‘Baby’ movie review: Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya star in an exceptionally long, silly romantic feature

Helmed by sai rajesh, anand deverakonda’s latest reads like a moral story with the protagonist actually spelling out the moral three-fourths into the movie.

July 14, 2023 05:39 pm | Updated 07:12 pm IST

A still from ‘Baby’

A still from ‘Baby’

While that was two hours and 45 minutes of my life I will never get back, Baby , unlike most of its contemporaries inches towards being tonally neutral and sensitive when it comes to portraying its female characters.

Anand (Anand Deverakonda) and Vaishnavi (Vaishnavi Chaitanya) are neighbours and high-school sweethearts who grow up in a basti experiencing a meagre way of life. Vaishnavi’s parents are eager to see her make it out of poverty and encourage her to enrol in an engineering college in the city. Meanwhile, Anand stays back and chooses to make a living as an auto driver. 

Baby (Telugu)

Vaishnavi takes to the charms of the city quite quickly and attempts to work her way up the social hierarchy, with the help of a few friends who encourage her to alter her appearance by whitening her skin, wearing branded clothes and dying her hair. This new lifestyle throws a wrench in her love life as Anand is convinced that Vaishnavi is not being true to herself, and in the heat of the moment calls her names. 

At the same time, Vaishnavi is introduced to Viraj (Viraj Ashwin), the college heartthrob who does not shy away from flashing his expensive cars for clout. Their friendship quickly turns tumultuous when Viraj professes his love for her. 

The next one-hour 40-odd minutes of the movie is spent in Vaishnavi trying to manage the weird love triangle she has brought to life with her choices. The critique of greed and materialism that the film tried to build in the first half goes for a toss with a messy sexual agreement between two characters, an unintentionally funny confrontation by the trio, a failed suicide attempt, and the death of a parent. The sequence of the events ends up working as a catalyst for the audience to lose interest in the characters, and their emotions and aspirations; the length of the movie does not help.

However, it is endearing to watch flawed characters on screen that are not siloed into good or bad.

Vaishnavi Chaitanya does the heavy lifting for most of the film and convinces the audience to root for her even during her missteps, but Anand Deverakonda falters while playing the miserable lover. The supporting characters are not given their due as their behaviour tends to arbitrarily change to the whims of the director to advance the narrative.

Eventually, Baby runs like a moral story with the protagonist actually spelling out the moral three-fourths into the movie.

Baby Movie Review: A Morally Ambiguous Drama That Thrives In The Flaws Of Its Characters

Director: Sai Rajesh

Cast: Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, Viraj Ashwin

Mild spoilers ahead...

It's quite easy to write off  Baby  as a shallow, biased drama punctuated with the male gaze early on. And the film does lend itself to such scrutiny in the early portions. Take, for instance, the scene where Anand ( Anand Deverakonda ) lashes out at his school sweetheart Vaishnavi ( Vaishnavi Chaitanya ) when she expresses her desire to join her new college friends for a ladies' night in a pub. This confrontation, the first one between the couple, occurs right after Vaishnavi undergoes a physical make-over from being a modest, dark-skinned b asti  (slum) girl to a sophisticated, urban lady, encouraged by her equally posh and rich friends at her engineering college. 

An agitated Anand, who clearly reprimands Vaishnavi's wish, citing that her friends are a bad influence, almost threatens to slap her with his shoe. In this situation, he doesn't even try to understand her perspective, which is coming from a place of excitement to explore a world and experiences she hasn't been privy to over the years. Now, it's easy to label Anand a control freak for being so indifferent to her wishes, although he believes that his momentary anger is purely a reflection of his concern for the love of his life. But where  Baby  actually undoes its mistake of letting Anand's toxic traits pass off as care--even though he apologises for it--is by making Vaishnavi address his entitlement and controlling nature later in the film.

If you feel something's problematic in  Baby , it's likely that the film will address it through a character. This allows the film to undo a lot of choices that might come across as inappropriate early on in the film. And yes, there's a lot of inappropriate stuff on display because the characters themselves are flawed and toxic.

The three main characters, Anand, Vaishnavi, and Viraj, are imperfect beings driven by mad love with their every mistake, regardless of how good their intention might be, making the plot thicker and murkier. Although the early, sweet school sequence that tracks the origins of Anand and Vaishnavi's love story makes you wish the couple gets a 'happily ever after' ending, even though you know it's not going to be an easy road, the film makes it particularly hard to pick a side. The beauty of  Baby  is that nothing exists in simple black and white, everything is grey. Be it Anand, Vaishnavi, or Viraj, Sai Rajesh's writing lets you see through their personalities. We know that Anand is a control freak, but we also know that he cares for Vaishnavi. We are also aware that Vaishnav loves gifts, cars, and the 'rich' stuff. Anand seeking physical intimacy, a 'kiss' from Vaishnavi, is a recurring point in the film, but when Vaishnavi agrees to it (you have to check out the film to know why she agrees), he steps back because he believes she is too innocent to be intimate with him. This might be played for laughs in the film, to juxtapose his 'character' with Vaishnavi's, but you see this man's intent. He's the same guy who assassinated her character and broke her heart by spewing some of the nastiest things earlier. You see,  Baby  urges that people, at least its main characters, can be many things and doesn't compartmentalise them morally.

Likewise, Vaishnavi, who is central to the film, is forced to make many difficult choices in the film that affect Anand, her childhood sweetheart Anand and the college hunk Viraj, who comes across as an underwritten but interesting character nevertheless. While it begins as a familiar love triangle, the whole Viraj-Vaishnavi angle is dealt with in a super interesting way that never judges Vaishnavi. She keeps asserting that she would like to keep their relationship purely platonic while he relentlessly keeps pursuing her romantically. Viraj eventually puts Vaishnavi in a spot where she has to do something so 'unfaithful' against her wish; he does it by threatening her, meaning that he is not a 'good' person. But later on, we see Viraj pining for Vaishnavi, even after causing her great sorrow and turning her life upside down. That's only the tip of the iceberg.

The interpersonal dynamics in this film are super tricky, rendering the screenplay feel convoluted at times. But it is precisely this inconsistency, which is an extension of the volatile, mercurial characters, that makes  Baby  what it is. But I wish the writing gave Viraj the same depth it gave to Anand and Vaishnavi. His actions lack a motive and feel forced, although their consequences are registered strongly. Similarly, the characters of Baby are always subject to change, and trust me, the graph of these characters and the scenarios that precipitate a change in their arcs and the story justify its 177-minute-long runtime, although the plainness of the first half argues otherwise.

There are some brilliant writing choices here. It   is a film of echoes. One narrative-defining incident takes place on Viraj's birthday, while another one happens on Anand's birthday. A knife draws parallels between Viraj and Anand at a point when they are consumed by rage and despair. Anand's words about the value he gives to Vaishnavi are echoed by Viraj when he proposes to her. An iPhone, too, becomes a tool to demarcate Viraj and Anand from Vaishnavi's perspective. Anand, a Trivikram fan, keeps framing rhythmic dialogues to express his love for Vaishnavi throughout the film, but his best expression comes when he is utterly shattered.

