Heyy Babyy
I am not only writing a review in this post of the Movie by the same name done by the GREATEST (Its Sarcastic) Director of all time – Sajid Khan but also a condolence write-up for the death of cinema and the sad growth of Crap.
Yes, this movie in a nutshell is all about Crap. It starts off about crap being hit on Akshay, there is a kid that craps all along and the story is CRAP. What the Fuck was Sajid thinking when he DID this movie? Was he thinking he will collectively DO the audience also. I mean if he has a mid life crisis and cannot pull a girl, then at least let him go and sort out things personally but he cannot really thrust all his views on all of us.
The story revolves around 3 men who have had too much of a good life. They are able to get any girl they see and the movie itself starts off with a item song with all the item bombs of Bollywood and most probably when this song was being shot all the other movies had to be shut off since all of them only revolve around Item Songs. The movie then moves on to the rather wonderful life these 3 DUDES are having in Australia. YES this move is completely shot in Australia. If it was shot in Alaska it would still be a crappy movie but nevertheless, let me continue
So these guys who are working as a stuffed toy, a betting guy and a club manager live in a large posh apartment. Forget about reality and all that claptrap. Its all about showing the big life and nothing else
Well the movie then plods about them getting a baby in their midst and they hate it and cannot handle it. We hence get to see a torture of vaudeville like shots and chaplinesque humor but not even remotely funny. Rather its jarring and quite infuriating at times and you slowly start to get bored. As they are unhappy with the kids, they decided to lose it but OF COURSE, these lads till now who have not shown any character get a conscience and at once rush back to the kid in the midst of heavy rain in sunny Australia and the kid is diagnosed with pneumonia and suddenly they are praying to their respective gods. The KID of course gets all right and its nothing but a miracle as the Doctor clearly verifies it. Of course since very few people in Bollywood are educated, so the doctors in their movie are also not and only attribute everything wonderful to God
Now its all about loving your Children and a horrible tirade of mushy pink and blue song passes us by which shows the 3 Dads in total love with the child.
Oh…BTW they have lost their job and still can have a fantastic life in Sunny Australia, don’t ask me how. The Dole system over there must be really good and the unemployed are looked after really well by the government.
As these 3 Dads are lost in the “Sea of Love”, they are rudely woken up by the mother (Vidya Balan) who takes the baby back. They hence now fight for the child and YES its a love child of one of the men. If you are getting very curious and the suspense is tight about who the Dad is, no awards to the right guess of Akshay Kumar.
He also suddenly realizes that he loves the mother and well all is well that ends well and they get married.
Now the questions that cropped up in my mind which if Sajid come across this post can answer it.
1. What right do you have to criticize each and every one of the movie directors if you cannot even direct a remake correctly. Remember you used to call Mahesh Bhat, Mahesh Buttocks Saab and you have no Saaransh / Arth in you.
2. What was Riiiitiiieeesh (do not know what his name is as per numerology these days) & Fardeen doing in this movie ? I remember a Caucasian (White Guy) in Om Jai Jagadish who was tagging along with Fardeen and after 5 years of the movie, still do not understand why he was there. The same now applies to these 2 in HEYYYYY BABYYYYY. Why where they there? They were not funny, did not add any value to the sotry or did not act. Why were they there??
3. You come on practically every channel and berate movies done by everybody and you make it look like you are above all of them, then please tell me how was your movie only full of cliches and I mean it was itself a cliche.
My Afterthoughts on this now are that Sajid should not talk anymore and just because he has access to producers stop making movies altogether and start to actually read maybe or simply stay at home. He has a sense of humor but so many of us have and those personal jokes we have with our friends cannot all just be stitched and made into a movie.
Sorry if this review is too long but the problem is my earlier post was about family guys getting projects even if they are not good and this simply added to a list of film family guys who make really bakwaas movies.

Deepak,today seems to be one of those days where kinda synchrodestiny is at play..We got connected through your earlier post and now this..Heyy Baby what’s happening ! Frankly telling you, as Forrest Gump remarked ’shit, it happens.’ And it happened in Australia..I wish it had taken place in Alaska.Maybe it would not feel that gooey..eeeks.
