Heyy Babyy....u rock in pieces

definitely a movie which should have been produced by Yashraj films since it has its share of funny and emotional moments as does all Yashraj's mushy mushy love stories have.....the comic scenes are good (excellent at places) but the emotional sequences are a downer...typical bollywood cliches

Sajid Khan who himself is a comedian is not able to handle the tear-jerking scenes well and most of the on-screen ongoings and dialogues seem repeated....but the funny moments in the movie will surely bring the house down and smile on everyone's faces....

the movie starts off really well with the title track...amongst the best videos Bollywood has ever come up with ;).....you need to see it why I say that....definitely this would be one of the most downloaded video songs.....Om Shanti Om will have a big task to match up with this song (it has 35 actor/actresses in that song).....

Some of the scenes which stand out are
  • Title track with 15 hottest babes in Bollywood
  • Trio trying to wipe the potty of the baby
  • Department store track in which Akki is searching for baby food
  • Kids bashing up Riteish...watch out Riteish in his typical Maharashtrian form
  • Car sequence in which Fardeen is driving the car slower than the joggers
  • Parimal Tripathi episode
  • Raj-Simran episode
Songs are peppy with the title track leading the proceedings...Mast Kalandar too is a racy number so is the video (check out pony tailed SRK in this video)....Jaane bhi de and Meri Duniya are hummable situational numbers....Dholna is a typical Yashraj number

Akki is at his best yet again...everyone knows that he is too good in comic scenes but he has handled emotional scenes also with aplomb...Vidya emotes well during the climax....just one concern...she seems to be putting a lot of weight and the director is trying to hide that thru her costumes....Fardeen is ok but he excels in Parimal Tripathi role...Riteish as usual is totally dependable and he is a master for such kinda roles....his Jai Maharahstra antics will surely find audience's favor....Boman and Anupam act well....Babyyy is too cute....

overall I would give the film 3/5 (1 point less because of bromide emotional sequences)
