Its rare, in its extremity, for Bollywood to make a masterpiece. But once in a while they do and this year Neeraj Pandey and Akshya Kumar gave a classic like "BABY". Every scene, background score,cinematography and almost everything is done to perfection. And that second half will glue you to your seat! Such a thrill, such a tension,the effort put by director is so brilliant that you will feel like cheering up. None of the characters are wasted. Everyone has a important part to play in. The acting is superb. Everyone, and I mean literally everyone has acted so well that sometime you feel like you are not even watching a movie. Anyone who loves watching Bollywood movies, should not miss this classic. It's a classic, a masterpiece and kind of movie that is made once in a decade. Simply stating it, Its one of the finest movie ever made in Bollywood.

If you are a Ek tha tiger, Dhoom 3, HNY, Bang Bang fanboy/girl, do not watch this movie and do not read this review either, it's just not for you.

Akshay Kumar do not need to romance hot girls, do not need to dance and sing, do not need to do melodrama to deliver a hit movie, he had shown us this back in Special 26, he has done the same here in Baby. The cast is a perfect one and there are no flaws.

MOVIE: It has everything a good espionage thriller need to have- 1. Good cop bad cop routine 2. Cute chick beating the pulp out of the bad guy 3. Super cool combat scenes 4. No unnecessary sentiments and drama 5. Some brilliant dialogues 6. few laugh out loud scenes 7. It focuses on modern warfare--an indirect one--proxy war, which is much spoken about in reference to India in recent times 8. Kick ass background score 9. Cool Spy v/s bad guys 10. funny Akshay Anupam Kher duo

On negatives: Yes even i think the movie was a bit lengthy, if the director had trimmed it 10-15 minutes it would had been great. Yet, this movie is a rare feat. Bollywood rarely delivers movies like this. Its a must watch if you like sensible movies. And regarding the negative reviews, just do not pay any heed to them, for THIS GEM IS NOT TO BE MISSED. Neeraj Pandey as a director has done a brilliant job.

One of the best thriller movie ever made in Bollywoo. Everything looks realisti. Superb acting by Akshay Kumar. Probably the best at that time.

Though I don't categorize movies on the basis of their region or country, I had mentioned this title regarding India being proud of this movie. This is because I have heard people yelling in social media and in public about the low standards of Indian movies specially thrillers which either lack thrill or are copied from Hollywood. I agree to them o most occasions but this one. And I would strongly recommend people who complain about the lack of good movies in Bollywood to go and watch it. Or else stop complaining these craps.

Coming on to the movie, it describes the biggest agenda world is facing right now, i.e, Terrorism, in best way it could. The story comprises of many small incidents which are bound together so slickly that we feel the smooth flow of script. We are lost in the hustle going on in front of us and are keen to know what is coming next. First half makes the plot for the movie and the second half unleashes the execution. Each and every scenes complements its predecessor and we are biting our nails without even noticing it. Last hour is full of thrilling actions and grueling proceedings.

Talking about the acting , I must say Akshay Kumar has delivered a role of his life very convincingly. He lives his character and puts that extra amount of thrill via his superb action. Danny plays his role quite brilliantly. Anupam, Tapsee, Kay Kay and other supporting casts act life to their characters and make this movie a combo of power packed performances.

Director Neeraj Pandey has already made a Wednesday and Sp 26 in past and thats why there was a very little scope for improvement for him. But I would be lying if i don't say that this is a notch higher that his earlier masterpieces. Editing is quite crisp. Screenplay is the soul of this movie while BM is equally engaging. Cinematography is grand and deserve applause. Dialogues are apt and support the movie a lot. Music is average and rightly so. Choreography is nil while action is breathtaking.

It has a few flaws here and there in a few scenes but those are hardly noticed due to the fast paced drama and screenplay.

Overall, a standing ovation for Neeraj and Akshay to give us Indians a movie to feel proud of. It can easily go into books as one of the best Hindi movies.A movie of Hollywood standard and execution. And who knows Akshay might get a shot at his dream of wining a National Award. I won't be surprised if he gets one along with Neeraj Pandey. It also has a potential to be India's official Oscar entry next year.

I have rated this movie comparing it to other Indian movies...otherwise I would universally give it a 9 or 9.5.

What's Good: It's an out an out Neeraj Pandey film. Baby hands down comes out as of the best films when it comes to mixing a subject like terrorism. It is like an Indian version of Body Of Lies.

What's Bad: Almost nothing. I don't know any better way this film could have been presented.

Loo break: Don't move!

