Baby John Twitter Review

Favorable reviews for the film highlighted how Varun played his role aptly, as well as how Thaman S’s music worked in the film’s favor. “Baby John packs ‘pyaar, dart, dhamaal’. Varun quite succeeded in the father/cop atmosphere, Wamiqa adds charm and lights up the screen, Jackie as Nana is pure menace, and the action is (fire). A timepass mass masala with elegant background music and slick cinematography,” reads one X user’s review of the film.

Another person loved Salman Khan’s cameo and the background music, writing, “Salman Khan’s cameo in #BabyJohn is a complete paisa vasool sequence! Baby John as a film is 100 times better than Rohit Shetty’s Singh universe! Thaman BGM culminated in the interval block and climactic scene. The BEST in the industry for mass-market films!

One Varun fan thought he “killed it” in the role, writing, “I watched it on the first day of the first show @Varun_dvn. You killed him. The film was stunning and especially your never before seen Baby John look.

Theri fans prefer the original

Theri fans, however, seem to have preferred the original over the Hindi remake. An X user wrote: “#BabyJohnReview Sala Thalapathy Vijay Dimaag se nikalta he nahi but always the elavations n bgm (heart and fire emojis). Redo hai mais mahol fir bhi wahi. (It’s hard to forget Vijay in the role but the elevations and background music are good. It’s a remake but the essence is the same.

Another wrote that while watching Theri might hamper the experience, Baby John is “still fun,” “a sincere and technically updated remake, in my opinion.” having watchedi definitely hampers the experience but baby john is still fun. the emotional elements here were better than the original. Varun Dhawan was really impressive and so were the other actors.

But not everyone was as impressed with one who called it a “bad remake,” “BAD REMAKE OF A CULT CLASSIC FILM.” Those who have seen THERI like me will not like the film, those who haven’t seen the classic with Thalapathy Vijay might take it as a one time watch. #BabyJohnReview #BabyJohn.

One user of of action hero varun a serious guy welcome to bollywood The original was so good this one doesn’t have the feel of saving your money on this flop.

One fan even went as far as comparing lead actors Samantha and Keerthy, writing: “#KeerthySuresh never match #samantha grace.
