Why so much hype?

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Really Surprised!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is the first time I've taken the time to actually write movie review here. This is the worst movie I've seen in my life (and I watch a lot). The mainstay of it is insufferably boring and childish, while also throwing in sexist and racist (towards Australian) moments like it's the 1900s. It jumps all over the place in terms of style, tone, characterisation and storyline - doesn't hold together at all. In the hope it would get better later on, I watched it to the end and found the experience stressful and torturous. Avoid. Especially if you're not mentally challenged.

As if one were needed, "Heyy Babyy" is a two-hour-plus remake of the1987 hit "Three Men and a Baby" (which was itself an adaptation of a French film from 1985). This Bollywood production features three swinging bachelors from India who share a swanky apartment in a high class quarter of Sydney, Australia. One day they find an abandoned baby on their doorstep, along with a note declaring that one of the men - it's not stated which - is the girl's father. Naturally, this leads to all kinds of predictable slapstick hijinks as the three inept and bumbling playboys take on the new and challenging role of "fathers" to this adorable tyke.It's hard to convey just how grueling - nay, excruciating - an experience sitting through "Heyy Babyy" turns out to be. What with all the pratfalling and mugging and fast-motion photography, "Heyy Babyy" makes even the most inane Three Stooges short look like a Noel Coward play in comparison. Suffice it to say the script is unbelievably banal, the comic ideas antiquated and poorly executed, and the acting so cheesy and over-the-top that, after only a few minutes' exposure to this drivel, you'll be agreeing with the French as to the comic genius of Jerry Lewis.Yet, the only thing more insufferable than "Heyy Babyy" when it's in a playful mood is "Heyy Babyy" when it's being all high-minded and sanctimonious, cranking up the goo to almost unimaginable proportions, as this "angel sent from God" turns three self-indulgent and immature womanizers into hyper-sensitive and morally responsible young men - and the audience into a bunch of oohing and aahing sentimental slobs.So if your idea of a good time is religious symbolism mixed with poop jokes (and padded out to an unendurable length with endless musical numbers), by all means feel free to indulge yourself in all that "Heyy Babyy" has to offer in that regard. Otherwise, run for your life as far and as fast as you can the moment "Heyy Babyy" appears on a screen near you.

This film may have earned a couple of extra stars if it was not for some distasteful content in the film. The manner that this film dealt with the specific key turning point in the lives of the 3 main male characters at which point they change their feelings towards the baby girl is alien to me as a UK westerner.What starts out as a mild comedy, turns in to horror and disgust, when these 'so called' lovable guys shouted "bitch" at a crying baby girl after which they dump her outside a church where she almost drowns and dies! It's not that I am not used to seeing shocking scenes, but these 2 scenes were completely out of context from the flow of the rest of this film, and left you with nothing but disdain for the 3 main characters and their transformation in to lovable caring father figures.Totally tactless on the part of the director.

I went into this movie fully prepared, it was one of those movies, MOST PEOPLE EITHER LOVE IT OR HATE IT, and I was prepared for any of them.The fact is I had to cut 3 hrs (involves paperwork and college office, you know the drill) and this movie was ideally positioned to service that need.This movie starts out well enough, once again we have a foreign local, English titles, western clothing and hinglish dialogues with entire sentences in pure English.Despite my hatred for the above the start is brilliant, the first song is rocking with the multiple cameos from mostly hot chicks, WHEN THEY MISCHIEVIOUSLY PULL DOWN RIYA SENS TOP I HAD A HEART ATTACK, then the baby comes and we have a loads of R-rated jokes.AND MOST Definitely THE FUNNIEST SCENE IN THE MOVIE WITH THE FLYING DIAPER.When you start at the top the only place left to go is down, and the movie made is somewhat slow progress downwards, not the normal gentle slope even but the kind of up and down ride you would see on financial charts, in between there were some really funny moments like the children beating up Ritiesh.Then the tragedy happens and the melodrama starts, not the subtle kind, but THE KIND OF MELODRAMA THATS MAKES THE CRYING IN KARAN JOHAR MOVIES LOOK SUBTLE, "ITS ALL ABOUT LOVING THE BABY" you see.An entire half hour is dedicated to the reformed men, with a 3rd grade song to boot.AND IM THINKING HEY BABY, WHATS HAPPENING..??!!.Who is this movie, made for? What is the rating of this movie? Why did that scene have to be there? Maybe its for people like me, it has to be, with the hot chicks with the VERY ADULT JOKES, the adulterous carefree men. No no, I've got it wrong this movie is for the kids, I mean it has loads of kiddy jokes, and a few kiddy songs, and look how much the men like the baby, wait whats happening, wrong again this movie is for the women, i don't know how i missed it, the men reform, they love and take care of the child, stay at home to do house-work, THE MEN CRY (nothing turns on women more than to see men that cry, thats why married men suffer so much hehe), oookkkkkkkkkkk this time I've got to be right, this movies for the urban audience in general, i mean everything is in English entire dialogues and scenes are almost in English so it must be for them, but then .......... ....................... women, men, urban, rural, children, adults aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgh.THEN IT HIT ME.THIS MOVIES BEEN MADE FOR EVERYBODY.Not the kind of movie thats so good that everybody will love, but the kind of movie, that looks like cloth thats been stitched with many different colours because the tailor feels that since each colour is a different persons favourite colour if he puts all of them in one place all of them will love them.We all know what such a cloth would like wouldn't it.But ask any woman and she will tell you, "PATCHWORK IS IN RIGHT NOW", and maybe it is, because this movie isn't exactly doing badly.The acting is good, most of the focus is one Akshay, though the others have done well in the limited roles they have, and with whatever limited talent they have to.Im not gay and not normally one to dedicate paragraphs on how people looked, but Ritiesh actually looked gay, Fardeen looked fat,and Vidya looked like a fat aunty with a bad fashion sense. But heres why i clarified that im not gay, Akshay Kumar looked fabulous SRK is looking the best he has ever looked and yet Akshay Kumar just outshone him in the song, im loosing weight and its actually quite an inspiration to see the long term rewards of being fit.The direction and script writing was haphazard as explained earlier, but was the potential was there, with some work Sajid Khan may actually pull of his new career.Technically this film was OK, there were lots of stock shots of Australia which comes with the free shooting that they provide.Songs were OK/bad, save for the title and the item song.In all truly ordinary film, that mostly incites extreme reactions, a few good scenes, are mixed with mostly ordinary and some really bad ones, THE AMOUNT OF MELODRAMA IS ALSO ALARMING IF YOUR NOT PREPARED FOR IT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU Don't ENJOY IT, LIKE I Don't.Watch with correct expectations, its also come to my notice after talking to my friends that this movies not for anyone whos not a hardcore Hindi movie watcher, the occasional watchers have all been disappointed.If you miss it, you probably wont miss anything, but you may not regret watching it either.Watching on TV for free will definitely enhance the experience.-s like patchwork, poor script OK direction, wasted performances and potential, too much melodrama.+/-s scenes for every important audience, you may enjoy the scenes for the many categories.+s Akshay Kumar (close of OD of him though), some really funny scenes, NOT A COPY OF THREE MEN AND.... (for the first time its actually and inspiration).total 5/10 (on absolute terms its more of a 4, but it served its purpose and there's definitely an audience for this film, even i feel i will enjoy the funny scenes, in isolation when channel surfing, hence the higher rating).
