A good idea gone to waste

daniel schut - imdb.com
I found Baabul a B-category movie with an A-list-casting. The story, about a young girl being widowed, and the challenges she faces to try and get married again, is really an interesting idea, even though I am not sure whether it... Full review
Why did they make a movie like that???

Really, if they wanted to show that widows can remarry then they should have made it like this : Even though Sallu dies, Rani gets over him in 5-6 yrs. But throughout the whole ordeal John was with her, helping her... Full review

This movie has a lack of excitement and energy and brings us to the brink of boredom during the first 1 hour 45 minutes, after this initial part the rest of the movie is very well composed and the actors have... Full review

Here we have a quite modern family, son staying in U.S.for 7 years and all that, with the most modern cars, a big luxury house with sprawling lawns, domestic help at the finger tips, and the father and son duo calling... Full review

This film has absolutely nothing new to offer. Not in terms of story or treatment or dialogs...The dialogs are pathetic and the romantic situations juvenile. I felt the actors were all okay except of course John Abraham who is simply terrible.... Full review
What Baabul? Call me Buddy
Dec 14, 2006
Tony Tharakan - imdb.com
I can't believe this movie wasn't titled 'Buddy' - that's how father-and-son Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan keep referring to each other throughout this predictable film with a widow-remarriage theme. Ravi Chopra suffers from a Baghban hangover and tries to replicate... Full review
Long on content, Short on Time & Expression...
Dec 12, 2006
Rahul Tiwari - imdb.com
It's clear here that Ravi Chopra has tried to capitalize on success of Baghbaan. He has tried to collect a similar cast & similar slot but not the plot. The story is too long expressed in too short of a time.... Full review
Typical Family Drama
Dec 11, 2006
starstruck52 - imdb.com
Being somewhat negative about family films, I was apprehensive to watching this movie.I did not like HAHK, and K3G was good. Baghban was overdone. However, this movie surprised me and is based on a daughter-in-law and father. The movie is not... Full review
Classic Bollywood melodrama

Darren Davis - imdb.com
A reviewer once said about Bollywood that "if it's a colour, use it" and Baabul is anything if not colourful. There are lots of what could be euphemistically described as vibrant colours on screen at any given time. The plot, such... Full review
