Baby John Movie Reviews

Baby John, a Hindi remake of Theri, has received largely negative reviews from critics. While the film attempts to deliver mass entertainment, it is criticized for its excessive noise, lack of originality, and weak execution. NDTV calls it an overwrought and futile attempt, while The Hollywood Reporter India deems it “lewd, rude, and painfully crude.” Indian Express goes a step further, branding it one of the worst films of 2024. Rediff and Lensmen Reviews highlight how Varun Dhawan struggles to fit the larger-than-life role, while The Hindu acknowledges some mass appeal but points out the excessive action and forced drama.

Verdict:

Despite its big-scale action and commercial appeal, Baby John fails to deliver an engaging or fresh cinematic experience. Over-reliance on style over substance, loud execution, and weak performances make it a disappointing remake that lacks the charm of its original.
