Great Film overall

Best movie of this year hands down!
Ezmae Chang
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Francene Odetta
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

As if one were needed, "Heyy Babyy" is a two-hour-plus remake of the1987 hit "Three Men and a Baby" (which was itself an adaptation of a French film from 1985). This Bollywood production features three swinging bachelors from India who share a swanky apartment in a high class quarter of Sydney, Australia. One day they find an abandoned baby on their doorstep, along with a note declaring that one of the men - it's not stated which - is the girl's father. Naturally, this leads to all kinds of predictable slapstick hijinks as the three inept and bumbling playboys take on the new and challenging role of "fathers" to this adorable tyke.It's hard to convey just how grueling - nay, excruciating - an experience sitting through "Heyy Babyy" turns out to be. What with all the pratfalling and mugging and fast-motion photography, "Heyy Babyy" makes even the most inane Three Stooges short look like a Noel Coward play in comparison. Suffice it to say the script is unbelievably banal, the comic ideas antiquated and poorly executed, and the acting so cheesy and over-the-top that, after only a few minutes' exposure to this drivel, you'll be agreeing with the French as to the comic genius of Jerry Lewis.Yet, the only thing more insufferable than "Heyy Babyy" when it's in a playful mood is "Heyy Babyy" when it's being all high-minded and sanctimonious, cranking up the goo to almost unimaginable proportions, as this "angel sent from God" turns three self-indulgent and immature womanizers into hyper-sensitive and morally responsible young men - and the audience into a bunch of oohing and aahing sentimental slobs.So if your idea of a good time is religious symbolism mixed with poop jokes (and padded out to an unendurable length with endless musical numbers), by all means feel free to indulge yourself in all that "Heyy Babyy" has to offer in that regard. Otherwise, run for your life as far and as fast as you can the moment "Heyy Babyy" appears on a screen near you.

If you thought LITTLE MAN from the Wayans Brothers was a stinker, well this Bollywood musical made in Sydney Australia is dire-rear. And it is astonishingly offensive. Based or stolen from THREE MEN AND A BABY this awful rip off with wobble head disco tracks actually manages to turn already idiotic oafs into hateful cretinous characters in the appalling cruelty shown to this baby in this dumb film. Supposedly these three selfish stooges find a baby on the doorstep and then bicker relentlessly about having to look after the child... whining and slapping each other in-between pathetic songs.... and spitting hateful remarks at this tiny kid. Then after they have reduced you to gasping in disbelief the script calls for them to abandon the kid in a storm, where the director then chooses to show us the horrifying sight of a baby wet and blue lying in a sodden basket. So idiotic are the on screen antics and boorish enough, these utterly distressing and disgusting scenes remove any non existent interest and attempts at reviving attention in the rest of the film. These three idiots then decide they love this near dead wet baby and get her revived... so they can skip and romp around the landmarks of Sydney to our further head shaking bewilderment. HEYY BABYY is a travesty and an insult to the beautiful city of Sydney as much as it would surely be to any paddy worker in a mud cinema in India. Awful in every way. Made of course with support from our misled City tourism board.

Thought process as you watch "Hey Babyy":: First-half:: Is it the same Sajid Khan who directed the weakest segment of Darna Zaroori Hain? No way!! First-half of second-half:: This Sajid Khan and that Sajid Khan are probably the 'Kumbh Ka Mela brothers'.Second half of second half:: Oui Maa... Yeh Muaa Toh Wahi Hain!!! Yes, the first half takes the graph higher and higher. Enter Vidya Balan and the movie sinks deeper than Titanic. If the little baby steals your heart in the first half, the big baby smashes it with equal vengeance.Akki:: Its a role which has various layers to it and da man does not falter a bit. A meaty role amongst the trio. In Dil Toh Paagal Hain it was guest role for Akki, but now its payback time for SRK.Vidya Balan:: The lethargic nasal voice maybe your signature style but you are overdoing it. And, in the name of versatility if you attempting to break the Parineeta mould in one go, caution... you may fall flat on your face.Boman Irani as the Inspector was fantastic while Boman Irani in comic part was a big downer. And why the false alarm of heart-attack as a mere chest pain? Fardeen Khan, loved him in his Chupke-Chupke attire and of course the take it slowly episode.Ritiesh Deshmukh, dependable as usual and IMO he should stop getting slapped in every other movie. Politics and underworld nexus go hand-in-hand, beware! And finally of course, being Farah Khan's sibling Hey Baby has a miniature parade of Bollywood faces in the title song, only fairer sex but.

This movie is definitely not a family film. It has several jokes which are uncomplimentary and sexually explicit. Many dialogs and scenes are not worth watching with your family especially with kids under 12! The dialogs are not only explicit, they are vulgar, of low standards and do not add to the story.The use of explicit material is becoming more common on the Indian cinema nowadays and so many people may not find this a big deal but I think this movie went a little past that too. I mean Akshay points at a mother's breasts. Moreover, the mother is half naked. Besides, there's a conversation about mother's nipples. I mean come one, this is gross, not funny. So, this movie is for those who like slapstick and don't care about acting or poor jokes. For those who do, I recommend you not watch this movie.