Moral ambiguity, however, is a trait reserved only for the leads. The weakest and the most annoying writing choice has to be the presence of an external antagonist named Sita a caricaturish representation of a spoilt girl. She just exists as a personification of a bad influence on Vaishnavi in college. While we understand that the leads, despite their glaring flaws, are doing some problematic things for the sake of love, Sita's actions and existence are so one-dimensional that the writing becomes painfully bland whenever she is used to incite or accelerate a conflict. And she is used only for either of these. The play featuring just the main trio is so solid that the inclusion of an external antagonist only deters the intricacy of the drama.

Moreover, I wish the film had better staging because its emphasis on dialogue makes most of the scenes, from a visual standpoint, look purely functional. I understand that Baby is a conversational drama, but better staging would have exalted Baby to the next level. A scene featuring Anand and Viraj in an auto in the pre-climax is perhaps the only scene in the film that makes effective usage of staging. The rest of the film will work equally well even as an audiobook because the entire focus is on conversations.

Speaking of the movie-viewing experience  Baby  offers, Vijay Bulganin is undoubtedly the strongest pillar of  Baby,  and his music accentuates the drama wonderfully. While  'O Rendu Prema Meghalila'  is the soul of the film, breathing life into even tiny moments, the 'Premisthunna' song sequence, ascribed to the innate drama in it, might just be one of the most discomforting sequences in a long time.  Baby  does get into some dark spaces.

Another significant quality of  Baby  is how it treats its characters like simple human beings for whom concepts like first love, sex, and moving on are a big deal. If anything,  Baby  is an antithesis to the idea of moving on. A completely dejected Anand admits that he is a simple auto driver, and this is how his thought process is. His monologue at the end of the film, in a way, invalidates our insistence on a more progressive story because  Baby  makes it a point to establish that it's telling the story of simple, flawed people who are not necessarily acquainted with the progressive ideas that many discuss on Twitter. And problematising their personalities, especially Anand's, ain't going to serve the cause because  Baby  acknowledges the characters' issues; whether you sympathise with them or not might is a subjective choice. Like with every film, your response to  Baby  is going to be heavily dependent on your worldview and personal experience. With  Baby , these factors might matter a little bit more while evaluating it because such is the nature of the story. And that's exactly why  Baby  earns the title of being the most interesting, ambiguous, and debatable Telugu film of the year so far.

Baby is a film that has earned a good buzz due to its chartbuster songs. Directed by Sai Rajesh, the film stars Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, and Viraj Ashwin in the lead roles. The movie hit the screens today, and let’s see how it is.

Vaishnavi (Vaishnavi Chaitanya) and Anand (Anand Deverakonda), hailing from a slum, are high school lovebirds. Anand fails to make it to the college and becomes an auto driver, whereas Vaishnavi joins the college. Vaishnavi undergoes a massive transformation, and this is also the time she gets close to Viraj (Viraj Ashwin). Slowly problems start developing between Vaishnavi and Anand. An unexpected incident takes place, which changes the lives of Viraj, Anand, and Vaishnavi as a whole. What happened next? How did the incident affect the three? This forms part of the crux of the story.

Plus Points:

Baby is a take on modern-day relationships, and director Sai Rajesh sheds light on the chosen topic through three beautifully written characters which are diverse in their own way. By the end of the film, one would end up liking all the three lead characters due to the effective writing. The scene where Viraj and Anand meet for the first time is the biggest highlight.

The movie has a pretty good second half with a right blend of drama, emotions, and intense moments. Baby became even more captivating thanks to the wonderful dialogues that will strike a chord with the target audiences. There are a good amount of whistle-worthy moments, and youth can relate themselves to many scenes. A few scenes are intentionally placed to impress the youngsters, and they land up well.

Anand Deverakonda amazes big time with his stupendous performance. We get to see the actor in Anand through Baby, and his full potential has been tapped by the director. It is a bit challenging role, especially for a budding artist, but Anand killed it with his earnest performance.

Vaishnavi Chaitanya is a revelation in this romantic drama, and the young actress’s performance speaks volumes about her talent. Her character arc has been designed quite well. Vaishnavi performed pretty good in the emotional scenes too. Her phone call scene with Anand Deverakonda was terrific. Viraj Ashwin gets a solid role, and he performs to the tee. This is perhaps the best role done by Viraj so far, and he aced it to perfection.

When romantic dramas get a good album, the result is Baby. Every song composed by music composer Vijay Bulganin is too good, and also the effective background score enhances the impact in many sequences.

Minus Points:

The movie is quite lengthy, as it has a runtime of close to three hours. The makers could have trimmed down a few sequences, especially in the first half, for a better experience. The contemporary nature of the film might not go well with a few.

The first hour is slow paced, and the movie gets more interesting from the pre-interval portions. Though there are good moments and dialogues, they are few and far between. The pacing reduces the impact to an extent. At times, the first half gives us a feeling that it is a bit stretched.

Technical Aspects:

As mentioned earlier, music by Vijay is a major asset for Baby, which takes the film to the next level altogether. The cinematography by Balreddy is exquisite, and the visuals are easy on the eye. Particularly the songs are shot in an aesthetic manner. The editing is sloppy in the first half, but it is alright in the latter hour. The production values are first-rate.

Coming to the writer and director, Sai Rajesh, he did an impressive job with Baby. While the first hour was not that great, he makes it up with a very good second half that is a concoction of intense emotional sequences and solid dialogues. Sai Rajesh extracted the best out of his actors, and he used the music perfectly. His dialogues are fantastic and have inner depth. Had the first half been a bit racier, the movie’s range would have enhanced further.

On the whole, Baby sheds light on modern-day relationships in a neat manner, and the climax is unconventional. The performances of Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, and Viraj Ashwin are simply superb. The second half has its heart in the right place, but the impact gets slightly reduced due to the slow-paced first half, which could have been still better. Also, the makers could have taken care of lengthy runtime. Nonetheless, Baby is a good watch this weekend. Go for it.

Baby (2023) Movie: What's Behind

Anand Devarakonda is making rapid strides in the industry with his feel-good youthful entertainers. His upcoming film Baby starring Vaishnavi Chaitanya under Sai Rajesh's direction is attracting the attention of Genex movie lovers with the youthful teaser and trailer. The film's OTT deal is yet to be inked and the streaming will be done after the end of its theatrical run. Let us see whether Baby made movie lovers fall in love or not.

Baby Telugu Movie: Story Review

Baby story is all about a young girl and the happens in her life eversince she experiences love. Where her love journey leads to interesting developments in her life. Vaishu aka Vaishnavi (Vaishnavi Chaitanya) since childhood is deeply in love with Anand (Vijay Devarakonda) and even he reciprocates. Vaishu joins engineering while Anand who couldn't clear X, earn his livelihood plying an auto. How Vaishu reacts when she meets Viraj (Viraj Ashwin) and where this leads to form the rest of the story.

Baby Movie: Artists Review

Anand Devarakonda lived in the role of a young auto driver. He performed the role well as an innocent and sincere lover who goes to any extent to keep his lady love happy. He looked innocent while expressing his love and showed good emotional outbursts when he comes to know about the dark secrets of his lover. His body language, dialogue delivery, and expressions are natural and realistic. However at times, seeing him on screen, one gets a feeling that he is imitating his brother Vijay Devarakonda while trying to show more powerful emotions and intensity. He showed good feelings as a protective and possessive lover.

