"Missing Baby, Writers Also Lost"
The film centers on a missing baby case,
with the investigation starting almost immediately. It aims to feel like a tense thriller, and some scenes are written to create an edge-of-the-seat experience. However, the outdated writing style weakens the overall impact.
The efforts to make the movie feel fast-paced in the first half don’t really work. Even though things are happening, the tension doesn’t rise as much as it should. Still, the point where the movie reaches the interval is decent and gives a small sense of curiosity about what will happen next.
The movie tries to feel fast-paced in the first half, but it doesn’t quite work. Even though a lot happens, the tension never rises as it should. Still, the interval point is decent and creates some curiosity about what comes next.
The second half is where the movie really loses its grip. The story becomes very predictable. Since the writers previously worked on Traffic, you can notice a similar style of narration in a few places, but here it doesn’t feel as strong or engaging.
Nivin Pauly's role in the film feels more like an extended cameo rather than a meaningful character. There are also emotional subplots related to motherhood. Unfortunately, these scenes don’t create the emotional impact they aim for. They feel forced and don’t connect deeply.
Overall, the film has a good central idea about a missing baby, but weak writing, predictable storytelling, and limited emotional depth make it an a dull thriller.
Movie Reviewer Survival Note:
"If you disagree, fine.
Just don’t make me rewatch it.”

Baby Girl is a commendable attempt that maintains its thrill through a solid
first half, but it eventually loses the grip of the movie due to weak writing and a predictable second
