Heyy Babyy - Notepad
Heyy Babyy
quick review:
Absolutely run-of-the-mill slapstick is in-charge of the first half of the movie. Interestingly though, the second half is taken over mostly by my kind of good subtle humor. And that's what makes this one worth a DVD rental.
This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.
Plot Summary
Arush (Akshay Kumar), Al (Fardeen Khan), and Tanmay (Ritiesh Deshmukh) are your conventional womanizer bachelors who share an apartment. One fine day, a baby is left at their doorstep and their life changes.
What Worked
- There are a couple scenes where the reflection of the person on screen shows up on a glass article in the room, like a glass cupboard or a television. This has been done very creatively.
- The guy with the Jack Sparrow look. Make-up was awesome!
- The cheering Shah Rukh Khan received from the audience. It was more than that the 15+ girls put together received in the title song.
What did not
Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here
- Am I the only one who has a problem with the titles coming on while there are strong and interesting visuals in the background? Are the cast and crew so dispensable? Especially, when the name of the producer and director comes up against a solid yellow background with nothing to distract the audience.
- Dubbing is off in some scenes. E.g, Hrishita Bhatt's scene.
- Why is a Church door closed on a Christmas night? And why won't anyone open it?
- The lighting in the hospital room. I am sure it was intentional knowing Sajid Khan's sense of humor, but it didn't quite work for me.
- The language inconsistency of the characters. Arush uses broken English at most times and suddenly uses a word like "audacity". Al doesn't understand what "napunsak" (impotent) means in the first half and speaks pure Hindi in the second half.
- In the airport scene, the baby is shown lying down in one scene and then sitting up in the next and then lying down again.
- Fardeen Khan's puffy look
Nitty-Gritty
This section lists things that I think are not important to the overall impact of the movie. In most cases, it could be explained away by something like, "we noticed the glitch after the scene was shot and there were schedule/budget issues and thus we could not re-shoot it". I like giving the makers the benefit of doubt, but I am amused nevertheless. Hopefully, they will tickle you too.
- How does one get dry baby food on their face in a perfect shape? Akshay Kumar gets it on his face exactly to cover his eyes.
- Some kids at the birthday party were smiling when they were supposed to be scared.
- Why were all the kids in the same dress and hairstyle at this party? Were they sent a dress-and-hair-do code with the invite?
- Why are Polaroid snapshots coming out of a video camera?
- The girl coming to ask about "saat phere" at the wedding is so staged, that it is ridiculous even for a movie of this genre.

ridiculous.
Hi jeebon, as unimaginative as it may sound, time is my genuine problem - I am a part-time reviewer (note, not a critic). I can watch and review only one movie on a Friday. I generally choose to watch the more popular one - the movie most of the readers are likely to want to read about. I try to watch the second release on Monday, but that is not necessarily always possible. Unfortunately that means some movies get left out.
Another random thought - maybe there should be 48 hours in a Friday!
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to give me feedback.
A few years down the line, 'Heyy Babyy' would become a Quiz-Master's delight: He would ask, " Which was the first movie featuring Shah Rukh Khan and his Bollywood successor Ritiesh Deshmukh?”
The answer of course, is Heyy Babyy.
But why would Ritiesh Deshmukh be the Bollywood successor of Shah Rukh Khan?
Because like Shah Rukh, he possesses an ever-swelling tally of film awards for performing roles which did not even merit a nomination!
oh!its just a out standing film i have ever seen .So much comedy and so much laugh.................................................
Heyy Babyy is just a rocking film full of comedy.Its an interesting movie and the little Angel is simply cute and adorable.An out standing film!
I continue to wonder why so many people seem to have liked Hey Babby and not me!
Kicks off with an item song with several bollywood women with paddings(Amrita Arora being the worst) and thats supposed to create some excitement. Comedy - except a few scenes here and there, what is so comical about the movie. So you are supposed to laugh when Akshay Kumar shows the size of the baby by pointing towards a voluptous woman's breasts. Because AK has now gotten himself, you are supposed to laugh at some of his unconvincing histrionics as well. And whenever Sajid Khan thought 'this bit probably won't make anyone laugh', he asks the cameraman to focus on the baby - because there are atleast few million people in the country who can laugh because the baby is. Sorry but the logic is clearly missing. Who exactly would walk into a wedding and ask the bride if she got pregnant the last time they were together??? Why would Australian girls(the 3 girls who were in our protgonists' beds) talk in an American accent or like Eastern European girls with an American Accent.
Agreed that 3 men, only 1 being the actual father develops affection towards a little baby. But how many men are foolish enough to say with tears 'Arush you said you'll get the baby back home' despite the fact that Arush in an earlier scene quite seriously says that he loves the woman and for the simple reason that the baby is with her natural mother and the natural father is alive. Ridiculous.
Enough Said!!
Nirmal
its abad movie
Hey Babby is an Ok movie......title song seems to be good and the Baby Angel was very sweet...
im truely speechless
HEYY BABYY is a full time pass movie made by TV comedian Sajid Khan.Akshay deserves the role in the film since he has a son of his own in real life.Riteish is quite funny but nicely performs the emotional part also.Fardeen is quite funny.Vidya is good but it is sad that she enters in the film just few minutes before the interval.Boman is too good.Anupam is funny even if he has a guest appearance.SRK does the dance very well.The music is rocking especially 'Mast Kalandar' and 'Heyy Babyy'title song.
*** Comment edited because this part of the comment is just the story of the movie ***
The movie is too good.I give it *****=5 stars.
