Reception
Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "In attempting to blend family drama with comedy, Baby & Baby delivers neither, resulting in a film that feels less like a modern family entertainer and more like a relic from a bygone era."[4] Thinkal Menon of The South First gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Baby and Baby relies on the same old formula with a stellar cast, but fails to deliver because of the lack of depth in characters and outdated treatment."[5] Narayani M of Cinema Express gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "However, in its pursuit to create back-to-back laughs, many one-liners and stretches in Baby and Baby are either thrust forcefully or tumble off into oblivion."[6] Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu wrote "[...] Baby and Baby sways between mass and humour territory. A film as clichéd as this deserves a clichéd critique and that would be to call it old wine in an old bottle."[7]
