Heyy Babyy (2007)
1/10
This movie should have been called "3 Idiots"

I don't even know where to start this review. It baffles me how someone could come up with such a garbage film. There isn't a single department in which the film exceeds all expectations someone could possibly have...of how bad it is. The acting is worse than banal - the performance of the "Australian" extras, in particular, is so stomach-turning you have to question whether they were robots or the director simply lacks any understanding of how casual human interactions work. That's not to spare the soporific main characters and their pathetic attempts at displaying any sort of emotional complexity, humanity, or relatability. Fardeen Khan reads his lines like a stoned koala, while Akshay Kumar's facial expressions are probably what the filmmakers used to make the titular baby cry on demand. I don't think I need to waste any bytes on Riteish Deshmukh so let's forget about him.

Completely ignoring the fact that this movie replicates entire scenes from Three Men and a Baby almost exactly, it actually manages to take a ludicrous concept and "Bollywoodize" it into something ghastly. Scarcely a single decision made by anyone in the film makes any sense.

However, I won't disrecommend watching this movie. I had some fun watching it.
