Overall Rating: Nuts
Not bad, not bad! Run Baby Run was loaded with suspense, there was no way to tell the end from the beginning as we were suspecting everyone.
Overall, the story was gripping, it’s just that the unfolding of the mystery and the acting were ok
~Still Worth Watching~
Delicious
—One good thing that Run Baby Run did not do was waste time. A few minutes into the opening scenes, we were already taken to the moment Thara, the strange woman, entered Sathya’s life.
From there, it was a series of intriguing sequences that fueled the mystery around Thara (Aishwarya Rajesh): Who was she? What did she want? Who was she hiding from? Could she be trusted? Why was she afraid? Was she lying or telling the truth? etc.
As these questions ran through our minds, we didn’t wanna miss a second, and just like Sathya (RJ Balaji), we also wanted to unveil the person(s) pulling the strings in the background
—We appreciated Sathya’s pure spirit and selflessness, despite all his misfortunes, he still empathized with the innocent and insisted on making the wrongs right. Something we seldom see nowadays
Bland
—With a title like ‘Run Baby Run’, we were waiting to see a chase, people running for their lives, or some form of running, yet there was none 🤔
—The CGI visuals were highly noticeable (e.g. Sathya’s apartment complex) which hurt the realism of the story. Additionally, the cinematography was plain, it didn’t elevate the film’s quality
—Acting, in general, was passable: RJ was the same from beginning to end, we didn’t see much enthusiasm for his role
—The uncovering of the truth was executed in a typical way that wasn’t thought-provoking and the lack of a parallel narrative rendered the film monotonous