At least you had the guts to write about this movie..An act of courage indeed!But someone had to bell the cat and you did it..Sajid in brief has no clue of cinema..He may know ways and means to string together a film but about cinema it is big zero..He may have the tact to acknowledge and say love you SRK in the end– but thats it. Watching this movie today made me think whether all that gyaan on other makers’ films was Sajid’s own or he was just following a script..I wish someone blows a whistle..
Deepak i agree with you totally as to the asinine way this whole so-called excuse of a film has been made..And Sajid went on Vinay-Ranvir Aur Kaun show saying he never copies..Yes Sajid watching your baby confirms that you can’t even copy!
Though i slightly differ from you as far as Fardeen Khan is concerned..In this movie for a change at least he looked and acted animated..
Rest of Heyy Baby is not worth pondering whether to be or not to be!
100% true bro…
Its unfortunate that guyz like Sajid khan with eyes n ears of mighty in industry…rape the opportunity while talented guys run post to pillar to get their project listened…We need more UTV..prodctns…
SAJID if u listen…you are just plain lucky…dont take it as merit….
one more thing about originality……this movie is as original as Rakhi Sawant is virgin…
Nanhe Farishte(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0148519/) plus some crap and foolish double meaning jokes = Hey Baby
Deepak, yaar when reviewing a film, whether or not you hated it, is it really necessary to give away all the major plot twists?? If you call it crap, fine your entitled too. But realize that the film just released and there are still some people out there who might want to see it…
Hey,
I donno if its just me or there are actually others who dont think that highly of Sajid Khan’s sense of humour… I have personally felt that even as an anchor or as a host his jokes have always seemed too lewd and contrived to me. High-school humour almost. I can for surely put my hands up and say that a Cyrus Broacha is all about witty repartees and smart comments, but Sajid Khan has never actually got me chuckling.
Also about his oft-mentioned cinema knowledge, its one thing going on air and talking about Heyy Baby is as much a remake of “Three men and a baby” as is “Tehzeeb” of “Autumn Sonata”… Cinema knowledge is one thing. Understanding the essence of a gr8 film is another.
So, when here ppl are gaping over how Mr. Sajid Khan could make such an unfunny film,I could always sense the bubble bursting for Sajid.
Pure unadultrated crap! The tragedy is that all those double-meaning jokes are what the Indian audiences seem to crave. Just like his sister, he might have the key to what it takes to be big in bollywood- Shah Rukh, Nadiadwala production house, and a script full of offensive humor. Hail Farah!
the promos had warned me about how (un) funny the movie would be ..i really think that thi smovie started as a remake ( when sajid khan watched three men and a baby , he wondered how similar the premise is to a very little known hindi film nanha farishta and he decided to take a little from here and there, so that he is not caught stealing
)and then somewhere along sajid khan decided to do something different …how i wish he hadnt and stuck to the original …i wouldnt even mind him ripping off only if he had the guts to admit it.
@tony mera naam , i dont think deepak did too bad by revealing plot details ,because plot details of hey baby became public in the year 1987 :d
Hi Dude
I can understand your frustration. No i actually saw your frustration..Remember Vinay and I were sitting next to you. The whole movie had crap written all over it, the day promos starting airing. My mom asked me if this was three men and a baby and she remembered seeing it on DD 20 yrs back.
Tony Bhai , there is no plot in the movie and I apologize on behalf of Deepak for revealing the mind blowing story line.
Actually I felt this movie is the longest running Ad campaign for a Condom. If Akshay had been careful in the first place ..all that baby shit could have been avoided.(oops, Spoiler)
BTW, I think this movie will run and make money and Sajid(pervert)Khan will go on to direct another movie.
Hey Guys, Ive not seen the movie, but there do exist this genre of ppl, who simply find such stuff funny. I find it outrageous. We need more UTV,Pritish Nandy, RGV movies. Hope the guys in these production houses get the message
Comment number 5 by Sreehari is spot on.
This guy was always an insufferable chutiya and now the whole world knows it.
