Vijay breaks silence over Theris remake Atlee responds

Filmfare’s review of the film reads, “Baby John differs from Theri in the treatment. And the deviation is not for the better. The original didn’t have an ear pounding background score, for instance. The BGM is so loud in some places it gets on your nerves. And for an action film, two hours and 40 minutes is too big a runtime. It could easily have been trimmed by half-an-hour. The editing is choppy and inconsistent. The music by Thaman doesn’t work. The songs don’t feel like they were originally created in Hindi. Even though the lyrics are in Hindi, you feel like you’re hearing a South language. And in 2024, no one has the patience to sit through lip synched song and dance versions. They could easily have been chopped, as none of the songs, except the baby shower one, add to the narrative.”
