Heyy Babyy

Plot synopsis:
Arush Mehra (Akshay Kumar) lives a fairly wealthy lifestyle in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia with roommates Tanmay Joglekar (Ritesh Deshmukh) and Ali Haider (Fardeen Khan). Arush works for a popular dance club, while Tanmay entertains children as 'Eddy Teddy', and Ali takes care of their apartment. Mostly he watches cricket and does betting on it. All three are womanizers and usually end up sleeping with different women. One day, they find a baby girl (Juanna Sanghvi) outside their door with a note instructing them to take care of her, since one of them is her father. The three men go to all the women they dated and slept with, but none claims the baby is theirs.
The men try to take care of the baby, but she becomes a huge pain. So, they drop her off at a house near a church. They the set of for a Christmas party. They are all thinking of the girl. A big rainstorm occurs, the baby develops an illness after being caught in the rain. The three men stay with the baby in the hospital, realizing how much they love her. She recovers, and the guys become changed men. They love her, pamper her, and grow an attachment towards her. They name her Angel. One morning, a woman named Isha (Vidya Balan) comes to take Angel back, claiming the baby to be her daughter. The guys are shocked as Arush tells them about his past.
One year ago, Arush travelled to Delhi to attend his cousin Arjun's wedding. There, he met Isha Sahni, who also resides in Australia. He won her over and they spent the night together. Shortly after, Isha caught him in a compromising situation with Devika Sharma (Sindhura Gadde), Isha's friend, so the couple split up. It was not Arush's fault as Devika forced herself on top of him. Arush returned to Sydney and forgot about the incident.
The guys find it very difficult to live without Angel. Arush ends up challenging Isha to marry someone faithful within seven days who will accept Angel as a daughter. If she's unsuccessful, she will have to give Angel back to him. They sign a contract to finalise the deal. The men worry that they might lose the bet since Isha is beautiful and wealthy. Arush plans with Tanmay, Ali and Bharat, who is Isha's father in order to keep Angel with him.
His first attempt involves Ali posing as a botany professor named Parimal Tripathi who speaks very pure Hindi. Bharat is impressed by Parimal by this. They manage to get through a few days of the week until one day Isha asks him about marriage for the next day. After Isha says this, Ali talks to Arush and Tanmay who tell him to go to Disneyland where Ali gets Bharat attacked. He is stopped from further efforts by Tanmay in the 'Eddy Teddy' costume. Bharat decides that Tanmay is the right man for Isha. Tanmay, Arush and Ali make plans to stop Isha from marrying someone else. As the contract is about to terminate, Isha somehow manages to find out the truth that she has been cheated by her father, Tanmay, Ali and most of all Arush.
Isha goes with Angel to her private jet to go somewhere very far because she has lost the deal. As she is about to leave she is stopped by some cops because Ali and Tanmay called them. As they are arguing, Arush turns up showing Isha the contract and tearing it up indicating that Isha now has every right over Angel. But before the three men leave heartbroken, Arush says that a child needs a mother the most but it also needs a father. Just as they are leaving, Angel says her first word "Dada", but nevertheless Isha takes her away in the aeroplane.
The three men are depressed as they assume that they may never see Angel again until they are surprised to see her on their doorstep. Isha finally admits her love for Arush and the film ends with their marriage taking place, and angel's photoshoot.

Review:
Thought process as you watch "Hey Babyy":: First-half:: Is it the same Sajid Khan who directed the weakest segment of Darna Zaroori Hain?
Fardeen Khan, loved him in his Chupke-Chupke attire and of course the take it slowly episode.Ritiesh Deshmukh, dependable as usual and IMO he should stop getting slapped in every other movie.
And finally of course, being Farah Khan's sibling Hey Baby has a miniature parade of Bollywood faces in the title song, only fairer sex but..
Come on guys, making a movie on a subject involving an eight month old movie, and getting the right expressions when necessary is a tough task.Also, it featured Akshay Kumar, arguably one of the most versatile actors of this generation.The combo, along with Rietesh and Fardeen, does well in tickling the funny bone, at most of the places.Now, u may ask why didn't it get a 10/10, if the script is well-essayed and actors of such talent give their best?????The answer lies in the screenplay......Ya, couldn't resist a yawn at some places, especially in the second half.The movie kicks off very well(the title track is scorching).But post-intermission portions become really heavy at times.It again picks up though towards the climax,coming to a predictable end.The music is very peppy,the cinematography captures Australia well, though there are very few outdoor scenes.Coming to the cast, Akshay Kumar once again proves why he's one of the most bankable stars today.Flawless acting, with humour and sorrow expressed perfectly.Rietesh masters his supporting role quite well, Fardeen still has lots to do with his dialogue delivery.Vidya Balan is wasted mostly, what was Sajid thinking when he casted him for a role lasting only 30 min....Seriously,Vidya has to start thinking about the roles she's doin these days, whether it's Guru,Salaam-e-ishq aur Eklavya.Boman Iraani is good, though under-utilised.
