Baby John bids fair to claim the title of the worst film of 2024, a year when big, starry Bollywood tanked well and truly.

Varun Dhawan in a flashy, twisty, exhaustingly extravagant Hindi actioner.

Baby John, a remake of Atlee’s Theri (2016) and directed by Kalees, features an all-too-predictable storyline and an over-reliance on clichés and formulaic tropes.

Nothing screams ‘crisis’ in Hindi cinema right now more than Salman Khan showing up in his second ‘star cameo’ of the year – hedging his bets between two cinematic universes; hoping at least one of them works. Something works.

It’s watchable if you can sit through the boring songs, and the atrocious first half hour.

Baby John is no doubt engaging, but what the film lacks is crisp storytelling.

This film is highly entertaining and also tackles key issues from India and takes a strong stand on them in a very effective way.

ABSOLUTE MASTERCLASS BY Kalees, Atlee, Varun & Jackie Sharoff. A action thriller you cannot miss, with so much heart & emotion! Baby John is for everyone!

Pathetic does not even begin to describe it. Walked out of the movie with a headache. No plot line, horrible acting, and even worse direction. The saving grace was some of the action sequences and Keerthys songs. Complete waste of 3 hours. Save your money!