Watch or Not?: Baby is a definite watch for anyone who likes action thrillers. With an edge of the seat course of story, it is a treat with its dialogues too. Baby is a must-watch film with rich content. This action thriller will woo you if you are a fan of watching raw action where blood spills and guns are trotted. An honest work that dares to bare terrorism and its religious connection. What I loved most about the film was its quality to hook you a

Really well directed and excellent movie. Different approach and most important is the gripping story line and narration. A "MUST WATCH" movie in theater. The cinematography is good and is a delight to watch and synchronizes well with the movie. And needless to say, one of plus points of the movie is Akshay Kumar's acting as an authentic security officer. Taapsee is a delight to watch. Rana Daggubati's acting is also very good and has done a very good job as another security officer. The storyline and the plot are new and refreshing which highly complements the movie. The songs are good and matches well with the movie without boring or torturing the audience. If you liked the songs in Neeraj Pandey's previous movie "Special 26", then you are sure to like this too, actually the songs are even more good in Baby. And, needless to tell about "Neeraj Pandey", the director who has given us epics like "A Wednesday" and "Special 26". He has just proved his mettle yet again.

I'm a movie buff and watch almost every movie. Last time, I was so excited about a movie was when I saw Ugly! Talking about Neeraj Pandey, I'm among those very people who didn't find the climax of Special Chabbees exciting. In fact, I was able to guess the finale long before it started. And so for me, the finale was the weakest link in Special Chhabees. For A Wednesday, it was a great thriller from start till end.

Now coming to the Baby! The first half started with bang and I was really looking forward to the movie. However, right about the interval, I was thinking that it wasn't all that great! And that's where I was wrong. With the entry of Taapsee Pannu, started a race against time. And here's where Neeraj Pandey really really blew my mind. That's how a thriller is made. Stupid movies like Race 2 ought to learn from this movie. The second half kept me at the edge of my seat that seldom any Hindi movie does.

Kudos to the Baby team for contributing such a gem to Indian Cinema. Thrillers like A Wednesday, Ugly, and Baby are a rare treat to movie goers like me, who just can't leave their brains at home. The critics can find all the fault they want in this movie, but for me it's one of Neeraj's best.

Akshay did a very good job. He is a versatile actor who should do more sensible movies instead of movies like Once Upon A Time In Mumbai - 2. But I'm all praise for Tapsee Pannu. Unlike every Telugu movie, where the heroine is a Bimbo, Tapsee showed her acting prowess with this movie. Anupam Kher was excellent as always. Not much can be said about Rana Daggubati as his role wasn't meaty enough!

All in all, I really enjoyed this movie. Will definitely see again on Silver Screen, too! Urge you all to watch this movie if you really want a fast paced Indian thriller.

This is one of the best movies ever made in thriller category. Akshay has done brilliant stunts in this movie. The dialogues were incredible. This is a movie that you can watch with your family and get a message out of it too. I totally recommend you to watch this movie. It will impress you as much as Special 26 did. This movie will be a blockbuster. That's all i have to say!

This movie grabs the viewer from the get-go. There are cool action sequences, and terror plots and the good guy, played by Akshay Kumar, going after them, makes for a good cinematic adventure. Akshay Kumar again delivers a good movie and a great story. The name seems a little out of place at first but an explanation is soon given for it.

There are twists and turns and every time the viewer is forced to gasp at the near captures. The supporting cast was good, though Tapsee Pannu looked a little uncomfortable at first. Kay Kay Menon paints a good picture as the villain and looks formidable. The script is the star of the film. The twists are further accentuated by the background music. Thankfully, no unnecessary songs in the film. A little lengthy and could have been edited better. Some cliches and the inspiration from certain Hollywood spy movies are evident. Anupam Kher's wig looked garish.

Overall, a good movie. Anupam Kher and Akshay Kumar come together and create magic again. Deserves a watch.

Considering all the movies Akshay Kumar has worked on in the past few years, I think Baby turned out to be a way better movie than what I expected. There were some scenes where my reaction was like "what? why would you even do that?!" or "that's not even possible!!", but then there's Akshay Kumar for you and it is definitely entertaining. Anupam Kher also added some humor to the movie, being the amazing artist that he has always been. The manner in which they've shown how terrorists plot and plan their moves and how they maintain secrecy is actually very intriguing. I wouldn't say that the intense scenes in the movie were nail-biting, but Neeraj Pandey did squeeze in a few such scenes in the movie where you wonder what's coming next. Some of the explosions in the movie were animated and the quality of animation was terrible. For those 2-3 minutes, I did wish they had spent a little more money and time on getting the visualizations correct. However, overall, I enjoyed the movie and I think is good entertainment for a one-time-watch. I definitely recommend this movie.

