Varun Dhawan and Jackie Shroff in Baby John
I’ve been hooked to the Nain Matakka song from Baby John since it released, and it’s probably the only thing I enjoyed during the 2 hour 41 minute runtime of this film. That and two kickass scenes featuring Rajpal Yadav. He delivers one heartfelt monologue about how perpetrators of crime against women mostly go unpunished in this country. In another, he holds his ground against gundas who ask the ‘comedy’ to get out of their way. “Comedy is serious business” – Yadav’s response extracts applause in the movie hall.
