Baby is one of the best thrillers Bollywood has come up with. It was Neeraj Pandey's third movie after "A Wednesday" and "Special 26" and it's difficult to choose which one was best. However, I have seen this movie tens of times and have never got bored of it. Story: An elite counter-terrorist unit of India is on a hunt for an international terrorist planning a series of attacks in India and in the process of doing that, they hit a goldmine (metaphorically) which changes everything they had planned for. While the time is running out, they don't just have to make sure they succeed in their mission but also maintain the covertness of their operation. Perfect recipe for a high adrenaline thriller. The story is written by Neeraj Pandey himself and full marks to him for that. Besides the plot, the screenplay is brilliant with no nonsense melodrama. Even though the movie is on patriotism and counter-terrorist activities, the violence is minimum and the writer focused a lot on planning and execution of the operation without making any noise about it - which is the heart of covert operations. Acting: The casting of the movie was near perfect. Akshay Kumar gave one of his best performances. His voice is perfectly suited for the role and he gave justice to that with his amazing dialog delivery. In addition, other actors like Danny Danzongpa, Anupam Kher, Kay Kay Menon were brilliant as usual. Kay Kay Menon, playing a role of a key terrorist who is brilliant with funds mobilization and planning, should have received a lengthier role, given his acting talent - largely due to his expressions and dialog delivery. I have always loved him watching on screen and he impresses a lot in Baby as well. Rana Daggubati had a crisp role to play and he did it with great panache. Tapsee Pannu's cameo was amazing and very inspiring. Rasheed Naz, with his role quite close to the international terrorist Hafeez Sayeed, did well enough. Direction: Neeraj Pandey had built a reputation from his earlier movies and he didn't disappoint at all in "Baby" as well. It's very difficult to make 2.5hrs+ thriller but Neeraj Pandey makes it like a BOSS. Crisp dialogs, well-written script, brilliantly conceptualized sequences, moderated action and tremendous focus on keeping the story in motion worked well for Neeraj Pandey - something which is the signature of his movies. While Akshay Kumar is the central character, he made sure all other characters receive its due justice too. Overall: Overall, the movie is one of the MUST WATCH movies if you are interested in high-quality thrillers. You must also watch "Special 26" and "A Wednesday" from Neeraj Pandey.

Yes..... you see good ratings of any movie, it gets you excited to watch it. This is what happened to me and guess what, am extremely disappointed that I wasted 3 hours of my precious time.Its a typical Indian crap movie just showing random points and baseless actions, spreading sheer hate. Its hilarious when you try to copy big guns but actually you don't have the resources and guts to face out the real world realities. Totally biased story-line, below average Plot, and lousy action.Not Recommended !!!

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 !

I don't understand, how this movie, at the moment, has a rating of 8.4! This was one of the worst movies I've seen in my life. The story itself is nothing special, but also not too bad. Lets give the story 4-5 stars. That's all good about the movie.The sound is terrible. - sometimes they do slow mo in scenes which shouldn't be in slow mo (it doesn't match) - sometimes they do a fast forward, when they are driving (it makes the movie looking like a b movie from the 90's - When they want to show you how scared they are and want to put their breathing sound in to make some atmosphere, you can clearly hear, that they make breathing sounds straight in the microphone. Totally a-sync as well. - some shootings you can clearly see, that the guns are not fired. - fighting scenes you always see, that they do not hit the other guy. Best was the elbow drop of the woman in the hotel....the elbow was like 25cm away of his face ...but she still knocked him out. - the explosions in the movie are not real...made with computer and you can clearly see this. - when they try to get the prisoner out of the bus, the accident and action scenes are so bad, I could do myself better. - when he shoots the guy in the desert resort, you can clearly see the blood pack....just bad. - when they go in and out of the resort, they try to make it look cool and special how they walk. The jump from 1 meter high sand dunes and act like its a jump from a skyscraper... (for what??) - in the dunes, you can clearly see thousands of foot steps from camera team and movie staff - the movie has many logical mistakes...small ones...but terrible.I could go on for hours. but I wasted so much time on this movie already.This movie must have faked ratings. It is definitely a bad movie.
