Loved all his three films, but Wednesday was on completely different level! Don’t have to think twice about it.
BABY
A wed was also super bt accrdng to me baby is excllnt
it’s quite difficult to choose between A Wednesday and Baby . . . . But as we know that it is not easy to maintain suspense and thrill in second film if first one was also a suspense thriller . . so no doubt Baby is the best movie of Neeraj Pandey
A Wednesday by a distance..Its not only Neeraj Pandey’s best but one of the best movies of the last decade. For second position its a close contest between S26 and Baby. I will go for S26, purely because of Manoj Bajpayee’s acting..
a Wednesday was superb movie with unique concept. s 26 was fine too haven’t seen baby yet.
I think the impact of the movie also depends on your familiarity with director’s style. Though I loved both these films, the impact of PK and Baby was far less than Lage Raho Munna Bhai and Wednesday. Somehow I feel there was a bit of weak link in Baby particularly the first half compared to Wednesday.
BABY was a little bit weak i felt..was’nt Neeraj’s best..
A wednesday is his best film in terms of content no doubt,but i will give my vote to special 26 coz it is a great entertainer..i have watched it many times now still i don’t get bored watching it..such a “funny thriller” it is..
Be it Manoj bajpayee saying his wife to put on a dupatta or anupam kher’s dramatic lines saying “Ajju kehta tha woh aadmi paida hi nai hua jo use pakad sake”.. Special 26 is really special.
It is really a tough question . When you last posted such a question Which is the better film 3 Idiots or PK it was absolutely easy for me because i liked 3 Idiots more than PK . Neeraj Pandey is a incredible director and storyteller . A Wednesday had no songs, negligible starcast, absolutely no promotion and Debut Director . Yet it was commercially successful and won various accolades . Special 26 was also a brilliant movie . Brilliant performances from Akshay, Manoj and Anupam Kher . Now comes Baby i have voted for Baby . It is edge of the seat thriller you cannot miss anything while watching the movie . During the last 20 mins my heartbeat was increasing with every moment . When the movie came to an end and Beparwah Song began i saw my left hand and i could feel it there were goosebumps . The movie is entertaining, patriotic, and a Roller Coaster Ride . Now i am waiting to watch MS Dhoni not for Sushant as i am not a huge fan of him till now neither for Dhoni but i will watch it for Neeraj Pandey . So according to me Baby is the best movie of Neeraj Pandey and also it is the best movie of Akshay Kumar . @ Indicine I have posted an interesting question i would be happy if my question will be posted . Waiting for your answer .
Was confused between A Wednesday and Baby, but later voted for Baby. For me, Baby is slightly better than A Wednesday and way ahead than S26.
A Wednesday was successful commercially and critically. But Special 26 was commercially Below Average. At the Moment Baby is looking flop 80 cr. So My Vote to A Wednesday.
It’s surely between A Wednesday and Baby, people could prefer either for different reasons.
Neeraj Pandey is by the way one of the best directors we have today. All of his films have been critically acclaimed and decent at the box office, since there isn’t many masala content in his films.
A Wednesday, as it didnt have the irritating Akki in it.
Wednesday!
always
Haven’t seen A wednes day! So I have voted for Special 26!
I can’t choose because i not yet seen BABY and A Wednesday (first half only i seen). Special 26 is repeated value movie(i already watch 4 time). Many people said BABY best film of Neeraj Pandey.
I hv voted for a Wednesday.baby is also superb.
currentlt I m watching 2states on star gold.wat a great film it was
Definitely its BABY. a wednesday was also gud. but you can miss some moments in the movie. for BABY you cant even move for a second as you will miss something for sure. BABY is thoroughly engaging and entertaining as well.
content wise a Wednesday is a best work of neeraj pandey, i think. but my favorite is special 26.
BABY 2 certainly looks a possibility!
Neeraj pandey,Imtiaz Ali,Rajkumar Hirani ….do i need to say more ??
@Floopy, so much hate…if you hate his comedy or his usual stuff, then it’s ok but can you tell me what was so irriting about him in Baby and S26?
It’s must be A WEDNESDAY!
a Wednesday – 4/5
special 26 – 3.5/5
baby – 3.5/5
for baby it’s 3.5 or 3.75…
A Wednesday by a distance,that film has so much repeat value and was a shocking for me when I watched it first,SPL 26 was letdown for climax otherwise it will be equally brilliant,Baby won’t be a repeat watch as the film missing the shocking factor as well as not unique too.I bet with any one who voted for baby that you can’t enjoyed it in repeat watch but A Wednesday and Spl 26 is treat to watch.
But have to say all the 3 films were brilliantly directed but the concept of a common man to fight again terror directly is outstanding and quite noval.No doubt A Wednesday is the best.It was also a box office hit without popular lead faces purely on WOM.While SPL 26 wasn’t a hit and baby also max can be a hit.
We have seen many critically acclaimed film flopped without a trace but the box office success of A Wednesday speak the rest.
Baby! Oh no what a shit movie made by neraj. I hate and just hate this movie what a crapmaster film. I will be happy if it become flopbuster.
A wed is best work of neraj and naseer till date s26 is also good film but baby is crap. So my vote goes to a wed.
@virat agree with you
surely A Wednesday.( it is among 5 favorite movie from Bollywood along with guru,Swadesh,black,rang de basanti).
but other 2 from neeraj Pandey are also great.
i found a wednesday and special 26 much better than baby. There is nothing new in baby.
SPECIAL-26.
excellent chemistry amongst lead stars.
Nice cat and mouse game between Akshay and Manoj.
Very good repeat value.
A Wednesday contains thrill respectively special 26 and baby both also have it but baby have the best performance of akshay kumar so for my side baby is the best film of neeraj and akshay kumat