An afterthought: At least give Sajid Khan the credit of reinventing a genre :From slapstick to SLAPSHIT.. Infact there is so much slapping in the movie–bimbettes slapping threesome, threesome slapping each other,jilted wife slapping rogue husband and Sajid Khan himself hurling a slap in the face of the audience..If you just count the number of slaps in two and half hours and expand it in episodic time-frame i think this movie will beat the shit out of K serials in slapping department..Shit!
Gawd… I need to see this… Sirjee and Betelal need to see this… and have Sajid Khan change his show “Ikke Pe Ikka” to “Shit pe Shit”
No matter if it was not original, or Sajid Khan doesn’t have an understanding of cinema, I enjoyed the movie. It made me laugh. We aren’t always expecting a very meaningful serious flick. Crap can also be good sometimes (ever heard of kabad se jugad), and this crap is good.

Harsha, nice comment regarding that condom ad. I forgot to notice the names of the sponsors, Kamasutra could have been one of them.
The movie is not a great work of art, it’s a collage, made out of stuff from dustbins in Australia. But if Partner can be a Hit, this movie is a blockbuster. and I think that’s one of the best example of kabad se jugad.
Haven’t seen the movie yet but also agree with SmokerJoe. If this movie had released 10 yrs. back when I was in an Engineering campus, I can almost miss the fun which I would have had watching the movie with my wingies…
Too many filmi intellectuals here with too little patience…
sajid khan to me is just a big mouth.he looks like a cheap prostitute(he has gynecomasta).he has been criticzing every director n actor n just look wat a fuckin film he has made.he should quit the industry.
how about Dil Aashna Hai?.. it sounds similar to that too?
Deepak
Khalid Mohd and now Sajid Khan, should realize, its quite easy to sit and trash a movie, and make fun of people, but not that easy to come up with a decent effort urself.
“So these guys who are working as a stuffed toy, a betting guy and a club manager live in a large posh apartment. Forget about reality and all that claptrap. Its all about showing the big life and nothing else.”
Hmm i wonder about that too, they must be earning a fortune.Coz most of the time, in abroad, we get to live in small rabbit hutches, which are totally cramped.
Well, well, Sajid Khan puts on his director’s hairband and delivers a film filled with puke, KJo inspired songs (and a sex scene), more puke, his secret love for SRK, and a story that makes me want to puke all over Sajid K and Sajid N, caramel popcorn et al. This is the worst big budget film to get a release in the last two weeks. Sure it’s filled with some moments that pull on the heart strings and a few non-potty humor elements but that’s about all that is good here as the rest of it is just superfluous crapola.
This is called family entertainment? FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT??? I’d love to see Nadiadwala sit down and watch this trash with his family. The first half is chock full of cringe worthy and distasteful material in the form of the title song (the three amigos having a good time slapping the asses of some of Bollywood’s wannabe actresses and Riteish actually holding on to Riya Sen’s assets), a graphic scene where the baby gets CPR and then has to be defibrillated (given electric shocks to the heart), the boys uttering obscenities all over the place and going so far as to call the baby a bitch (just plain ugly in my book), Akshaye trying to show a lady in the supermarket just how big his baby is (boob gag, not funny), and etcetera.
The makers of this film need to be spanked hard. Anyone know people who worked on this film especially the core team? Please, if you do, then let them know that there are better ways to lutao their izzat in the eyes of the sensible cinemagoer.
Deepak, “What right do you have to criticize each and every one of the movie directors if you cannot even direct a remake correctly.” very wel put.. AND SADDEST part is that they get a few morons to act in their films and they get some producers support only because of their so called ‘CLOUT’ They have made story telling a maggie noodle making affair. Its sad disgusting and …am loss of words…
“I remember a Caucasian (White Guy) in Om Jai Jagadish who was tagging along with Fardeen and after 5 years of the movie, still do not understand why he was there. The same now applies to these 2 in HEYYYYY BABYYYYY. Why where they there?”
=)) ROFL…
Btw, what did you guys think of Vidya in the film? Mid-Day reviewer reckons she was miscast….

