FAQs
Q1: What exactly is Baby John about? Is it actually about a baby named John?
It is quite misleading to call Baby John a story of a baby’s escapades since it is not one at all. It is an action-oriented film where Varun Dhawan plays the role of DCP Satya Verma, who fakes his own death in order to save his daughter from a dangerous politician.
Q2: Why should I watch Baby John on Prime if it didn’t do well in theaters?
It can feel much better when you are having it in your comfort zone, in your pajamas, on your couch. Not only this, you get to see Bollywood stars like Salman Khan and Sanya Malhotra for the subscription money. To that, let me add that you can take a break for snacks during the action sequences and you will not lose anything. That is what we can refer to as a streaming win-win!
Q3: Who’s in the star cast, and what can I expect from their performances?
Imagine Varun Dhawan as an action hero, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi in dramatic roles, Rajpal Yadav in his humorous self and Jackie Shroff being himself. It is like watching a Bollywood party where everyone has come prepared to perform their best and you are comfortably seated at home. The cherry on top? The cameos.
Q4: Is this movie family-friendly entertainment?
Although Baby John is not a story that one would read before going to sleep, it has an interesting plot of a father-daughter relationship spiced with action, drama, and suspense. It is more like a family drama that has thought it fit to flex some muscles and add some action scenes to its repertoire. It is very possible that you will not get the type of family entertainment where the entire cast suddenly bursts into song and dance every five minutes.
