Story :
After 26/11 attacks, Indian government creates a top-secret counter-espionage team called Baby that is being led by Ajay Singh to thwart terror attacks. But does he foil the attacks and get succeeded over the bad boys enough is the crux of the story.
Analysis :
The movie stubbornly makes you forgot to breathe and our heart permanently stuck in our mouth in the climax. The director has narrated the movie extremely well through its duration of two and half plus hours. The way he tackled an extremely sensitive subject of terrorism filtering from Pakistan is simply laudable. The movie has edited so crisply with no unnecessary accessories.
Baby picks up only in the second half. The film shows you never-seen-before, picturesque Kathmandu and Saudi Arabia, as we go in search of Bilal Khan (Kay Kay Menon), an Indian Mujahideen top gun, who escaped from Mumbai in broad daylight and is planning an attack on Mumbai or Delhi. The cinematography is excellent and the first scene itself from Istanbul is praiseworthy. However, the background score of the movie could be better.
Performance :
As far as the performances are concerned Akshay rides the entire film on his mighty shoulders. He fits the role with ease while his death defying stunts are a delight, one fight scene between the female agent of the unit Priya (Taapsee Pannu) and Javed (Sushant Singh) is simply unforgettable. A professional woman is treated just the way she should be, in this one. Almost -perfect casting is another biggest asset to the movie. Actors like Anupam Kher, Rana Daggupati, Tapsee Pannu did their best in the movie. Especially the man mountain Rana Daggubati has a ‘towering’ screen presence that overshadows the hulk’s attempt to prove that he can act.
The Pakistani actor, Mikaal Zulfiqar (who plays Ashfaq), is not only pleasant to the eye but also evidently a competent actor. Neeraj Pandey definitely deserves the credit for the movie. Critics have praised the director and actors' performance. Even Bollywood celebrities have showered praises on the director and actors.
Neeraj Pandey once again proves that he's a genius.
Final Word: Baby is a must-watch film with rich content.
