Heyy Babyy - what's up with the double y's?

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/blogspot_images/heybaby.jpg

Heyy Babyy is about three best friends Aroush (Akshay Kumar), Ali (Fardeen Khan), and Tanmay (Ritiesh Deshmukh) who are bachelors and are having the time of their lives. Until one day, a baby is placed at their doorstep to take care of since one of the is the father. But which guy? And who is the mother?

Yes, Heyy Babyy is the Bollywood version of Three Men and a Baby. I rolled my eyes at this movie at first because I knew it would be stupid - Three Men a Baby's storyline is so 90s. Plus you have three wannabe hip hop guys who think they are stud with a modern Vidya (she's been in traditional wear in all of her previous films) What's up with three guys? I've been seeing three - is that a lucky number? Think Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat, Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Shaadi No 1, Masti, etc. Also what's up with the double y's? Trying to make the title sound cool? After a long delay and watching arty Indian cinema, I decided to give this movie a try. Why not? I needed a good laugh. The music is great to dance to and I've been hearing the title song and "Mast Kalandar" everywhere!

Intro is cute and funny. Narrated by Akshay Kumar's character - Aroush - such a sexy voice too! First Tanmay is introduce. Teddy Tanmay who dresses up during the day time as a big, fluffy teddy bear to entertain little kids. At night, he entertains the ladies.

Ali aka Al. Don't you know it's more cool to sound less desi? A favorite to ladies, he loves to have fun and gamble. Most of the time, gambling to see which lady who will take home at night.

Let's not forget the narrator - Akoush. Three best friends. BFF for life! He's the confident stud who doesn't worry about his life. Not even the different ladies he's been with.

Then you have the cute baby Angel. She is sooo adorable!! This little girl turn these careless bachelors around. She help made them think about their lives and how selfish they have been to the females they've been with.

Vidya Balan is so beautiful. Many people criticize her modern look but I think she looks good either way. However, I do prefer her with traditional wear. She has that golden oldies look that matches traditional outfits more. It was good to see her go glamorous and modern. She's one of the few newcomers now that is really good. Isha is the mother of the cute Angel.

It's always great to see Bomran Irani on the screen. Many will remember him from Main Hoon Naa. He plays the father who was looking out for his daughter Isha but realizes his mistakes.

Overall, Heyy Babyy is not a great movie but it's worth it if you want brainless humor.
There were a lot of guest appearances in this movie. Not as many as Om Shanti Om though. I was pleased and surprise to see all the guest appearances (maybe I will review Om Shanti Om - I have the dvd and I saw it in the theater a while back).

The title song, which is the first song of the movie and an intro to the movie after Akshay Kumar narrates his friends and him. Who better than to start off an item song than the famous item girl, the hot MILF in Bollywood (I don't care what anyone says. I would die to have a body like her - she's a mom and is looking hot!!) Malaika Arora-Khan! I knew it was her when I saw the back of her figure and legs.

Celina Jaitley - not a fan of hers but I do think she's gorgeous

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/blogspot_images/Heyy%20Babyy/10.jpg

Minissha Lamba - like her, think she's good

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/blogspot_images/Heyy%20Babyy/11.jpg

Amrita Rao - cute girl, couldn't get a good cap of her

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/blogspot_images/Heyy%20Babyy/12.jpg

Tara Sharma - cute girl, I was waiting to see her big sis Kim in this song. Kim is seen more in Bollywood but Tara is cuter

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/blogspot_images/Heyy%20Babyy/13.jpg


Neha Dhupia - Knew she would be in this song. She's famous for being sexy. If Celina is in this song, why not Neha?

Dia Mirza - She's so adorable and cute. There's something about her that I really like. I don't think she's the best actress but I do like seeing her on screen.

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/blogspot_images/Heyy%20Babyy/15.jpg

Amisha Patel - for some reason, I was surprise to see her in this song. I'm not impress with her dancing and she used to be a bigger name back in the Kaho Naa Pyar Hai days but I do think she is cute. Hopefully I will see more Gadar films from her.

Sophiya Chaudhry - I'm a fan of her music. Love her voice! Most people don't like remixing Bollywood oldies into more modern, club upbeat songs but I love her style.

