Heyy Baby : Movie Review

Got a lot of time and money to waste ?
Feel like everything in life is joyous and interesting ?
Go watch this movie.

People get fooled by the catchy title song (which is made even more catchy with a lot of colors on screen) and by an appearance by Shahrukh Khan. (I was foooled by these 2). Add to it, the 'baby' factor.

Of the two (rather 3) above mentioned factors, only the first one was good. I still dont understand why SRK wasted his time and energy into this movie. He might have given a max of 2 mins in the movie. And he has got nothing to do in these 2 mins. Just sing 3 lines, make some stupid expressions on face, and quit. Thats all.

The baby - naturally cute, but the director and editor made sure that the clips of the baby - smiling, blabbering, crying - shown on screen are totally out of context and badly edited.

The plot, I guess is lifted from hollywood. There is a similar storyline in a Malayalam movie. But for a change, this version of the movie was a hit.

What went wrong in the movie ? The casting itself is not correct. Akshay Kumar seemed totaly out of place. Riteish (hope all the e's and i's are properly put) Desmukh is the only actor who seemed to be comfortable. Fardeen Khan - eeeeks !

Vidya Balan ? For half the time allocated to her, she is seen smiling. The second half - she gets a traditional_Indian-to-modern_NRI make-over and paints this 'i_wont_smile' image onto her face. What can she do! This is what the director Sajid Khan told her to do...

Dubbing is lacklustre.
And at every point of time, you get a feeling that you are watching a movie.
There is minimal involvement that the audience manage to get out of this movie.

Some totally unwanted vulgar moments in the movie:
1. The nappy which has the baby's "potty" flies out of Riteish's hands and lands onto Akshay's face. Looked totally animated
2. The baby is sick with pneumonia. A doll is placed inside ICU, the camera is on the other side of the transparent glass. The doctor punches a syringe (to mobilise the heart?) directly into the baby's chest. Well, is there no other non-violent way of showing this on-screen?
3. No on-screen-chemistry between the so-called best friends. Untimely dialogues, interrupting the completion of the other person's lines..

Verdict : Dont Go !
(Must Watch/Average/Dont Go)