:(:(:( Ye reviews padh ke mere ko tension aa raha hain baby…
what the heck!!!! :((
i have never walked out of a movie. with the super expensive multiplex prices and the inflated popcorn charges, the least i expect is to get 3 hours of air con time out of my ticket money. but this fucking film was such CRAP. the worst film that that zit filled pimple faced pimp sajid khan could have made. i never expected him to make a masterpiece. but i thought he d come up with something fun if not intelligent. another david dhawan genre of light hearted totally watchable comedies. but this is NONSENSE. the chutiya-as so well described by someone on this board, is nothing but a wanker. he needs to lose weight, cut his hair, do something about his zits, look less like a puss filled cavity about to explode AND GROW A BRAIN. i agree with most of the reactions here-he was NEVER funny. always just a crude lewd fucked up prick with contacts. in fact, the only reason he ever got work was because his sister was farah. otherwise he was totally un original and unfunny always. hes proved here in heyyyyy babyyy that he should stick to pimping and the rest of the jhole that his connected group of friends indulge in. because film making OR ANYTHING RELATED TO CREATIVITY IS NOT HIS THING.
and yes, this time i did walk out of the hall. to hell with the rs 180 ticket. life is too short to have to endure such trash…money will always come again…
Rishi you are so angry man!! but well said, bravo!!
Sajid Khan really should be spanked- how on earth did he manage to make a heavenly maiden like Vidya Balan look so bad?! Vidya really needs to fire her stylist immediately- and Manish Malhotra, what were you thinking? Now everyone will say that Vidya should stick to Indian clothes which is total crap- anyone would look idiotic in those clothes…OK, well- enough- I LOVE Vidya Balan…period.
not angry on a personal level suchita. just pissed off that the film industry has become a club of the connected. its about those who rule and their lackeys ruling the roost. very frustrating from a creative point of view!
AGREE COMPLETELY!
I find it very funny that most of the reviewers on here love to tear apart anything that the masses may like and then all the other posters join in agreement without having seen the movie. They imagine that this might make them look good in the eyes of the filmmakers that write their blogs on this site. Since I have not seen this movie yet I decided to do a search on reviews and 9 out of 10 reviewers(bloggers too)gave the movie 3 or more stars and mentioned that it really has nothing to do with 3 Men & a Baby. Maybe the movie is shit, but I like to see my shit first before I wipe it…
“Sajid Khan really should be spanked”
Jahan, maybe its the audience who needs a bit of spanking. AKS and now this i believe are going to be hits at the BO, and the sad part is, people like us will be dubbed elitist, snobbish and what not.
This reminds me of the late 80’s, when the good movies, did not do too well, and crappy stuff like Nagina, Hukumat, were big hits. Do i see history repeating itself?
NoVaDJ
Exactly,first watch the movie–stars or no stars..and then say it with conviction..And yes,its not 3 Men & a Baby..Most of the reviewers and commentators have not harped on that..What they are sharing is their angst against such trash being made and then being manipulated and forced to swallow it with massive media blitz and planted publicity.
my take:
If u have seen TV shows
this is a delayed response. read all comments on Heyy Babyy. wow- people really have got quite upset. feel its just another film trying to entertain. sure, its ok, not great, but not that bad either. did provide for some good laughs. i really enjoyed the new pair of akshay-vidya. they have great chemistry. yes, vidya’s western clothes by manish malhotra were not great, but she looked AWESOME in all the indian saris. she is beautiful and talented, enjoyed watching her in this film, or any film for that matter. she lends dignity to Hey Baby, and the movie becomes better once she arrives. vidya rocks!
Great Review Deepak Really appericate ur honest opinions
But U shudnt be so critical about this movie i knw Sajid was better as anchor Doing all idoitic stuff
What every hating is the kinda of rating this movie got
Glamsham 5 stars
Indiafm 4 stars
Nothing great about this movie – Comedy in patches
Great Work Deepak Keep it up
@Sreehari – I completely agree with you about Sajid Khan. He has always managed to put me off and his brand of humor is lewd and cheap. I don’t know how the masses are lapping this movie up..Why can’t we raise the bar on good cinema instead of patting our selves for mediocrity and crap films.. Not all good cinema is about being thought provoking and serious. There have been great movies made before that are light hearted and provide mindless entertainment. Chupke Chupke is one such classic that comes to mind.
