Baby Movie Analysis:
In schools and colleges, we read about other love stories in the news and often watch them on TV. Was Sai Rajesh inspired by them? or not All those stories appeared in his story. He wrote strong scenes and hard-hitting emotional characters from those stories. Most of the youth see themselves on screen. The director gave a form to the issues happening in society with 'Baby'.
The story of 'Baby' moves slowly till the pre-interval. One gets the feeling of watching a love story in school for a long time. But... in between good songs impress us. Near the pre-interval, the actual story, the conflict started in the story. A few movies may come to mind along with 'Premeset'. However... the emotional conflict between the heroine and the background music makes the movie stand out.
From pre-interval to interval Vaishnavi Chaitanya's scenes with Anand Devarakonda, and Viraj Ashwin... how about after the interval? That aroused interest. Whistles and claps are guaranteed for those scenes in theatres. After the interval, the story took an emotional turn. The song 'Premmantha...' and the scenes in the background make you watch in silence. What happens after that? Makes you think. Flagship scenes are emotionally charged. A father's love is well explored.
The real strength of 'Baby' is Interval, Climax & Speeches, Songs! A few words in Sai Rajesh's writings explode like atom bombs in theatres. Pawan Kalyan also showed admiration for Trivikram. Sai Rajesh wrote the scenes to represent the characters and society more than those characterizations. There are more chances of women liking the scene written about making girls heart by saying 'la...ja'. With three characters leading the film, words are not. As a director, Sai Rajesh has shown mastery in that matter. The songs and background music are good. The camera work is beautiful. It would have been better if the length was reduced a little more. Construction values are high.
Baby Movie Actors Performance:
New Anand Deverakonda in 'Baby'. The Anand we have seen so far is different, Anand is different in this movie. His acting was natural. What about the auto drivers in Basti, the young people who fell in love in class 10? They looked and acted like that. The emotional scenes are well done. This is Anand Deverakonda's best movie as an actor. Viraj Ashwin made a name for himself as an actor in his earlier films. Once again good performance. Viraj has done well as a young man born in a wealthy family. Emotions were also expressed.
Basti girl, glamor girl... Vaishnavi Chaitanya not only showed variation in terms of looks but was also impressed as an actress. The pre-interval scene, however, was brilliantly done. This is a good debut for Vaishnavi Chaitanya as a heroine. The roles of Harsha and Satvik as the hero's friends are limited. Both did well while there. Naga Babu's acting brought a sense of humor to the father's role. His performance in an important scene is impressive.
Finally: 'No one can hit the heart harder than us' - Vaishnavi Chaitanya's dialogue in the movie 'Baby'. It's true... some words in 'Baby' hit the hearts of the audience. Makes a strong impression. Written and directed by Sai Rajesh, there are powerful scenes and a story that keeps society in front of its eyes. The songs touch the heart. The hero and heroine gave fantastic performances. 'Baby' is a movie that will be remembered even after coming out of the theatres.