Vaishnavi Chaitanya steals the hearts of all with her intense and impactful performance. Vaishnavi Chaitanya's expressions and emotions while showing variations in her character are top-class. She did full justice to her role and carried the film on her shoulders as the entire film revolved around her. She not only delivered bold and powerful dialogues but also looked ultra glamorous. She also did intimate and kissing scenes with ease. Her scenes with Anand Devarakonda and Viraj Ashwin came out pretty well.

Viraj Ashwin looked stylish and handsome in the role of a rich and affluent student. He came up with good performance and at times dominated the lead pair. He also elevated the scenes with his expressions and emotions. The scenes featuring him, Anand Devarakonda, and Vaishnavi Chaitanya are good.

Naga Babu who played the role of Vaishnavi's father got an inconsequential role with just two dialogues. Others like Lirisha, Kusuma Degalamarri, Sathvik Anand, Babloo, Seetha, Mounika, and Keerthana performed accordingly.

Baby Movie: Technicians Review

Baby story readied by Sai Rajesh is a youthful romantic entertainer with an interesting twist. Sai Rajesh seems to have drawn inspiration from the real-life happenings in the Genex love stories and came up with the hard-hitting love story. He started the narration in a simple manner showing the blossoming of love between the lead pair Anand and Vaishnavi. Then Viraj is introduced and as the story progresses in a routine predictable and slow pace, the first half assumes the routine shades. However, the way the scenes between Aand and Vaishhavi are shown on the screen, maintained the curiosity feel among movie lovers intact.

The introduction of Viraj and the happenings between Viraj and Vaishnavi liven up the proceedings. The first half ends with a decent interval twist setting the tone for the second half. The real story starts in the second half and emotions reach the next level as the story progresses. The powerful dialogues and screenplay and script keep viewers glued to the screen. Sai Rajesh got the optimum performances from Anand, Viraj, and Vaishnavi and this elevated the emotions taking the film to another level.

The dialogues though bold, made a stunning impact. Sai Rajesh's story may be routine but he made it up for it with intense and powerful screenplay and impactful scenes. The pre-climax increases interest and the climax at times was dragged and finally it ends in an interesting manner.

Bal Reddy's cinematography is colorful. He beautified the film with his camera angles. The editing of Viplav Nyshadham is ok but could have been far better as there are many dags in the film which slowed the pace of the film. Production values of Mass Movie Makers are good.

Baby Movie: Advantages

  • Vaishnavi Chaitanya, Anand Devarakonda
  • Bold Dialogues
  • Interval Block
  • Cinematography

Baby Movie: Disadvantages

  • Few Unconvincing Scenes
  • Lengthy Screenplay
  • Rushed Climax

Baby Movie: Rating Analysis

Altogether, Baby is a hard-hitting Genex love story. Sai Rajesh who penned the story highlighted how current generation youngsters view love in such a shallow perspective. Sai Rajesh got impactful performances from Anand Devarakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, and Viraj Ashwin, and the bold scenes and dialogues, connect chords with the current generation of youngsters. With an interesting story, screenplay, and direction, Sai Rajesh drove home the point of the way love is viewed by the majority of youngsters and how young girls and guys are falling prey to it. A powerful message to the Genex youngsters cautioning about love hits them hard in their hearts. Considering all these points, Cinejosh goes with a 3 Rating for Baby .

Baby Movie review

2 Hr 28 Mins   |   Love   |   14-07-2023

Cast - Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, Viraj Ashwin, Naga Babu and others

Director - Sai Rajesh

Producer - SKN

Banner - Mass Movie Makers

Music - Vijay Bulganin

Anand Deverakonda, the younger brother of Vijay Deverakonda, returns with Baby where he collaborated with Colour Photo writer-producer Sai Razesh. Anand isn’t successful yet like his brother. So, Anand is in search of success and cementing his position. Baby looks promising for him. Thanks to its musical-hit songs and good round of promotions, the film garnered good buzz. Will Anand and the makers succeed with Baby? Let’s find out.

Hailing from the same basti, Anand and Vaishnavi are childhood sweethearts who go to the same school. Vaishnavi loves Anand madly and he too falls for her. After school, Anand becomes an auto-driver and Vaishnavi joins engineering college where she enters a new world. She gets new friends and she meets a good-looking rich guy named Viraj. What happens when situations create a gap between Anand and Vaishnavi? The rest of the story is how Vaishnavi deals with Anand and Viraj.

Performances

Anand Deverakonda is alright as the protagonist who loves his girl unconditionally. His character goes through a lot of emotions. There are moments where Anand reminds us of brother Vijay Deverakonda, particularly the dialogue, ‘Na Pilla Bey’ which became popular with Vijay’s Arjun Reddy. Anand is still evolving as an actor.

Vaishnavi Chaitanya is the show-stealer. She carries off the film single-handedly from the start to end. As a Basti girl and as a modern girl, Vaishnavi shows she’s the best of both the worlds. She is a perfect cast for the role and she won the hearts. Kudos to the makers for their gutsy decision to rope in her for the role.

Viraj Ashwin is decent. His character lacks consistency. It is also not clear what exactly he wants and whether he loves Vaishnavi sincerely or not. Naga Babu’s role has no significance in the first beginning, but as the film progresses, his character gains weight in the story. Anand’s bonding with his own mother was irritating initially, whereas it tries to stir emotion towards the end. All the friends of the lead actors do a decent performance. Viva Harsha’s role has importance as the character reveals a crucial twist of the film.

Technicalities

On the surface, Baby has a very thin point. This becomes challenging in writing and narrating. Story requires more depth which is lacking. Yet, director Sai Rajesh scored points with his craft. Visuals and music make the film appeal. Music composer Vijay Bulganin is the winner as he delivered nice songs and a compelling background score. Two songs in the film are good. The film has slow narration. Editing is fine, but the film needed more crispness.

Vaishnavi Contemporary Concept Songs & Background Score

Thumbs Down

Thin Story Slow-paced Narration Improper Message

Baby is all about Vaishnavi and her life involving two guys – one childhood lover Anand and other college friend Viraj. How Vaishnavi tackles both forms the crux of the story. The film begins by showing Anand devastated and seen in a regretful mood. This raises curiosity and the story quickly takes us into the past. Director doesn’t waste much time in taking audiences into the story. The mood is set right and all the characters are well-established. The film just revolves around the lead characters. The scenes of phone, gifts and shopping, pub scenes connect to youth. The film is aimed for college-goers and youth who connect to the film. There are scenes which many guys relate to. The references about Pawan Kalyan, Trivikram Srinivas bring cheers to fans.

The success of Baby lies with the choosing Vaishnavi as the film’s heroine. It is her show completely. How she slipped into situations and how she tries her best to cover-up her mistakes but ends up making bigger mistakes that make for an engaging watch. The makers choose the topic that is very much relevant to the present generation and relatable to youths.

