Rating: 3.5/5 Cast: Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, Viraj Ashwin, Sathvik Anand Director: Sai Rajesh Release Date: July 14, 2023
Without giving anything away, the ending is not your typical Tollywood happy ending. It is logical, painful, and mature. You might hate it, but you cannot ignore it. What Doesn’t Work 1. Length & Pacing: The film feels too long. The first half, while entertaining, has a few repetitive sequences of the couple fighting and making up. A tighter edit would have made the impact sharper. Baby Telugu Movie Review
The physical abuse scenes, while realistic for the subject matter, are extremely difficult to watch. Sensitive viewers might find the aggression triggering. Final Verdict Baby is not a date movie. It is a cautionary tale. It is the cinematic equivalent of a gut punch. Rating: 3
While Anand acts well (especially his breakdown scenes), his character, Anand , is insufferable for most of the runtime. That is the point of the film, but it makes it hard to root for him. You spend half the movie wanting to slap him. What Doesn’t Work 1
The background score is the soul of this film. The “O Baby” song is picturized with such haunting irony that it stays with you long after the credits roll. The BGM during the climax will give you goosebumps.