Baby is Bollywood's answer to Argo!!!!!!!!! The entire plot has been amazingly crafted. The performance of the entire cast was amazing. Bollywood rarely produces movies nowadays that are watchable, and in between comes this gem of a movie. The first half of the movie is good. However the real plot comes into play in the second half. The last 45-50 minutes of the the movie were so engaging that I could not remove my eyes from the theater screen. And the biggest merit of the film is the fact that there are no songs in the movie, only background music is there.

Akshay Kumar has played a superb role. Its time that he should realize the fact that he looks really amazing doing films like holiday, baby and Special 26, and that he should stop doing mindless commercial movies. Danny and Anupam Kher are great at their roles. The action scenes are amazing, and cinematography is good. The best part of the movie is its direction. Neeraj Pandey has made two awesome movies earlier, and with this film he sets the standards even higher. Why cant Bollywood have more of Neeraj Pandeys and Hiranis and Anurag Kashyaps? Why cant Bollywood churn even two quality films every month?

Kudos to Neeraj Pandey, Akshay Kumar and co.....

BABY REVIEW- An epic thriller which deserves to be in Hollywood but Neeraj Pandey made it in Bollywood and raise Bollywood standard higher.i watched it with very high expectation and film completed all my expectation.last 30-35 Min's were inspired by Hollywood Oscar winner flick Argo.i am 90% satisfied with the movie and 10% disappointed because last scenes in Argo of interrogation on airport were nail-biting but Baby badly missed those scenes.performance wise Akshay Kumar proved that why he is my favorite after Srk and why he is the best for this role.if there would be an award for best actor in thriller category then he deserves it.remaining star cast were superb.Neeraj Pandey proves that he is king of thriller movies.another masterpiece after A Wednesday and Special 26.he proves why should we watch his movies with high expectations.i could have given 9 stars to the movie but as i already said climax were 10% disappointing.if Neeraj would have copied Argo climax then Baby would have been out of the world movie..so a must watch movie for all.here we have the 1st quality movie of 2015.

Yet another compact and seat binding flick from Neeraj Pandey's side accompanied with dedicated power packed and flawless performance by our action king Akshay Kumar.The pace is as per pandey's rhythm with a strong message and the climax is nail biting which will increase your heart beat and the blood pressure. Special 26 trio has again shown their magic with their awesome performance. The other supporting actors are also impressive and mind boggling. The fight scene between Tapsi and Sushant is worth a special watch and shows the level of action by Tapsi.Some scenes will tickle you while the dialogues will make you crazy. so a must watch Bollywood movie and eagerly waiting for the trio next project in future... Don't miss

Good Movie. Akshay Kumar and everybody acted very well in the movie. BGM and fight scenes in the movie was excellent. The movie had many interesting scenes and many thrilling investigation scenes in the 1st half. But in the 2nd half the movie bored a bit. The movie had many interesting and thrilling scenes. Heroine is not needed in the movie. Good Movie.

One of the best masterpieces of bollywood.The best in thriller.Story is amazing.Akshay Kumar bounds you with the film.Other actors also did well.Most important is its villain whose acting make you to hate him.

Rarely you come across an Indian movie that doesn't hit a single false note. BABY is one such film. Writer-Director Neeraj Pandey has made a brilliant film that is not only technically at par with the best in the world, but it's also a dispassionate non-judgmental take on terrorism that's completely devoid of jingoism and is extremely gripping. Full marks to Producer Bhushan Kumar for believing in such a landmark film, backed by exceptional marketing especially when it's devoid of songs. On the whole, BABY is one of the finest films ever made in the history of Indian cinema. Not only because of its excellent cinematic credentials but also because of the balanced 'Thought' behind the film. Neeraj Pandey once again proves that he's a genius. This time he proves, it's possible to better Perfection. We say, hey baby, don't think, just go for BABY. Cinema at its very best!

If the bad guys have to be punished and good people are trying to correct, catch, tame with the right approach. It approach is incorrect.. wrong approach for the wrong guys is the 'right approach'.

Instead of seeing this as an Entertainment movie, learning is needed to act with actions. So system needs to understand the practicality and implement solutions demonstrated in this movie with proper measures and support to eradicate bad guys from the world.. there is no end for such thoughts, these acts by the thoughts will keep originating and should be punished.

The movie is really good and actions are performed really good by Daring and really an actor Akshay Kumar !

Film BABY will keep you thrilled till the end of movie...Realistic action sequences....realistic plot....great storyline....I am really glad that India is progressing
