Expectations are high as the superstar of comedies is back with yet another comedy directed by veteran comedian Sajid Khan. The trailers were high on energy and succeeded in creating a buzz around the movie. So does the movie live upto the high expectations? Well to a certain extent, Yes.
Heyy Babyy is about 3 womanisers Arush (Akshay Kumar), Tanmay (Ritesh Deshmukh) and Ali (Fardeen Khan). Arush loves sleeping with babes and then ditching them. Tanmay is a party entertainer who enjoys playing with babies and babes too! Ali is a gambler cum womaniser. The 3 cool dudes are having a ball in Sydney. The formula is simple Flirt – Sleep – Ditch. But a sweet little baby girl changes their lives.. Forever! The cool dudes turn into loving and caring fathers. Just then their lives take yet another twist with the entry of Esha (Vidya Balan)..
Heyy Babyy has just the right ingredients for a perfect entertainer, comedy combined with emotions. The movie begins with a bang with brilliantly executed comic scenes that has the viewers in splits. The subsequent portions with the emotional bonding between Arush, Tanmay, Al and the Baby does tend to drag a bit. At the half way mark you start wondering just what could happen next, as the story requires a twist to carry it forward. But what works for the movie is the brilliant second half. The credit should go to Sajid Khan who handles every scene with brilliance. Most definitely a director to watch out in the future. The music is average. Mast Kalandhar is the song that stands out. The cinematography (Himman Dhamija) is stylish, Sydney and Brisbane has been shot well.
Akshay Kumar rocks in comedy but way below average in the emotional scenes. He is in full form in the portions between him and Vidya Balan in the second half. Ritesh Deshmukh isnt at his best which is disappointing. Fardeen Khan is surprisingly good. Vidya Balan has no scope for histrionics. She needs to work on her look. In western clothes she looks plumb but absolutely gorgeous in the traditional Indian saree! Boman Irani is brilliant. Anupam Kher and Shahrukh Khan have a brief special appearance.
A few things that worked
– Akshay Kumar wooing Vidya Balan in the second half. Hilarious!
– Chemistry between Akshay – Ritesh – Fardeen.
– The baby leaves a smile on your face.
– The crowd reaction when Shahrukh Khan appears on screen has to be experienced to be believed.
– The one liners.
A few things that didnt work
– The slow paced first half. 10 mins can easily be chopped off for better impact.
– The Music.
Also, some interaction between Anupam Kher and Shahrukh Khan would have been interesting as SRK plays Raj (from DDLJ).
Overall, Heyy Babyy is a well made comic entertainer which mainly works thanks to Akshay Kumar’s amazing comic timing. Worth a watch in theatre.
Heyy Babyy ends with a message from Sajid Khan which reads “Love you SRK”. I’d end this review with “We Love you Akshay” your just brilliant in comedies.

I loved this movie its great..i liked the review too…
the baby was just tooo cute and akshay is my favourite actor
so no offence he looked reallly good..
it is a good comedy although the story wasn’t maybe that intreresting the actors
made it hilarious and a good movie to watch..
I hate that baby
All the actors did a great job. It was a very comedy & touchy movie. When Akshay, Ritesh and Fardeen are in any movies, I never miss to watch. Well Akshay is my favourite actor. My blessings are always with him. Looks like this year again he will have all his movies successful. God bless him. In this movie the baby angle is very cute. It really showed that men also can raise children, I mean from the baby. I also saw that there was no such secene that looked fake. I was so in it that I imagine that everything was so real. I know now I will watch this movie over and over. Vidya Balan and Mr irani also did great job. A very different and very unique movie. I loved it. Keep it up guys.
what the hell! this kind of things could only happen in indian movie, swearing on little kid, showed baby lying in rain and nearly dead. on top, this was the limit when it showed baby treated with electric shock in hospital, director needs to grow up and actors as well.
sick !!!
Thanks for everyone . Who write this review
