Akshay Kumar’s Baby has collected Rs 11.17 crore on its second day at the box office, as per figures released by T-Series. The film has shown decent growth of around 26%, which sets it up well for the next two days (both holidays).
The business over the next three days will decide the film’s fate at the box office. Tuesday will be crucial too as the costs, like we have mentioned before, are on the higher side. So the film will have to do well this week and continue to remain steady next weekend too.
Due to its genre, Baby has under-performed at mass-centres, most of the business is coming from multiplexes in cities. The word-of-mouth at big cities in circuits like Mumbai, Mysore, East Punjab and Delhi/UP is good and these circuits will be driving the business of the film in the next few days.
Baby Total Collections in 2 days
- Friday – 9.3 cr
- Saturday – 11.17 cr (25.8% growth)
- Total – 20.47 cr
@shaggy
What is the runtime of baby?
@bollywood
Khans movies may be crap but they are not themselves crap,but problem with non khans is that they are themselves crap.so no one cares how are their movies……
The 3 khans are 3 pillars of bollywood ,4th pillar is whole remainingbollywood….
Do Pk,3idiots,MNIK,swades,RDB,lagaan,chak de ,tere nam,DDLJ, partner,K3g,Fanaa,RNBDJ ,HAHK,Raja hindustani ,MPK ,devdas are non khan movies???
Biggest fault of akshay kumar
he do filim like tmk,khiladi786 and ouatimd.if akshay didnt do that filims his all filims get good opening like 2006-2010.every one started to say that akki is a crap actor but he gives masterpieces like omg,spl26,holiday and baby. this year akshay return in the boxoffice game becuse without song and heroine baby take 9 crore opening.but the brothers and gabbar do 15 crore above opening in any wrost case synro.
This type of movie genre with no songs are hard to accept by mass audience but loved by multiplex audiences so…
Baby is goinng to average movie,
We akkiaans trust on him , baby film has got cult status . Akki sir 3 cult film hera pheri , special chabbis , baby .
For Akshay’s sake hope Baby does good business else he will return to films like Boss & Entertainment. After Special 26 & Holiday, all rounder Akshay has now mastered serious roles in addition to his action and timing comedy king status. The indications were always there; as displayed in Sanghursh & Jaanwar in the early 2000s but has fully sprouted in the last few years.
There was a time a used to participate in unnecessary khan wars SK vs SRk…collection and all load of rubbish…and then i got a job.
I dont give a damn abt collection now.
@NVS
In this way your all comments are are irrelevant…You always try hard to prove Srk behind everyone….I will not be surprised even if you say that Srk is behind tushar kapoor.But you know very well that even your post is incomplete without mentioning the KING srk…Keep on dreaming ……..I hope salman cross 422cr worldwide before becoming bigger star than srk…Yes Amir is ahead of everyone and is proved by boxoffice results……422cr is difficult for salman even for next year..may be he reach there after 5 years….but till then he is behind srk…
this film is affected by its length lack of thrrill and suspense and poor climax
songs dont make sense in spy films
sure it will flop
less than 50 crores is my honest prediction
Forget collections and fan rivalries!
Baby is a movie which has set standards with superb script,direction n perfromances from Akki to even one framer.
It would be a delight if collections cross at least 100 crores.More such movies should be made and should be appreciated comnercially as well.
My Baby Review. Well….not review but you can call it an analysis of it. I will dissect the whole movie into it’s different aspects or features. the total scale’s value will be equal to 10. I will also explain them and at the end say whether I recommend it or not. Let’s go….
1) Plot/Story- 2.5/3.0
It has one of the most engaging story I have ever seen! The story stays true to the Genre and was every bit what I expected! The story takes many turns and is twisty so it should be watched very carefully and the dialogues should be understood. Even a 5 minute break between the movie will have you being confused and looking like a monkey! The last 40 minutes were highly publicized but were not as good the 40 minutes after the interval with Tapsee and Akshay.I’m not giving it 3/3 as the plot was a little confusing the first time you watch it and I got a little Anti- Pak and Anti-Muslim vibe though the vibe was very small!
2)Acting/Casting-0.9/1.0
The whole team had a very limited screen time but gave a blockbuster performance! After the movie ended, I felt like I personally knew some of them and wanted more from the rest! Recsting Akshay was a great thing to do as he was one of the main reasons why I actually watched the film or why I liked it so much! Any other actor no matter how seasoned could not pull off his body language. Tarzan,Technician and Hulk were the nicknames given to Akshay-Anupam-Rana and they are totally fitting for them! I just wished that they would have used these names instead of their real names as they were too common (Ajay, Jay, etc) while the villains had the cool names. The villain(as there are many villains I will not say who is the main villain) was very menacing and has to be used in more Bollywood movies like Nasseruddin Siddiqui who was loved as a villain in Kick that they casted him as a Villain again in Badlapur!
