Oh! Baby Movie Review

OH! BABY MOVIE REVIEW

In recent times, the amount of family movies have been decreasing. For example, in 2019 there was 

F2 and Maharshi for some extent and nothing else. But, then released Oh! Baby. Inspired by the 2018 Korean blockbuster Miss Granny which was already remade in several languages, Oh! Baby is easily a top-notch family film.

Let us begin with the acting. Samantha is in her prime form as she delivers a marvellous performance as Baby, a 70 year old who turns into a 24 year old lady. She literally goes under the skin of the character to give some wonderful moments. From her body language to her dialogue, it is pure fun to watch her.

But, we should not forget the performance from senior actor Lakshmi, who set the foundation for the character Baby, and how well. The time she is on screen, the movie gets some of its best emotional moments. Rao Ramesh gets a meaty role after a long time and he uses it well. Child Actor Teja who we can recognise in the movie Indra as the child actor is good in his role. Rajendra Prasad as Baby's best friend Chanti is excellent and other actors like Pragathi, Frustrated Woman Sunaina are good in their as well.

NOTE: The Guest Appearances in the movie are all amazing. Please do not spoil them

Now, let us talk about the adapted story and screenplay done by the director herself, Nandini Reddy.

The way she adapted a korean story and blended it with Indian nativity is commendable. She should be appreciated for squeezing out the potential of each and every actor in the movie and getting the best out of the technical departments.

Speaking of which, all the technical departments gave their best to this movie. Editing although long was smooth sailing and we never get bored of this movie. Music by Mickey. J. Meyer was very good and right on point for the movie. My favourite of the music album is the title song itself.

The dialogue in this movie is so very clean and suits the character so well that a simple conversation becomes so fun. Cinematography of the movie is good.

In a housefull theatre, a scene makes the whole theatre cry, that's quite an achievement.

This movie is a fun ride and a very good family entertainer which will make you laugh and cry at the same time. I recommend you to take your grandparents to the film as well.  

My Rating: 4/5