Vaishnavi is portrayed as a smart girl who doesn’t pay heed to parents or her love Anand. But she falls prey to a college ‘friend’ Sita who misguides her. This portion is alright. The transformation of Vaishnavi isn’t completely convincing. She puffs hookah, cigarette, gulps alcohol shots without much hesitation. Here the director tells us that Vaishnavi, a basti girl, attempts to change the way she looks and is perceived by others around her. This sets the tone for the film. The first half is engaging.

There are cuss words liberally used. Whilst these cuss words are muted, censored in India, they are used as it is in the US and overseas content. The latter-half has bold content as well. Director Sai Rajesh has handled some scenes with a lot of maturity which is laudable. But some scenes are dragged beyond the point.

Baby has a core problem. Writer-director Sai Rajesh tries to strike a fine balance. He tries to portray that everyone is good, but it is just situations that make one change and transform resulting in cheating. He tries to justify the wrongdoings too. But he fails to create enough sympathy or hatred for the principal characters. Unlike Arjun Reddy or 7/G Brindavan Colony or RX 100, Baby doesn’t hit hard or convey straight to the point. In fact, it just oscillates and beats around the bush.

The film deals with the new-age concept of a girl falling for attractions and end-up cheating an honest lover.

During an important scene, Vaishnavi wears Anand’s saree on his birthday and goes in his auto. The writing here is superior. In another scene in auto in the pre-climax where all the three lead characters encounter one another. This is well conceived. The climax is dragged and stretched beyond a point. And the end may not be convincing for many. The message of the film is not clear.

There is enough scope for humour. But the director stays true to the honesty. It has an intense love story. The film goes on at a serious tempo at max, till the end. To sum up, Baby is ambitious and as an idea it was good. Whereas, it suffers in its narration. The first half works and the second-half has bold moments. It manages to hold interest as it progresses. The film neither leaves you completely satisfied nor it disappoints. It just strikes midway between both.

Despite all its shortcomings, the film caters to youth with relevant scenes. Thanks to good buzz owing to hit songs and promotions, Baby got a good opening. We have to see how the movie is received in the coming days.

Verdict: Bold Baby !

Rating: 2.5/5

Movie Baby
Star Cast Anand Deverakonda, Viraj Ashwin, Vaishnavi Chaithanya
Director Sai Rajesh
Producer SKN
Music Vijay Bulganin
Run Time 2h 51m
Release 14 Jul, 2023

Anand Deverakonda teamed up with director Sai Rajesh for the film Baby, which was released today. The film features Vaishnavi Chaitanya as the leading lady, and Viraj Ashwin in a key role. The trailer of the film was released recently, and gained a massive response from the audience, increasing the expectations on the film, which has been released today. Let’s see how the film has turned out to be.

Anand and Vaishnavi are in love since class 10, and everything seems fine until Vaishnavi gets into a top college in the city. There, she befriends rich people and meets Viraj, a rich guy, who falls in love with Vaishnavi. One night, Anand and Vaishnavi get into a huge fight with each other, which changes their lives forever. What is this fight, how does it change their lives and what happens in the end forms the rest of the story.

On-Screen Performances:

Anand Deverakonda has improved tremendously as an actor and brings out every emotion of his character quite well. He is good in emotional scenes and strikes all the right chords. The pain and heartbreak that he exhibits during the pre-climax portion of the film is touching and makes everyone feel for him.

Vaishnavi Chaitanya gives a spectacular performance. She lives her character, and perfectly displays the various emotions and phases of her character. The kind of depth she brings to her character and her actions is especially impressive. She has a substantial role in the film, with the entire story revolving around her, and she doesn’t disappoint a bit.

Viraj Ashwin is good in his character and does well with what he is given. He looks quite good too, and while his performance is good, he could have been slightly better in emotional scenes.

The supporting cast of the movie is also good, but Nagendra Babu and Viva Harsha could have been utilized much better, as it looks like they’ve been underutilized.

Off-Screen Talents:

Director Sai Rajesh has come up with a very heart-touching story, which is heartbreaking at the same time. It is a story that is very much contemporary and has elements that are very close to the ones that we see or hear of in real life. He has come up with a highly entertaining and relatable first half, and ended the first half with a banger of an interval, upping the ante for the second half. While the second half of the film starts off fine, the pacing of the second half is all over the place, with many scenes dragging out unnecessarily. Viraj Ashwin’s character arc is not properly sketched and is abandoned abruptly, with no proper closure. The climax of the film, while extremely painful and emotional, may not resonate with all, and is something that the audiences may not be able to take, which is in contrast to the remaining film, which managed to entertain the audience until then. Apart from that, the director should have taken more care when it came to the direction he took regarding the story in the second half, as it feels all over the place and unnecessarily stretched.

The background score and music by Vijai Bulganin are extremely good, and perfectly assist the story telling process. Because of the background score, which is exceptional, certain scenes provide a lot more depth, and are much more enjoyable. The cinematography is good as well.

The production values are rich, but the editing could have been slightly better, especially with the pacing of the second half.

Plus Points:

  • Lead cast performances
  • Background score and music
  • Relatable story and characters

Minus Points:

  • Lag in second half

Verdict: Baby tells a story that is very close to real life, which makes it worthwhile and highly relatable. However, it’s lagging second half is a minus point. Nevertheless, it is a movie that can be watched once.

Telguubulletin.com Rating: 2.75/5

The music is composed by Vijay Buliganin, while M N Balreddy handles the cinematography and Viplav Nyashadam edits the film.

First Half Report: 

The film’s first half ends with a banger, setting up an exciting second half. Baby is racy and interesting in the first half, making the second half very anticipatory

Final Report:

Second half slows down a bit when compared to the first half. It is high on emotions and has a hard hitting message to convey that depicts contemporary relationships. Movie’s range depends on how general public receives the climax

కల్ట్ సినిమా తీయాలంటే బూతులు పెట్టాల్సిందేనా? 2-3 శృంగార సన్నివేశాలు జోడించాల్సిందేనా? అలా తీస్తే అది కల్ట్ సినిమా అయిపోద్దా? ఇప్పటితరానికి నచ్చుతుందని అదే పనిగా బూతులు, అడల్ట్ సీన్స్ పెడితే సినిమాకు కల్ట్ స్టేటస్ వచ్చేస్తుందా? ఇన్నిసార్లు కల్ట్ అనే పదాన్ని ఎందుకు వాడామంటే, ఈ సినిమా ప్రమోషన్స్ లో మేకర్స్ అంతకంటే ఎక్కువసార్లు ఈ పదాన్ని ఉపయోగించారు కాబట్టి. పైగా నిర్మాత ఎస్కేఎన్ తొడకొట్టి మరీ కల్ట్ బొమ్మ అని చెప్పుకున్నాడు కాబట్టి. అయితే వాళ్లంతా చెప్పినట్టు ఇది కల్ట్ సినిమా కాదు. నిజంగానే కల్ట్ సినిమాలుగా నిలిచిన కొన్ని పాత తమిళ-తెలుగు సినిమాలకు, హైటెక్ హంగులు జోడించి తీసిన సినిమా ఇది. 