The story as everyone knows is a horrible variation of the original Trois hommes et un couffin which was hollywooded into 3 men and a baby.The second half has some good scenes by Akshay kumar but not worthy enough to be called as "Saving grace".
What I hated about this film: too many sexual innuendos and jokes, the Australian actors were annoying, The scenes where they try to win over Vidiya's character were so boring and not even funny.
Anyway, people are considering this movie as a comedy film.
First half was good it really made me laugh & cry but in the second half when Vidia Balan came then got quite boring for some reason maybe because she spoiled it even Shah Rukh Khan's special appearance couldn't save it.There is nothing new it's just the same old comedy and makes no difference whether you watch it or not.
Music is OK the only good songs are the title song, Hey Baby by the Girl Band and Jaane Bhi De. 2007 is not a good year for Bollywood movies as 2006 e.g. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Don, Krrish, Dhoom 2.
Akshay Kumar and Ritesh Deshmukh sounds a good combination for a comedy movie and that is the reason I went for the movie (promos also looked promising).
But it turned out to be a great disaster in all departments be it acting, direction (extremely idiotic) or screenplay.The way characters of 3 stars in the movie was developed was bad.
I think Sajid Khan needs to see Bheja Fry to understand that by doing stupid actions and creating childish situation, you cannot make someone laugh (though there will be people who will enjoy it).
Vidya Balan, Bomman Irani were a complete waste in the movie.This proves a point that if you are a star kid or from the industry it is easy to make a movie, get number of actors/actresses to do friendly appearances (which again was a waste) and boast on TV as if you are making the best movie ever seen.
Light hearted comedy...fun to watch...the guys have a definite chemistry and and the comic timing is hilarious.
Of course this is a new genre of Bollywood movies...comedy which is gaining popularity don't go looking for depth ...and sure it is a rip off the Hollywood movie three men and a baby but still I really liked the chemistry between Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Ritesh Deshmukh..the dialog are quite witty too...the movie starts off quite well and the scenes where the three guys are trying to handle the baby are quite hilarious...some kudos are due to the director Sajid Khan for keeping a good grip...Vidya Balan looks lovely too...and the just check out the cameo appearance of the great SRK and guess what he has a pony tail...all in all a good comedy:).
This is a brilliant film but not recommended for family viewing, its got comedy,emotions n love, But above all its totally 'Unpredictable' you don't know around the corner,its full of surprises!
Akshay Kumar n d Lads do a great job and vidya does her magic, well done to sajid khan for a successful movie !!
Based or stolen from THREE MEN AND A BABY this awful rip off with wobble head disco tracks actually manages to turn already idiotic oafs into hateful cretinous characters in the appalling cruelty shown to this baby in this dumb film.
As if one were needed, "Heyy Babyy" is a two-hour-plus remake of the1987 hit "Three Men and a Baby" (which was itself an adaptation of a French film from 1985).
Suffice it to say the script is unbelievably banal, the comic ideas antiquated and poorly executed, and the acting so cheesy and over-the-top that, after only a few minutes' exposure to this drivel, you'll be agreeing with the French as to the comic genius of Jerry Lewis.Yet, the only thing more insufferable than "Heyy Babyy" when it's in a playful mood is "Heyy Babyy" when it's being all high-minded and sanctimonious, cranking up the goo to almost unimaginable proportions, as this "angel sent from God" turns three self-indulgent and immature womanizers into hyper-sensitive and morally responsible young men - and the audience into a bunch of oohing and aahing sentimental slobs.So if your idea of a good time is religious symbolism mixed with poop jokes (and padded out to an unendurable length with endless musical numbers), by all means feel free to indulge yourself in all that "Heyy Babyy" has to offer in that regard.
The dialogs are not only explicit, they are vulgar, of low standards and do not add to the story.The use of explicit material is becoming more common on the Indian cinema nowadays and so many people may not find this a big deal but I think this movie went a little past that too.
So, this movie is for those who like slapstick and don't care about acting or poor jokes.
I don't watch much bollywood movies, only a select few which my friends tell me are very good.