3)Music/Background Score- 0.9/1.0
This is where I thought the film was lacking in. Don’t get me wrong! The background score was awesome and kept me engaged throughout the movie but it needed to have some getting used to. I would have been more engaged if they would have changed the Background Score in the 1st chase scene. There was only 1 bit of the romantic song and it was used to it’s utmost power. While the song Beparwah at the end came at a time when the people were filled with awesomeness and needed to become Beparwah as their country’s people will protect them!
4) Directing/Editing-2/2
It is a Neeraj Pandey film! What more do you want? This is his biggest movie till date and is better than Special 26 in my opinion. Special 26’s climax was really unpredictable but it left me wanting more as so much hype was built around how they will steal after the police has made preparation. The editing was real slick and never once did I feel like yawning!
5)Costume/Location-1/1
Everyone was looking their very best and it was shot beautifully over many countries.
6)Dialogues/Dialogue Delivery- 1/1
The dialogues were really awesomely delivered and never felt forced! Well….except that Diwali one….It just doesn’t feel right that at such a crucial stage in their lives someone can make one liner joke….I didn’t get it anyways. The rest was absolutely great!
7) Trailer Expectations- 0/1 ( This the part where I loose my cool)
The trailer gave more screen presence to these characters than the actual movie! I went in there expecting a serious Anupam and he was used to provide Comic relief. Taapsee ha one of the best performances at the 20 minute screen time. I did not know what Baby was, and was expecting it to be revealed near the end of the movie but it is the first thing that is revealed and isn’t even that big of a deal.I was also expecting more of the Item song with Esha as I did not watch it on Youtube and wanted to experience it on the big screen!Kno what I mean guys?
8)Entertainment Value- 1/1
This is whether it was Paisa Vasool or not. Guess what? It was!
Total- 9.3/10 (1st day Baby collection as well :) )
Recommend it? Sure as hell! Watch it twice

@Ajinkya
Comparing 3 idiots with a lousy, unoriginal, cliched and traumatizing book like 5 point someone?
It was Raju Hirani who made 3 idiots what it is. Had they used the same format of the book we would have got another 2 states lol. Show some respect for a classic. Dont behave like SSS khan.
Watched Baby today, here my review.
First of all its first film of Akki which I seen in theatre since TMK.The film story is about a team baby who is on mission to find the terrorist who are responsible and willing to create terror attacks.It has four member Akki,Rana,Anupam & Tapsi and Lead by Danny.The whole screenplay of the movie run around how they able to catch the culprits.
Story don’t have anything new to offer and we have seen quite many films based on terrorism but its depend how you shaped up your writing and narration to keep the interest of audience and make them entertain.Baby had given full justice in that case.Screenplay I would say is very good but not outstanding as in first half and some portion in second half it drags specially climax also dragged a bit.Dialogues ate outstanding.Full marks to the writers for punching dialogues as well sarcastic and humorous in some parts.I loved Akki’s wife dialogue “Bas Marna Mat”.
Performances:-I must admit that I never thought akki is such a fine actor before I watched holiday.And now with Baby he won my heart with his performance.He is the soul of the film and unlike other Neeraj pandey film this time most focus is on Akki and he is fantastic.His dialogues,body language,sincerity and acting is superb.Take a bow akki for this performance but I have to say that I loved his performance in holiday more.
Danny is fantastic, after a long time we have seen this talented actor in important role with great screen presence. As a leader of team baby he is superb.Anupam kher had come in limelight in latter part of second half and his performance is terrific.He delivered great performance and able to leave his impact whenever he is on screen.Rana Dagubbati is good he don’t have much to do even his dialogues are negligible most of time he remain silent.
Tapsi Pannu has a cameo but she is very good in that too,she looks beautiful and done justice to her character.Her fight scenes with Sushant Singh were shoot brilliantly and it got thunderous applause from audience.She will remember for those scenes.
Pakistani Maulana was also good in his role so is shushant rajput. I had only issue with Neeraj pandey that they wasted K K Menon here.He I’d such a fine actor but there is not a much important role of him.
Direction-Neeraj pandey completed his hatrick with fantastic films back to back with a Wednesday,SPL 26,baby. He is a director to watch out in future.He had directed movie very well,able to engage the audience,open the layer one by one, used Acting caliber of all the actors barring kk Manon even supporting cast was superb.Though it is no great like his earlier work but still very good.Thanks for the Baby Sir.
In technical department film is first rate,superb BGM,cinematography,editing all were very good.Saudi locations were eye pleasing.
Scenes which stand out.
1.Akki first encounter with javed to get the truth from him.
2. Whole conversation between Akki with Taufiq.
3. Tapsi encounter with shushant and their fight scenes.
4. Whole the last 35-40 mins everything was good though climax is stretched.
5.Akki conversation with Shushant.
and many more.
I have watched the film on single screens and I had seen that they loving the film,so despite being avg start I think it will sustain well in coming days,may cross 100 cr a success for sure but deserves Hit status and great collection.
Thanks You Neeraj-Akki and whole baby team for wonderful experience.
Religion waale column may him Bold and Capital letters me likhte h “INDIAN”- Team Baby
4/5 from my side not a classic but brilliant movie nevertheless.
At last Happy Republic Day all the Indians.
