Baby John’ Review: A Disappointing Finale to 2024 in Hindi Cinema

The movie revolves around John Mathur, also known as “Baby John” by his gang due to his baby-faced charm and sly wit. A small-time con artist trying to go straight, John finds himself drawn into a larger-than-life heist that could either redeem his past or destroy his future. The premise is intriguing, but the execution is somewhat lackluster, with a bloated screenplay that seems to struggle to keep the focus.

From the very beginning, Baby John feels lost in its identity. It keeps switching between slapstick comedy, melodramatic family moments, and high-octane action sequences, often feeling more like a patchwork of ideas than a cohesive narrative. The lack of tonal consistency leaves the audience confused and disengaged.
