Baby John is closer to the deliberately badly-made, Hindi-dub seeming southern stuff, Ready (2011), Bodyguard (2011), that Salman Khan would throw up a decade-plus ago

Baby John
You only have to experience this film to figure how hilarious, or howlarious it feels, over the first few minutes, before you settle in, when all the actors look, behave and talk coyly, as if Hindi is probably not their main language. And this is actually some sorta South Indian blockbuster type picture, terribly dubbed into Hindi, for a small-town mass audience.
Surely, the language mustn’t matter, when the syntax is strictly South mainstream. At some point, the hero, i.e. Varun Dhawan even breaks into Malayalam.