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/blogspot_images/Heyy%20Babyy/17.jpg

Masumi Makhija - I had to look her up. She was the only girl in this song I didn't know. I realized she's the girl opposite Jimmy Shergill in Dus Kahaniyan. She did a good job in the movie. She's really pretty and would like to see more of her.

Riya Sen - not really surprise to see her. I think she's one of the most beautiful Indian ladies. However, she can not act to save her life! Her sister Raima is a good actress though.

Koena Mitra
- she's one of the best and underrated dancers in Bollywood. Loved her ever since I saw her in Road in the "Khullam Khulla Kare" song. I think she's gorgeous even though she's looking plastic lately.

Amirta Arora
- wasn't surprised at all seeing her. Even though she's not as hot as sexy as her MILF older sister, I think she's cute.

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/blogspot_images/Heyy%20Babyy/21.jpg

Shamita Shetty - quite surprise to see her since she's the younger, infamous sister of Shilpa Shetty. Haven't seen her in a while. I would prefer seeing her do the whole song since she's a good dancer too.

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/blogspot_images/Heyy%20Babyy/23.jpg

Hrishtaa Bhatt - although she wasn't in the song, it was good just to see her. I think she's really cute. Most people will remember seeing her in Asoka. I think she looks like the Hollywood actress Alyssa Milano and the Telugu turn Hindi actress Genelia.

Shah Rukh Khan
- almost forgot about him being in the movie. It was good seeing him for a few second. He looks really skinny in the movie and don't like the long hair in a ponytail.

Kim Sharma - if her little sister is in the movie, why not her?

Anamika - the truth should've been left alone....

Anamika is about an amateur escort Jia (Minissha Lamba) who isn't good at her job but needs money since she's an orphan. Vikram (Dino Morea) hires her to be his escort and both fall in love with each other. After Jia learns about Vikram's first wife Anamika (Aarti Chhabria) passing away, Vikram and Jai get married and he takes her to his palace Gazneer in his home town in Rajasthan. Malini, Vikram's childhood friend, (Koena Mitra) runs the palace. Never good enough as the first wife, Jia feels she is out of place until one day Jia comes back to the palace.



The film is said to be a remake of an Anthony Hitchock film, Rebecca, which is based on the novel, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier (thanks to EliteXtasy for letting me know!!). I haven't seen the original but I knew this movie was going to be a thriller. I mainly watched the film for Dino. I adore him and think he's underrated. Not only does he look hot in the movie, he gets better and better each time I see him - looks and acting wise. He's even sexier with the stubs. He used to be overshadowed by Bipasha in their movies together. However, ever since I've seen him in The Fight Club, he's getting better and better.

Minissha is a good actress. I haven't seen too many movies with her but all the ones I've seen I've been impress with her. Most of the movies I've seen her in - she was in a supporting cast. In Anamika, she was the heroine and looked lovely. I hope to see her more in the future in lead roles. Yahaan is a film I have yet to see but heard she's awesome in her debut film. I do have Shaurya sitting at home. Hopefully I'll watch it soon. Update, reviewed.

Koena is so lovely! She's so underrated in the dancing department. I remember first seeing her as an item girl in the 'Khullam Khulla' song in Road. Most item girls are great at dancing and stick with it. However, Koena wants to do more than model and dance. Kudos to her. Although I don't think she's a good actress yet, she's improving.


Storyline wise - it's very interesting. For some reason the movie fell flat in the second hour. It just got boring which it should've gotten better!! I had a feeling I knew what happened to Anamika and I was right! The beginning of the movie was a bit rushed too. Vikram and Jia's love story was not convincing to me.


What I did like - the songs. 'Sagufta Dil' had Pan Asian/South East Asians dancing in the background and not goras! I did the research and found out the part of the movie was filmed in Thailand. Another Bollywood movie filmed in Thailand. I was happy. Too bad there was not much else about Thailand in the movie nor the significance of it. Instead of Switzerland, is it now Thailand?

Overall the movie could've been better. Of course it had moments. Only watch the movie if you're a die hard Dino, Minissha, or Koena fan. You could always get a Bollywood song dvd with Anamika songs.