వైష్ణవి (వైష్ణవి చైతన్య) హైస్కూల్ నుంచి ఆనంద్ (ఆనంద్ దేవరకొండ)ని ప్రేమిస్తుంది. వైష్ణవి ఇంజినీరింగ్ కాలేజీలో చేరగా, టెన్త్ ఫెయిలైన ఆనంద్ కాలక్రమేణా ఆటో డ్రైవర్‌గా మారుతాడు. కాలేజీలో రిచ్ కిడ్ విరాజ్ (విరాజ్ అశ్విన్), వైష్ణవిని ప్రేమించి ఆమెకు ప్రపోజ్ చేస్తాడు. వైష్ణవి, విరాజ్ కు ఎట్రాక్ట్ అవుతుంది, అదే టైమ్ లో ఆనంద్‌ పట్ల ప్రేమగా కూడా ఉంటుంది. అయితే పరిస్థితుల ప్రభావం వల్ల విరాజ్ ముద్దు ప్రతిపాదనను వైష్ణవి అంగీకరిస్తుంది. అది ఆమెను ఎలాంటి ఇబ్బందుల్లోకి నెట్టింది. వైష్ణవి జీవితం ఎలా మారిపోయింది? విరాజ్ ఏమయ్యాడు? చివరికి ఆనంద్ ప్రేమలో గెలిచాడా లేదా అనేది ఈ బేబి కథ.

హృదయ కాలేయం, కొబ్బరి మట్ట లాంటి కామెడీ స్పూఫ్ లు తీసిన సాయిరాజేష్, ఈసారి ఎలాగైనా ఓ కల్ట్ ప్రేమకథ తీయాలని కంకణం కట్టుకొని ఈ సినిమా కథ-స్క్రీన్ ప్లే రాసుకున్నట్టున్నాడు. అయితే అతడి ఆలోచన విధానం సరిగ్గా లేదు. పబ్ కల్చర్, సిగరెట్లు, మద్యం లాంటి పోకడల్లో చిక్కుకొని, యువత తమ జీవితాల్ని నాశనం చేసుకోకూడదనే సందేశాన్ని ఈ సినిమాలో ఇచ్చాడు. అయితే అలా సందేశం ఇవ్వడం కోసం సాయిరాజేశ్, చాలా అసభ్యకరమైన దారిని ఎంచుకున్నాడు. సందేశం మాట అటుంచి, ఆ అసభ్యతకు యువత మరింత కనెక్ట్ అయ్యేలా ఉంది ఈ బేబి. 

నిజజీవితానికి దగ్గరగా ఉండే పాత్రలను తీసుకొని, వాటితో భావోద్వేగాల్ని పండించాలనుకున్నాడు దర్శకుడు. ఈ క్రమంలో అతడు కొన్ని సన్నివేశాలు బాగానే రాసుకున్నాడు కానీ, పాత్రల చిత్రణ, వాటి ప్రవర్తనపై పూర్తిస్థాయిలో దృష్టిపెట్టినట్టు కనిపించలేదు. దీంతో తెరపై కొన్ని సందర్భాల్లో ఓ రకమైన గందరగోళం, అనిశ్చితి కనిపించింది. 

దీనికి బెస్ట్ ఎగ్జాంపుల్ కీలకమైన హీరోయిన్ పాత్ర. ప్రారంభంలో పక్కింటి అమ్మాయిగా కనిపించిన ఈ పాత్ర, క్రమంగా అర్బన్ అమ్మాయిగా మారిపోతుంది. మొదట చూసిన పాత్ర స్వభావానికి పూర్తి విరుద్ధంగా మారిపోతుంది. నిజజీవితంలో అమ్మాయిలు ఇంతలా మారిపోతారా అనే ఆశ్చర్యాన్ని పక్కనపెడితే.. ఆమెపై ప్రేక్షకుల్లో సానుభూతి కలగాలనేది దర్శకుడి ఆలోచన. 'అయ్యో… ఎలాంటి అమ్మాయి ఇలా అయిపోయిందేంటి' అనే ఫీలింగ్ కలిగించాలని అనుకున్నాడు. కానీ ఆచరణకు వచ్చేసరికి ఆ పాత్రపై ప్రేక్షకుల్లో సానుభూతి బదులు వ్యతిరేకత ఏర్పడుతుంది. తన కొత్త స్నేహితులతో హీరోయిన్ ఎన్నో పనులు చేస్తుంది. కొన్ని సందర్భాల్లో హద్దులు దాటుతుంది. ఇంత చేసిన అమ్మాయికి డేటింగ్ అంటే ఏంటో తెలియకపోవడం ఆశ్చర్యం కలిగిస్తుంది, క్యారెక్టర్ లో కన్ఫ్యూజన్ కు దారితీస్తుంది. 

కేవలం హీరోయిన్ పాత్రలోనే కాదు, మెయిన్ లీడ్ క్యారెక్టరైజేషన్ లో కూడా ఇదే కన్ఫ్యూజన్ క్రియేట్ చేశాడు దర్శకుడు. కొన్నిసార్లు ఆదర్శవంతగా, మరికొన్ని సందర్భాల్లో స్లమ్ డాగ్ గా చూపించి సింపతీ క్రియేట్ చేయాలనుకున్నాడు. కానీ ఇప్పటి ప్రేక్షకుల మైండ్ సెట్ కు, దర్శకుడి ఊహకు సింక్ కుదరలేదు. ఫలితంగా కొన్ని సందర్భాల్లో సింపతీ సంగతి దేవుడెరుగు, ప్రేక్షకులు గట్టిగా నవ్వి, సదరు పాత్రను ట్రోల్ చేశారు. 

అక్కడక్కడ క్యారెక్టరైజేషన్ లో లోపాలున్నప్పటికీ ఆనంద్ దేవరకొండ తన పాత్రకు వందశాతం న్యాయం చేశాడు. చాలా సన్నివేశాల్లో మెప్పించాడు. భగ్నప్రేమికుడిగా అతడి యాక్టింగ్ బాగుంది. ఇక ఈ సినిమాలో అత్యంత కీలకమైన పాత్ర పోషించిన వైష్ణవి చైతన్య చాలా బాగా చేసింది. ఆమె కళ్లతో భావాలు పలికించిన తీరు బాగుంది. పక్కింటి అమ్మాయి లుక్స్ నుంచి మోడ్రన్ లుక్ లోకి మారిన విధానం కూడా మెప్పిస్తుంది. మరో కీలక పాత్రధారి విరాజ్ ఉన్నంతలో ఫర్వాలేదనిపించాడు. నాగబాబు, వైవా హర్ష తమ పాత్రలకు న్యాయం చేశారు. 

