Unlike the original movie, the soundtrack is totally bland. Like in the original, the second half is about musical band/singing aspiration. Director Nandini Reddy seems to have tweaked a bit to localize the content but basic thread and much of the scenes and episodes are same as original. This is official remake of Korean film ‘Miss Granny’ that has also been remade in many other languages. Like in her recent hit movie ‘Majili’, she appears in the movie very late, carrying an umbrella as the drizzle starts. ‘Oh Baby’ really does create some good laughs when Samantha comes into the picture as younger self of Lakshmi in the first half of the movie. This premise is enough to generate laughs. The film is also about a second chance to achieve what one had missed earlier.
How she manages to handle the unexpected miracle? The core idea of getting youth back, despite the fact that it is far-fetched and not logical, is quite an interesting one. Rest of the drama is how she tries to live the life she never had and what problems she would face.Īs the trailer suggested, ‘Oh Baby’ is essentially about an old woman mysteriously getting second chance to lead life as a young woman, getting her 20’s self once more.

Written by director BV Nandini Reddy and Lakshmi Bhupala, the film convincingly captures the circle of life,” he added.70-plus Savitri aka Baby (Lakshmi) who is living with her son finds that she’s a burden to her family. “Samantha Akkineni thrives in the role that reflects the possibilities of youth, the burden of old age, and the society’s indifference to the desires and complaints of old people. It seems she would endure all the hardships all over again and risk growing into a cranky old woman for the sake of her loved ones even in her second chance.” Her new life still revolves around her loved ones. She tucks in a fully-grown man Vikram (Naga Shaurya), who wants to have relations with her, by singing a lullaby. She force feeds her grandson Rocky (Teja Sajja) and punishes him for smoking. She can’t help but complain about her daughter-in-law’s cooking. Baby forgets her youth when she sees her son Nani (Rao Ramesh) and rushes to him with open arms. Even as her physical age is 24, she is the same 70-year-old doting mother from the inside. ’s Manoj Kumar R gave the film 3 stars and wrote, “The entire comedy of the film rests on Baby’s struggles to come to terms with her new reality.
