Reasons to watch Nivin Pauly's Baby Girl
Intriguing plot with twists
On Christmas Eve, a baby from the Good Shepherd Hospital in Thiruvananthapuram city is kidnapped by a masked intruder. Along with the baby's family, Sanal Mathew, a member of the medical staff, is one of the numerous suspects in the police team's investigation. In order to rescue both the child and his reputation, Sanal soon starts looking for the culprits on his own while the police inquiry is underway. This film's main focus was who is responsible for the infant's disappearance and what lies behind all of these incidents.
Sanjay-Bobby's screenplay
Baby Girl poses a moral conundrum centred on motherhood and family ties in a screenplay penned by the renowned writers Sanjay-Bobby. The film demonstrates the writers' capacity to explore the primal facets of human emotions. It's fair to characterise Baby Girl as a decent thriller with all the usual traits, including a straightforward plot, car chase and decoys at every corner. The movie manages to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats especially with a plot centred on a four day old baby.
Performances by the lead cast
The performances by the lead cast makes this excellent screenplay cohesive. Nivin's portrayal of Sanal Mathew is definitely more or less a prolonged cameo as a protagonist who rises to the occasion in order to save his reputation rather than to be a conventional "hero." Lijomol and Sangeeth Prathap are without a doubt the most outstanding actors in this thriller. As an estranged brother-sister, they surprise the audience with their unnerving performances. In the film, Mythili, Azees Nedumangad, and Abhimanyu Shammi Thilakan all deliver good performances.
