REVIEW


They say its a lift from a holly flick and a marathi movie. I dont mind bcoz i have not seen either. Coming now to heyy baby, this delivery by Sajid Nadiadwala (as said by the promos) is again a good comedy after Partner. There are sequences that make u fall off the seat. Just as there used to be previously a relief comedy this film has relief tragedy which is as good and as eye moistening as any good film.


The movie is about 3 friends and their encounter with a baby - a girl whi makes them cry. Whose baby is it? well watch the movie for that.


As the film took off I was cursing Sajid Khan bcoz once i read that this was a film entire family could enjoy. But for the initial 15-20 minutes I thought that this one is gonna be cheaper than MASTI but pleasently not to be.


After the initial reel or so the film makes you giggle. The ANGEL is really cute. And the gags with Angel and her fathers are amazing. The pre interval portion appeals to the EQ as well. Some scenes manage to send goose mums to you. Ditto for the second half.


Well the films technicalities are competent. Good story to build on, decent dialouges, great pj's, and some chartbuster tracks!!! Direction needs a special mention. Sajids direction is really very mature.


Performance wise Akshaye, Ritiesh,Vidya, Boman and to spring in a surprise Fardeen are in great form. Their expressions are really amazing. Fardeen Khan needs a special mention about the Parimal episode. Anupam Kher is decent but has not much footage. SRK is a forgettable affair after Chak De India. But the film belongs to baby Angel.


On the whole the film is worth a watch. Not a masterpiece but a good entertainer. Thumbs up to both the Sajids.