ఇంతకుముందే చెప్పుకున్నట్టు దర్శకుడు కల్ట్ లవ్ స్టోరీ తీయాలనే కసితో విశ్వప్రయత్నం చేశాడు. కొన్నిచోట్ల వసంత కోకిల ఛాయలు చూపించే ప్రయత్నం కూడా చేశాడు. కానీ అవేవీ వర్కవుట్ కాలేదు. ఫస్టాఫ్ కాస్త స్లోగా ఉన్నప్పటికీ, పాత్రల పరిచయం, హీరోయిన్ పాత్ర రూపాంతరం చెందడం, సూపర్ హిట్ సాంగ్ వల్ల ఓకే అనిపిస్తుంది. ఇంటర్వెల్ బ్యాంగ్ బాగుంది. సెకండాఫ్ లో మాత్రం చాలా సన్నివేశాలు సాగదీసినట్టు అనిపిస్తాయి, పైగా మనం ఊహించుకునేలా ఉంటాయి. ఇక క్లయిమాక్స్ అయితే ఎప్పటికీ ముగిసిపోదు. కథనాన్ని మరీ ఎక్కువగా సాగతీశాడు దర్శకుడు. అవసరమైన దానికంటే ఎక్కువగా లాగడం వల్ల ప్రేక్షకుడు బోర్ ఫీల్ అయ్యాడు. 

దీనికితోడు సినిమాలో పెట్టిన బూతు డైలాగులు మరో ప్రహసనం. సెన్సార్ లో మ్యూట్ అవుతాయని తెలిసి కూడా, కొన్ని పదాల్ని అదే పనిగా వాడారు. దాదాపు తెలుగులో మాట్లాడుకునే బూతులన్నీ బేబిలో వినిపిస్తాయి. మ్యూట్ అయినా మనకు అర్థమైపోతాయి. ఇక మరికొన్ని డైలాగ్స్ విషయానికొస్తే.. 'నువ్వు తెరవాల్సింది కళ్లు కాదు, కాళ్లు' అనే డైలాగ్ తో దర్శకుడు ఏం చెప్పాలనుకున్నాడో అతడికే తెలియాలి. ప్రాస బాగుందని, ఇలా బూతును విచ్చలవిడిగా వాడేసినట్టు అనిపించింది. లవ్ ఫెయిలైతే ఏ మగాడైనా ఓ మూల కూర్చొని మందు కొట్టాల్సిందే అనే అర్థం వచ్చేలా పెట్టిన డైలాగు దర్శకుడి ఓల్డ్ స్కూల్ ఆలోచనను ప్రతిబింబిస్తుంది. 

దర్శకుడి ఆలోచనలు ఎలా ఉన్నప్పటికీ వాటికి మంచి ఫ్రేమ్స్ దక్కాయి. అందమైన సినిమాటోగ్రఫీకి, అంతే అందమైన బ్యాక్ గ్రౌండ్ స్కోర్ కూడా దొరికింది. సాంగ్స్ అన్నీ బాగా కుదిరాయి. 'ఓ రెండు మేఘాలిలా' సాంగ్ అయితే టోటల్ సినిమాకే హైలెట్. దాని కొనసాగింపుగా వచ్చే బ్యాక్ గ్రౌండ్ స్కోర్ కూడా మనసుకు హత్తుకుంటుంది. నిర్మాణ విలువలు బాగున్నప్పటికీ, ఎడిటింగ్ లో కంప్లయింట్స్ ఉన్నాయి. సినిమాను అంత లెంగ్త్ లో ఎందుకు వదిలేశారో అర్థంకాదు. బహుశా.. 'కల్ట్ సినిమా' తీస్తున్నప్పుడు లెంగ్త్ కూడా ఎక్కువ ఉండాలని ఫీల్ అయ్యారేమో. 

చాలా చోట్ల ఆర్ఎక్స్ 100 ఛాయలు కనిపించిన ఈ సినిమాలో హీరోయిన్ క్యారెక్టర్ ను కాకుండా, చుట్టూ ఉన్న పరిస్థితులు ఆమెను ఎలా మార్చాయనే కోణంలో దర్శకుడు కథను 'సవివరంగా' చెప్పే ప్రయత్నం చేశాడు. అయితే ఈ క్రమంలో లవ్ కంటే లస్ట్ ఎక్కువగా చూపించాడు. బూతులు, భారీ రన్ టైమ్ అదనం. కథ ప్రకారం సినిమాలో మెయిన్ క్యారెక్టర్స్ అన్నీ చివరికొచ్చేసరికి బాధితులుగా మారతాయి. సుదీర్ఘంగా 3 గంటల పాటు కూర్చొని ఈ సినిమా చూసిన ప్రేక్షకుల పరిస్థితి కూడా అంతే.

'Baby' Review: Lengthy Lousy Lusty

'Baby' Review: Lengthy Lousy Lusty

Film: Baby Rating: 2.25/5 Cast: Anand Devarakonda, Viraj Ashwin, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, Naga Babu, Lirisha etc Cinematography: MN Balreddy Editor: Viplav Nyshadam Music: Vijay Bulganin Producer: SKN Written and Directed By: Sai Rajesh Release Date: 14 July 2023

Anand Devarakonda, after a series of flops, came up with this film featuring Vaishnavi in her debut as a full-length heroine. Viraj Ashwin played the second lead, and the film was directed by Sai Rajesh. The trailer appealed to a specific audience, giving the impression of a poetic love story.

Let's delve into the plot and find out what it offers.

Story: Vaishnavi (Vaishnavi Chaitanya) has been in love with Anand (Anand Devarakonda) since their high school days. While Vaishnavi joins an Engineering College, Anand, who fails his 10th standard, becomes an auto driver over time.

Viraj (Viraj Ashwin), a wealthy young man in the college, falls in love with Vaishnavi and proposes to her. Although Vaishnavi develops feelings for Viraj, she remains loyal to Anand.

However, a series of events eventually push Vaishnavi to accept Viraj's kiss-proposal, leading her into trouble. What happens next? Who is the actual culprit, and who are the victims? How does her kiss affect the lives of each one?

The rest of the story answers these questions.

Artiste's Performance: Anand Devarakonda delivered a commendable performance, excelling in several scenes. He portrayed a character with strong values and morals, while also portraying a victim of love.

Vaishnavi showcased her talent by playing a girl-next-door from a below middle-class family, as well as an urban girl with a makeover. She portrayed a graceful lover and a confused teenager, displaying versatility in her acting.

Viraj performed well in his role, although there weren't many opportunities for him to showcase his diverse acting skills. His character lacked surprises or additional shades.

Naga Babu's portrayal was adequate but didn't offer anything noteworthy. Viva Harsha's role was like an extra actor with a few scenes and a couple of dialogues.

Technical Expertise: The cinematography was good, and the background score adequately supported the film. The songs were situation-based and pleasing to ears.

The editing was not sharp, causing scenes to drag on. On a whole the making standards are good. 

Highlights: Anand Devarakonda Vaishnavi Music

Drawbacks: Run-time Vulgarity

Analysis: Sai Rajesh, known for directing films with a blend of comedy and spoof value like "Hrudaya Kaleyam" and "Kobbari Matta," attempted to break away from that image with this film. He aimed to create an intense cult love story, but unfortunately, the result was a lethargically made, overly lengthy film with confusing characters.

While the director intended to present characters with real-life emotions, it became burdensome for the audience to bear the confusion and indecisiveness shown on screen.

The characterization of the female lead began subtly as a girl next door but later transformed into an urban girl who behaved contrary to her initial character. Despite the director's attempt to attribute her actions to alcohol, the overall narrative shifted toward hating the main lead rather than empathizing with her. Additionally, the heroine, who crossed several boundaries with her new friends, is surprisingly unaware of what 'dating' means, creating further confusion in her characterization.

