Baby John Twitter reviews: Kalees’ film featuring Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi hit theaters on Christmas. This movie is a remake of Atlee’s 2016 Tamil flick Theri, which starred Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Amy Jackson. Here’s what folks on X (formerly Twitter) are saying about this action-packed drama.
Baby John's review on Twitter
Positive reviews for the film highlighted Varun's fitting performance and how Thaman S's music really enhanced the movie. One user on X said, “Baby John delivers on 'love, pain, and excitement.' Varun nailed the dad/cop vibe, Wamiqa brought charm and lit up the screen, Jackie was a total menace as Nana, and the action was on point. It’s a fun mass masala flick with stylish background music and slick cinematography.”
Another viewer enjoyed Salman Khan’s cameo and the background score, stating, “Salman Khan’s cameo in #BabyJohn is totally worth it! This movie is way better than Rohit Shetty’s Singham series! Thaman’s background music peaked during the interval and climax. He’s the best in the game for massy films!”
A fan of Varun expressed their excitement, saying, “Caught the first day first show @Varun_dvn. You absolutely crushed it! The movie was mind-blowing, especially your unique Baby John look!”
Theri fans are all about the original version
Fans of Theri seem to lean more towards the original rather than the Hindi remake. One user on X mentioned, “#BabyJohnReview It’s tough to get Vijay out of my head, but the elevations and BGM are on point (heart and fire emojis). It’s a remake, but the vibe is still the same.”
Another user pointed out that watching Theri first might spoil the fun a bit, but Baby John is still enjoyable. They said, “In my opinion, it’s a genuine and technically improved remake. Sure, watching Theri first takes away from the experience, but Baby John is still a blast. The emotional moments were even better than the original, and Varun Dhawan really stood out, along with the rest of the cast.”
Not everyone is on board with the remake, with one person calling it a "bad remake." They said, "BAD REMAKE OF A CULT CLASSIC FILM. If you've seen THERI like I have, you probably won't enjoy this one. But if you haven't seen the original with Thalapathy Vijay, it might be okay for a one-time watch. #BabyJohnReview #BabyJohn."
Another user chimed in, saying the remake "lacks the feel." They mentioned, "#BabyJohnReview I was expecting something average. It feels like a total copy-paste, even down to the song choreography. Atlee had a hit with SRK and thought he could turn Varun into an action hero. Seriously, dude, welcome to Bollywood. The original was fantastic, but this one just misses the mark. Save your money; this one's a flop.”
A fan took it up a notch by comparing the two lead actresses, Samantha and Keerthy, saying, “#KeerthySuresh can’t hold a candle to #samantha’s grace.”
