Baby John movie review: Varun Dhawan’s turn as action star makes this headless chicken of a film entertaining

Favourable reviews for the film pointed out how Varun performed his role suitably, as well as how Thaman S’ music worked in the film’s favour. “Baby John packs "pyaar, dard, dhamaal". Varun fairly aced the dad/cop vibes, Wamiqa adds charm and lights up the screen, Jackie as Nana is pure menace, and the action is (fire). A timepass mass masala with stylish BGM and slick cinematography,” read an X user’s film review.

Another person liked Salman Khan’s cameo and the background score, writing, “Salman Khan cameo in #BabyJohn is a full paisa vasool sequence! Baby John as a movie is 100 times better than Rohit Shetty’s Singham universe! Thaman BGM peaked in interval block and climax scene. The BEST in the business for massy films!”

A Varun fan thought he ‘killed it’ in the role, writing, “Watched it first day first show @Varun_dvn. You have killed it. The movie was mind blowing and specially the never seen before Baby John look of yours is.”