Furthermore, the main lead's character felt contrived, with an excessive focus on idealistic traits. Instead of sympathizing with him, the audience sometimes trolled the character with loud laughs and shouts, revealing a mismatch between the director's imagination and the contemporary audience's mindset.

While the director may have aimed for a film akin to Balu Mahendra's "Vasantha Kokila" with a shattered hero at the end, the result felt forced and excessively long.

It is essential to maintain the right balance and not drag the narrative beyond what is necessary to achieve the desired effect. In this film, the story was dragged out too long, making it unbearable for the audience. The first half was slow but steady, while the interval part was intriguing. The second half followed predictable patterns, and the climax was never ending and pale.

The film runs like a moral story. It is a lesson for young girls of college age not to get trapped into the urban evils like pubs, alcohol and smoke and spoil personal lives. But the way it was dealt was vulgar. 

In spite of that moral theme, the film included objectionable cuss words like L@#j# (multiple times), G#dd#, De#g# Thaagi, Lan$ak#d#ka, Kud$si##tav. The filmmakers may have intentionally included these words, knowing that they would be muted by the Censor Board, but still understood by the audience in context. However, this choice speaks more about the director's vulgar taste than anything else. The words are not getting muted in American prints causing a lot of embarrassment and inconvenience to the NRI audience.

There is also a dialogue- "Nuvvu theravaalsindi kallu kaadu- kaallu" which is vulgar. 

There is a dialogue suggesting that men must spend the rest of their lives consuming alcohol sitting in a corner if their love fails. This outdated filmy thought process reflects the director's perspective.

The film appears loosely inspired by "RX100," where the heroine herself is the villain. In this case, the heroine is a villain but primarily driven by circumstances rather than her character.

The film emphasized more lust than love. All the main characters are victims at the end as per the story and of course the audience too are the victims of the length!

Telugu movie ‘Baby’ Review: Anand Devarakonda shines in a gripping thriller with a twist

July 11, 2023 Riya Shalgar South Indian Movies 1

ANAND DEVERAKONDA: ‘BABY’ TRAILER… 14 JULY RELEASE… #Telugu film #Baby - starring #AnandDeverakonda, #VaishnaviChaitanya and #VirajAshwin - to release in *cinemas* on 14 July 2023.#BabyTrailer [with #English subtitles] 🔗: https://t.co/LxRqGUervJDirected by #SaiRajesh…… pic.twitter.com/OUaKZ5P2Uq— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) July 8, 2023

“Baby” is a Telugu-language thriller film directed by Ramesh Raparthi and starring Anand Deverakonda, Viraj Ashwin and Vaishnavi Chaitanya. The film is scheduled for a worldwide release on July 14, 2023.

The film revolves around a young couple, Raj (Deverakonda) and Swathi (Chaitanya), who adopt a baby girl after struggling with infertility. However, their seemingly happy life is shattered when they discover that their baby is not what she seems.

The film begins with Raj and Swathi celebrating their fifth anniversary at a resort. They are surprised by a visit from Raj’s friend, Karthik (Ashwin), who works as a journalist. Karthik tells them that he has found a baby girl abandoned in a dumpster and asks them if they want to adopt her. Raj and Swathi, who have been trying to conceive for years, agree to take the baby home.

They name the baby Ananya and soon grow attached to her. However, they also notice some strange things about her. She does not cry, laugh or show any emotion. She does not respond to toys, music or affection. She only stares blankly at them or at the TV. Raj and Swathi consult a doctor, who tells them that Ananya may have some developmental issues and advises them to be patient and supportive.

Meanwhile, Karthik is investigating a series of murders that have been happening in the city. He finds out that all the victims are connected to a mysterious cult that worships a goddess named Kali. He also learns that the cult leader, Guruji (Raja Ravindra), has been abducting young girls and sacrificing them to Kali in exchange for power and wealth. Karthik suspects that Ananya may be one of the missing girls and decides to confront Raj and Swathi.

However, before he can do so, he is attacked by Guruji’s henchmen and kidnapped. Raj and Swathi receive a call from Guruji, who tells them that he wants Ananya back. He reveals that Ananya is not a normal baby, but a reincarnation of Kali herself. He says that he had planned to sacrifice her on the night of the full moon, but she escaped from his clutches and ended up in the dumpster. He warns them that if they do not return Ananya to him, he will kill Karthik and unleash Kali’s wrath on them.

Raj and Swathi are shocked and terrified by this revelation. They do not know what to do or whom to trust. They decide to flee from their home with Ananya and seek help from the police. However, they soon realize that they are being followed by Guruji’s men and that Ananya is not as innocent as she looks.

“Baby” is a gripping thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The film has a tight script, crisp editing and effective cinematography that create a tense and suspenseful atmosphere. The film also has some unexpected twists and turns that keep the viewers guessing until the end.

ANAND DEVERAKONDA: ‘BABY’ TRAILER… 14 JULY RELEASE… #Telugu film #Baby – starring #AnandDeverakonda , #VaishnaviChaitanya and #VirajAshwin – to release in *cinemas* on 14 July 2023. #BabyTrailer [with #English subtitles] 🔗: https://t.co/LxRqGUervJ Directed by #SaiRajesh …… pic.twitter.com/OUaKZ5P2Uq — taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) July 8, 2023

The film’s biggest strength is its cast, especially the three lead actors. Anand Deverakonda delivers a convincing performance as Raj, a loving husband and father who is torn between his loyalty to his family and his fear of the unknown. Viraj Ashwin impresses as Karthik, a brave and loyal friend who risks his life to uncover the truth. Vaishnavi Chaitanya shines as Swathi, a caring wife and mother who struggles with her emotions and doubts.

However, the star of the film is undoubtedly the baby girl who plays Ananya. She steals every scene she is in with her eerie expressions and creepy actions. She makes the audience feel both sympathy and horror for her character.

The film’s only drawback is its climax, which feels rushed and underwhelming. The film could have explored more of the cult’s background and motives, as well as the mythology behind Kali’s reincarnation. The film also leaves some loose ends unresolved, such as what happens to Raj and Swathi after the final confrontation.

Overall, “Baby” is a well-made thriller that offers an engaging and thrilling experience to the viewers. It is not for the faint-hearted, but for those who enjoy dark and twisted stories.

Baby Movie Review: An odious, operatic tragedy of errors

Rating: ( 3 / 5).

