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

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 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

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

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

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

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

In Baabul, one feels Bachchan and Hema Malini are being forced to fake the couples camaraderie.
Baabul is filled with superfluous scenes of family bonding, seen mainly through clumsily choreographed songs.

Apun ka Choice
Baabul rests on the strong and dependable shoulders of acting giants like Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee.
Mr. Bachchan is simply superlative in his finely nuanced performance.
Salman Khan exudes natural warmth whenever he comes into a scene.