The comedy part essentially lasts for the first half an hour or 45 minutes of the movie and is okay, not anything new or hilarious, after that, it's all the same old typical bollywood story with emotions and sad sobs thrown in.
The acting is good in the comedy scenes where it is needed.
You can easily skip this one if you're not one of those people who just have to watch every low or hi budget movie bollywood churns out..
this movie is an original and is a typical Bollywood comic flick at times its at par with some of the better comedies of Hollywood.
Hi my name is Aaron osahan here is my review of the movie This movie was so entertaining but it's really good story-line good comedy good romance good everything Akshay Kumar was superb ritiesh was hilarious fardeen is fine vidya is brilliant Songs are good Nice comedy by boman he was brilliant anupam was superb shahrukh khan had the most impressive epic cameo appearance ever My rating is 7/10.
This is the worst movie I've seen in my life (and I watch a lot).
Some of the films include blockbusters like "Sarkar , Lagaan..etc".Overall the movie is worth to be seen at least once by all movie goers .And yes the baby is also cute !!!!.
The main problem is that Sajid Khan couldn't make up his mind whether he wanted to make Hey Babyy a comedy or a drama, which results in an uneasy mix of both.
Now onto the best aspect of Hey Babyy, the songs are tremendous, my favourites being Jaane bhi de and Mast Kalandar(which has a guest appearance by Shah Rukh Khan).
The moment i got to know that "Sajid Khan" was directing the film, i had already lost any hopes of the movie being any good anyways because he already has a very idiotic, blunt and stunted sense of humor and such a guy making a whole comedy movie.....Still i took my chances!
What more of a disaster can one expect!...the guy didn't disappoint, he not only created a stupid piece of cinema, made look the actors foolish, screwed up the screenplay, senseless direction & not only this but ruined even the script which was clearly like almost every Bollywood Movie nowadays lifted form a Hollywood original....well in this case it was "Three Men and A Baby"...
I went into this movie fully prepared, it was one of those movies, MOST PEOPLE EITHER LOVE IT OR HATE IT, and I was prepared for any of them.The fact is I had to cut 3 hrs (involves paperwork and college office, you know the drill) and this movie was ideally positioned to service that need.This movie starts out well enough, once again we have a foreign local, English titles, western clothing and hinglish dialogues with entire sentences in pure English.Despite my hatred for the above the start is brilliant, the first song is rocking with the multiple cameos from mostly hot chicks, WHEN THEY MISCHIEVIOUSLY PULL DOWN RIYA SENS TOP I HAD A HEART ATTACK, then the baby comes and we have a loads of R-rated jokes.AND MOST Definitely THE FUNNIEST SCENE IN THE MOVIE WITH THE FLYING DIAPER.When you start at the top the only place left to go is down, and the movie made is somewhat slow progress downwards, not the normal gentle slope even but the kind of up and down ride you would see on financial charts, in between there were some really funny moments like the children beating up Ritiesh.Then the tragedy happens and the melodrama starts, not the subtle kind, but THE KIND OF MELODRAMA THATS MAKES THE CRYING IN KARAN JOHAR MOVIES LOOK SUBTLE, "ITS ALL ABOUT LOVING THE BABY" you see.An entire half hour is dedicated to the reformed men, with a 3rd grade song to boot.AND IM THINKING HEY BABY, WHATS HAPPENING..??!!.Who is this movie, made for?
No no, I've got it wrong this movie is for the kids, I mean it has loads of kiddy jokes, and a few kiddy songs, and look how much the men like the baby, wait whats happening, wrong again this movie is for the women, i don't know how i missed it, the men reform, they love and take care of the child, stay at home to do house-work, THE MEN CRY (nothing turns on women more than to see men that cry, thats why married men suffer so much hehe), oookkkkkkkkkkk this time I've got to be right, this movies for the urban audience in general, i mean everything is in English entire dialogues and scenes are almost in English so it must be for them, but then ..........
women, men, urban, rural, children, adults aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgh.THEN IT HIT ME.THIS MOVIES BEEN MADE FOR EVERYBODY.Not the kind of movie thats so good that everybody will love, but the kind of movie, that looks like cloth thats been stitched with many different colours because the tailor feels that since each colour is a different persons favourite colour if he puts all of them in one place all of them will love them.We all know what such a cloth would like wouldn't it.But ask any woman and she will tell you, "PATCHWORK IS IN RIGHT NOW", and maybe it is, because this movie isn't exactly doing badly.The acting is good, most of the focus is one Akshay, though the others have done well in the limited roles they have, and with whatever limited talent they have to.Im not gay and not normally one to dedicate paragraphs on how people looked, but Ritiesh actually looked gay, Fardeen looked fat,and Vidya looked like a fat aunty with a bad fashion sense.