Is there any genre more inconsistent in its treatment than romantic films? On one hand, we have films that are all froth and fluff, unrealistic from the get-go. On the other end, you have your pain-ridden odysseys acting as a gateway for catharsis. One is sheer escapism, the other a polarising poke into the pus-filled warts of human experience. There is an uneasiness so distinct after watching  Baby , a lot of the appreciation I have for this film comes from the very uneasiness it effectively evoked in me. But how can one appreciate something that makes you feel uneasy? Maybe it is some degree of novelty, combined with a congruence to a certain strain of reality. Maybe the existence of 'feel good' cinema conversely implies the existence of 'feel bad' cinema, for  Baby , easily earns itself a distinction in the latter category. Director - Sai Rajesh Cast - Vaishavi Chaitanya, Anand Deverakonda, Viraj Ashwin, Harsha Chemudu, Nagababu Konidela

For a film that deals with something so intimate and humble in scale — first love, growing up, infidelity, heartbreak and regrets — Director Sai Rajesh mounts it with an assured grandeur. The music of the film, composed by Vijai Bulganin, helps immensely, elevating the story even when the actors are struggling to find their feet. Not so long ago, this exact feat was achieved by composer duo Ajay-Atul for Sairat , a Marathi adaptation of Romeo and Juliet . But Baby is far pricklier in comparison. The movie has three leads and the makers intentionally name characters after their real names. Vaishnavi Chaitanya plays Vaishnavi, Anand Deverakonda is Anand and Viraj Ashwin’s character is called…you get the drift. If Jeo Baby’s The Great Indian Kitchen wanted to convey to its viewers that they are narrating the tale of *every* Indian family by not naming their characters, Baby takes a different route to arrive at the same location.   What gives Baby its edge is the way it presents two varying arguments about the film’s central love story at the same time. Sure, this is the story of many, if not every couple but, more often than not, these couples also believe they are exceptional, their love story is but the greatest in the world. Sample this song from Baby whose lyrics say, “ Mana katha lanti maro katha, charithalo undadhantane… ” (There is no story as unique as ours, history will stand proof to it). There is an echo to this display of exceptionalism on a more personal level when Vaishnavi declares, “ andaru veru, nenu veru ” (I am not like everybody else), which is followed by Anand rudely replying “ andaru porilu veru kaadhu, andaru okkate. ” (all girls are the same).  The exceptionalism of the characters is balanced by an inquiry on identity. As Vaishnavi leaves her ghetto to a swanky private engineering college, we see her self-esteem crack as she gets ridiculed about her dark skin and her economic background. We see her family, a cranky, insecure mother and a well-meaning but emotionally absent father play a role in this. This sets the tone for the rest of her arc. Staying committed to its “feel bad” vibe, Vaishnavi’s story is essentially an unbe'coming' of age one. Baby’s twin themes of exceptionalism and identity meet at the moment when Anand, after hurling abuses at Vaishnavi, declares that her identity only comes from him loving her. That she is who she is, because he chose to love her out of all the other people he could have loved. Vaishnavi, responds a little while later, that he gets his arrogance because she loved him first. She follows this up with a “ nuvvu mundhu preminche unte nen ninnu nelanu naakinche danini. ” What a beautiful insult. 

As much as Baby is about Vaishnavi, the film also belongs to Anand and his bookended grief, as its plays out like a flashback, a lengthy follow-up to the “ modhati premaku maranam ledhu ” (first love is immortal) hypothesis.  Anand is introduced with a shot of his feet as a fly lingers around. He is drunk, visibly overwhelmed with memories. We first see Vaishnavi dancing away outside her basthi’s Ganesh pandal. Their high school love is all innocence, aptly punctuated by children singing the chorus of  'O Rendu Prema Meghalila' . But alas, their innocence is only built to have it every last bit of it destroyed. Vaishnavi is the first to fall for Anand, he reciprocates it later. Vaishnavi, receiving a soap dabba as a gift, declares how she loves receiving gifts. These seemingly cute details are foreshadowed, weaponised even, for regrettable consequences and cruel pay-offs. 

Baby is well aware of its own foreboding, so much so that Vaishnavi and Anand find themselves talking about feeling, and later failing to see bad omens come in their way. If Anand and Vaishnavi form the film’s more obvious love story, Baby ’s tryst with tragedy is the film’s second, hidden love story. Viraj is the face and form of this story’s ugliness. Echoes of identity and exceptionalism find themselves in his story as well. Viraj is a rich guy who drives a Cooper to his college. Why would he like Vaishnavi, a basthi girl? But look at his introduction scene plays. Every girl is impressed by his looks, his wealth. Vaishnavi is not only different than all the other girls, but she is also indifferent to who he is on the outside. Much like Anand, this is the girl he chooses, to bequeath her a new identity, to be her only identity. 

While Baby also portrays love as something special, something irreplaceable and magical in theory, the film succeeds in its ugly depiction of narcissism, pettiness and violence. The film is generating enough hate as I type this sentence, but there is a good reason for that. Not a single main character is good or right. Vaishnavi is undone by her fear, Anand is destroyed by his insecurity and Viraj, well, Viraj is the most nightmarish version of the nice guy/boy bestie trope. Imagine Revi from Love Today , but crazy manipulative instead of just stupid. There is also a laughably bad and infantilized class divide angle in the form of a character named Seetha thrown in. While it does not work on its own, it does its bit in pushing the story forward. 

The film’s biggest shortcoming is in its direction. Its 177-minute-long runtime, consisting of scene after scene of theatre-style staging where the camera never moves and the dialogues never end does prove to be taxing to the viewer. For a story so haunting, its filmmaking is flat and tepid, wasting an opportunity to go from interesting to…well, exceptional. For now, and for a while, I shall continue to remain how the characters have been throughout the film. Confused. Like everybody else.

Baby Telugu Movie Review

Baby Review (Telugu Movie)

Baby is a Telugu romantic flick with a twist. The film stars Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, Viraj Ashwin in the lead roles.

Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya have been in a serious relationship since their 10th grade. Vaishnavi joins college while Anand becomes an auto driver to look after his mom. The main story begins here due to the differences in their lifestyle.

Writing/ Direction:

Once the main conflict is revealed as a twist in the interval block, even the initial old-school love sequences start making sense. It’s a screenplay film, every scene moves the life of the three lead characters forward. For a film like this, audience engagement is the key and the director does the trick. The film might be many things, but it is gripping throughout and has that ‘what next’ factor which makes us forget the lengthy runtime, at least for the most part. The film is problematic at many places, might make one think life is stupid and even give a weird feeling about the people around. Although the writing at times exaggerates the happenings, it fits perfectly for the film language. Taking the two major writing parts of the story for example, the kissing scene in the interval and the one night stand portion in the latter. Both the sequences involve all three of them in a way or the other, however the moment is happening between two characters, the third character is fluently involved in the situation. It is idiotic to think about, but the factor is what makes those moments hard-hitting while watching. The crazy content obviously becomes sensational theatre material. The finale could have been crisper, as the film is long-drawn-out to convey its ending.

Performances:

Mixed bag performances from the two male lead artists. The heroine, Vaishnavi is significantly better than the main men, she shows great variety but she too misses the meter in a couple of places. Both Anand Deverakonda and Viraj Ashwin deliver a convincing act at places and there are a bunch of moments they miss out to express the intended emotion. Better finds would have uplifted the drama even more.

Technicalities:

A neat film in terms of technical aspects. There is nothing exceptional, but everything is at the right point. Decent songs, thankfully no duet considering the genre, all are montage numbers used as tools to quickly portray the situations. Fine work by the cinematographer and team, maintains the simplicity throughout that will easily connect with the audience. There are some smart cuts at the edit table, but the overall duration could have been easily shortened by chopping off the lags here and there.

There are portions that the movie tends to be absolutely stupid and the main theme is problematic, but it is gripping from start to finish. And the happenings are crazy and never dips nor becomes a dry flick.

Baby - Insane!
