Vanished Baby: Unraveling the Thriller’s Plot
Nivin Pauly’s ‘Baby Girl’ Shocking Review! Malayalam Thriller: Blockbuster or Disaster? Nivin Pauly’s latest Malayalam thriller film, ‘Baby Girl’, has now arrived on SonyLIV for streaming, generating significant interest among audiences, particularly Telugu viewers who eagerly anticipate Malayalam thrillers on OTT platforms. However, despite the initial buzz, the movie largely failed to impress as much as anticipated. Malayalam filmmakers possess a unique specialization in crafting thriller films, often taking a simple premise and elevating it with a brilliant screenplay to captivate audiences. Yet, Nivin Pauly’s ‘Baby Girl’ largely failed to live up to this reputation. The narrative, which revolves around the missing case of a three-day-old baby, proved disappointing due to its weak screenplay and overall writing, despite featuring competent actors.
Regarding the plot of ‘Baby Girl’, Sanal Mathew (Nivin Pauly) works as an attendant in a hospital. As everything proceeds smoothly, a mere three-day-old infant mysteriously vanishes from the maternity ward. Coincidentally, the state’s Chief Minister is visiting the city at the same time, keeping all police officers preoccupied with security arrangements. Consequently, the police commence their investigation without sufficient personnel. The very person who provided a crucial hint about the case soon becomes a suspect. Simultaneously, siblings Ritu and Rishi also become entangled in this mystery. What actually happened to the child? What is Sanal’s role? What is the connection between those siblings and the baby? And what was the baby’s ultimate fate? – that forms the remainder of the film’s plot.
Failed Thriller: Weak Writing, Disappointing Execution
While the music and cinematography of ‘Baby Girl‘ were captivating, the storyline itself left audiences disheartened. The entire film is presented as a story that concludes within a single day. In that sense, while the premise of ‘Baby Girl’ is interesting, its execution on screen fell short. The primary reason for this is weak writing; the depth that a good thriller film should possess was conspicuously absent in this movie’s screenplay. This script, penned by renowned writers like Bobby and Sanjay, did not feel sufficiently robust. ‘Baby Girl’ director Arun Varma was also unable to rectify these shortcomings, resulting in a very flat movie that feels stretched out despite its short runtime. Despite Nivin Pauly delivering a good performance, and even though other actors did justice to their roles, their efforts yielded no significant positive outcome for the film. Nivin Pauly, who recently scored a blockbuster with ‘Sarvam Maya’, ultimately disappointed with ‘Baby Girl’, taking on a role that wasn’t commensurate with his caliber.
In summary, Nivin Pauly’s ‘Baby Girl’ is making waves on OTT with mixed reviews, primarily leaning towards disappointment. While it offers a short, two-hour runtime for those seeking a quick Malayalam thriller this weekend, expectations should be tempered. Stay tuned for more movie updates.
Looking Ahead
Ultimately, ‘Baby Girl’ falls short of blockbuster glory, settling for a largely disappointing reception. Not a disaster, it signals a critical juncture for Nivin Pauly. Malayalam cinema demands fresh narratives. Will his next choice reclaim his undisputed charm? The industry, and his loyal audience, will be watching closely.
