Reviews
Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Ganesh Salian Heyy Babyy is painful to watch.The story itself is a copy from Three Men and a Baby.The screenplay too is horribly penned.Even the dialogs are disgusting and offensive at times.It is like an ambitious project which has gone awfully awry.Direction by Sajid Khan is bad.The music is good.Performance-Akshay Kumar is very good.Ritesh Deshmukh is funny.Fardeen Khan is good too.Vidya Balan is bad.Boman Irani overacts.The baby irritates.Overall Heyy Babyy is bad.
Roland E. Zwick As if one were needed, "Heyy Babyy" is a two-hour-plus remake of the1987 hit "Three Men and a Baby" (which was itself an adaptation of a French film from 1985). This Bollywood production features three swinging bachelors from India who share a swanky apartment in a high class quarter of Sydney, Australia. One day they find an abandoned baby on their doorstep, along with a note declaring that one of the men - it's not stated which - is the girl's father. Naturally, this leads to all kinds of predictable slapstick hijinks as the three inept and bumbling playboys take on the new and challenging role of "fathers" to this adorable tyke.It's hard to convey just how grueling - nay, excruciating - an experience sitting through "Heyy Babyy" turns out to be. What with all the pratfalling and mugging and fast-motion photography, "Heyy Babyy" makes even the most inane Three Stooges short look like a Noel Coward play in comparison. Suffice it to say the script is unbelievably banal, the comic ideas antiquated and poorly executed, and the acting so cheesy and over-the-top that, after only a few minutes' exposure to this drivel, you'll be agreeing with the French as to the comic genius of Jerry Lewis.Yet, the only thing more insufferable than "Heyy Babyy" when it's in a playful mood is "Heyy Babyy" when it's being all high-minded and sanctimonious, cranking up the goo to almost unimaginable proportions, as this "angel sent from God" turns three self-indulgent and immature womanizers into hyper-sensitive and morally responsible young men - and the audience into a bunch of oohing and aahing sentimental slobs.So if your idea of a good time is religious symbolism mixed with poop jokes (and padded out to an unendurable length with endless musical numbers), by all means feel free to indulge yourself in all that "Heyy Babyy" has to offer in that regard. Otherwise, run for your life as far and as fast as you can the moment "Heyy Babyy" appears on a screen near you.
Ibuk Hey Babyy was a huge box office success and further established Akshay Kumar as a dependable actor(Namastey London, Bhagam Bhag, Bhool Bulainya were all massive hits). I only managed to catch this movie on TV a couple of months and it would be suffice to say I was very disappointed. I think most of the blame should fall on Sajid Khan, don't get me wrong I think he is hilarious in five minutes sketches but he can't make people laugh for three hours. The main problem is that Sajid Khan couldn't make up his mind whether he wanted to make Hey Babyy a comedy or a drama, which results in an uneasy mix of both. As a result of that the film fails on both counts, it doesn't make you laugh and it didn't me cry. Now onto the best aspect of Hey Babyy, the songs are tremendous, my favourites being Jaane bhi de and Mast Kalandar(which has a guest appearance by Shah Rukh Khan). Hey Babyy is an unfunny fare from an otherwise hilarious Sajid Khan.
HeadleyLamarr I watched 2/5 of the film and could not bear to finish it. No matter what Sajid would like to believe, until the moment Vidya arrives to take away her baby this is a complete ripoff of TMAAB. IMO that was a rather pathetic film with three talentless actors and this comes close in that sense too. Ritesh is the only one who even comes close to acting, Akki should go back to kung fu and being a stunt man, Fardeen is laughably pathetic. Even Vidya has nothing to bite into for a role, her costumes are atrocious and she has the most colorless role ever. Boman is doing a chimpanzee act. Granted the baby is cute and she acts the best of the lot as she is only required to smile (which she does endearingly well) or cry (which she excels at). The men making one off color joke after another, the horrible Aussie actresses, the endless clichés (baby dying, prayers being said, men breaking down in a most unbelievable manner, baby food and poop jokes) make this one of the worst films I have seen, but I have not seen Partner yet! A final word on the "guest appearances" by SRK and Anupam Kher - why did they bother to show up? They added nothing to the film and did nothing of note.My advice - if you want low brow comedy then watch TMAAB, for high brow stuff try Full Monty (which HB tried to ripoff too!), but this one is not worth the money.
