokes patriotism.You will be proud to be Indian. Left me speechless.Watch one of India's finest thrillers. Its your loss if you don't... Easily one better film seen in awhile.

5/5* or 10/10.