But heres why i clarified that im not gay, Akshay Kumar looked fabulous SRK is looking the best he has ever looked and yet Akshay Kumar just outshone him in the song, im loosing weight and its actually quite an inspiration to see the long term rewards of being fit.The direction and script writing was haphazard as explained earlier, but was the potential was there, with some work Sajid Khan may actually pull of his new career.Technically this film was OK, there were lots of stock shots of Australia which comes with the free shooting that they provide.Songs were OK/bad, save for the title and the item song.In all truly ordinary film, that mostly incites extreme reactions, a few good scenes, are mixed with mostly ordinary and some really bad ones, THE AMOUNT OF MELODRAMA IS ALSO ALARMING IF YOUR NOT PREPARED FOR IT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU Don't ENJOY IT, LIKE I Don't.Watch with correct expectations, its also come to my notice after talking to my friends that this movies not for anyone whos not a hardcore Hindi movie watcher, the occasional watchers have all been disappointed.If you miss it, you probably wont miss anything, but you may not regret watching it either.Watching on TV for free will definitely enhance the experience.-s like patchwork, poor script OK direction, wasted performances and potential, too much melodrama.+/-s scenes for every important audience, you may enjoy the scenes for the many categories.+s Akshay Kumar (close of OD of him though), some really funny scenes, NOT A COPY OF THREE MEN AND....
(for the first time its actually and inspiration).total 5/10 (on absolute terms its more of a 4, but it served its purpose and there's definitely an audience for this film, even i feel i will enjoy the funny scenes, in isolation when channel surfing, hence the higher rating)..
Bad. Heyy Babyy is painful to watch.The story itself is a copy from Three Men and a Baby.The screenplay too is horribly penned.Even the dialogs are disgusting and offensive at times.It is like an ambitious project which has gone awfully awry.Direction by Sajid Khan is bad.The music is good.Performance-Akshay Kumar is very good.Ritesh Deshmukh is funny.Fardeen Khan is good too.Vidya Balan is bad.Boman Irani overacts.The baby irritates.Overall Heyy Babyy is bad..
No matter what Sajid would like to believe, until the moment Vidya arrives to take away her baby this is a complete ripoff of TMAAB.
Besides that it has Desi masala content which now people had enough from Bollywood movies, so no one likes them anymore.Songs are all over the place, never blending with the situation anywhere.
It gave totally wrong impression from the trailers.Director Sajid Khan should understand that he has made a movie for masses, and adding many songs & actresses in one song can't make a film any better.
Sajid's Inexperience Spoils It. Amount of disappointment I am getting these days seeing movies like Partner, Jhoom Barabar and now, Heyy Babyy is gonna end my habit of seeing first day shows.The movie is an utter disappointment because it had the potential to become a laugh riot only if the débutant director, Sajid Khan hadn't tried too many things.
Next 45 minutes were emotional and looked totally artificial and illogical.OK, when you are out for a movie like this you don't expect much logic but all the flaws tend to appear when you don't enjoy the movie and thats the case with Heyy Babyy.
Only problem is that these things do not come together properly to make a good movie.Anyways, I read somewhere that It isn't a copy of Three men and a baby but I think it would have been better if it was..
Love you Sajid, Love you Akshay, love you Vidya, and love you baby, the best movie of 2007, really a great movie, i liked it from the bottom of my heart, I have seen so many commenting ill about HEYY Babyy but i know they are jealous thats why commenting so, Everybody is well aware how good this movie is, I give 10 out of 10 rather I would like to give it 100 out of 10, since its a very good movie, and Sajid I love you for this movie, Keep it up, Well done I Congratulate you for this universal success of yours, very good man.
Good movie...worth the watch.
This movie was very good Akshay and ritesh and fardeen all have really god chemistry the baby was so cute Vidya looked nice The songs were really good i went to watch it at star city was a very good choice this is so funny and very entertaining i wanted to kill them when that baby drowned you could tell it was a dummy when the doctor put an injection in the baby.
Better than spending your money on RGVKAag. this movie was funny and witty and the songs were really nice especially mast kalander with shah rukh khan making his guest appearance.
and when ritesh bashed into that tree.Good movie go watch it.
Boys doing their usual stupid stuff and blaming girls over and over and over again.But something that this movie proved was that, Sajid Khan can surely make people laugh off-screen as well.
Her role wasn't that intense, but she did whatever she could.On a broader scale, this movie should be watched, certainly by guys like, who are out clubbing for THE certain same reason at times.
