Hey Baby film review

Director: Sajid Khan
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Rating: *** ½

If last week’s Chak De India was a film which could resonate to you through sport, Heyy Babyy does the same with a little baby.Contrary to what it may seem, Heyy Babyy is not a rip-off of Three men and a baby . Though you can draw parallels in the initial reels, the film tends to be quite different post the first half hour. Although the storyline is not out of the world, it is intriguing thanks to the
writers Sajid Khan and Milap Zaveri.

Aroush (Akshay Kumar), Tanmay (Ritesh Deshmukh) and Ali (Fardeen Khan) are three playboy room-mates residing in Sydney, Australia. They romance, dine and bed a number of women without thinking of how much hurt they might cause to them. One fine day, there is a knock on the door which changes their lives forever. A baby girl is kept at their door-step with a note saying ‘ kutte kamine apne bachche ko sambhalo ’.
Obviously one of them impregnated a girl and now she wants nothing of the kid. Not knowing to whom the note was referred to, the three have no choice but to take care of the baby. The guys who used to romance women just so that they could get their underwears washed are now trapped changing diapers and answering midnight baby tantrums. But, the innocence of the baby wins the hearts of the three and love prevails between them and its one big happy family now.

However, after coming to know of the whereabouts of the baby’s mother, the movie moves into a complete different direction. Its not about cleaning baby poop now, it’s about obtaining a loved one.

Having followed Sajid Khan’s personality as well as the promos of the film, one would think that this is going to be an out and out comedy, but that is not the case. After the preliminary goofy set-up of the guys trying hard to take care of the baby, it moves in another direction when the three abandon the baby outside a Church and she almost dies in the rain and when the mother stakes claim over the baby.

However, the film is not without its cons. There are a couple of extra songs in the second half that could have easily been avoided. But the Dil Ka Mamla with Shah Rukh Khan rocks though his presence in the film seemed a bit forced.
