<p>Baby John, the Bollywood remake of Theri, has faced a dismal opening amidst the ongoing success of Pushpa 2: The Rule. Despite extensive promotions and a holiday release, the film's India opening is estimated at â‚¹10 crore, significantly lower than Pushpa 2's â‚¹20 crore on its 21st day.</p>

<p>The Hindi audience's preference for Pushpa 2 over Baby John, combined with mixed reviews, casts doubt on the latter's ability to reach â‚¹100 crore. To recover, Baby John necessitates a substantial weekend surge or consistent viewership for 10 days.</p>

<p>Pushpa 2's dominance persists, breaking records three weeks post-release. Its â‚¹20 crore collection on Christmas Day solidifies its blockbuster status. Industry experts suggest Baby John's performance may improve over the weekend with positive word-of-mouth.</p>

<p>Baby John's underwhelming opening raises concerns about its box office prospects. Will it manage to regain momentum? Can Pushpa 2's success be attributed to its engaging storyline or Allu Arjun's popularity? The Bollywood trade anxiously awaits the outcome.</p>

Many say, Pushpa The Rule do not have the standout elements and except for Allu Arjun's intense performance in the Jathara episode and his powerful and impactful mannerisms and dialogue delivery.</p>

<h2>jealousy and heartburn !</h2>

<p>They say that's the reason why Sukumar did not get the nation wide accolades vis a vis Rajamouli, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Rishab Shetty or Prashant Neel.

He impresses with his acting and screenpresence. He thrills with his stunts and enacting action sequences and also emoted well. His makeup looked apt for the role. Surprisingly movie started with megastar chiranjeevi voice over. but this kind of weak script didn\'t required mega voice.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Maya Rao West disappoints with her performance. The makers roped her in as she is from Portugal. However she failed to do justice and couldn\'t come up with basic expressions and emotions. Kallirroi Tziafeta is good in her role and made an impact with her performance.</p>\r\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Cesar Lorente Raton did justice to his role.

Lalettan made is debut with this film and he tried to entertain movie lovers especially children with the 3D fantasy entertainer. But except for the cinematography and graphics, nothing fell in place.</p>\r\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The story lacked the emotional depth despite the interesting flocklore and fantasy elements in it.Right from the start till the finish, the dead slow narration and screenplay tests the patience of the viewers. If not for Mohan Lal, many would have walked out of the theatres by the end of first 15 minutes.</p>\r\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Except for the few scenes during the pre interval and during the climax, nothing excites viewers. The lack of entertaining elements in the story turns out to be the biggest disappointment. Mohan Lal should have worked on the script and added scenes to entertain viewers and also elevated the emotions to connect chords with them.</p>\r\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The songs and background music impacted the film in a big way. The songs of Lydian Nadaswaram, Miguel Gurrerio &amp; Fernado Gurrerio acted as speedbrakers and infact tested the patience of the viewers. Same is the case with the background score of Mark Kilian who failed to make any impact.</p>\r\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Santosh Sivan\'s cinematography is good. He beautified the film with his talent. Ajith Kumar.B\'s editing failed miserably. There are many scenes that dragged the pace of the film and it seems he was overawed by the presence of Mohan Lal. The graphic and VFX along with the 3D effects are of top standard. Production values are grand.</p>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Barroz 3D Movie: Advantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Mohan Lal</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Cinematography</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Production Values</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Barroz 3D Movie: Disadvantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Slow Narration</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Missing Emotions</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Screenplay</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Songs</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Mohanlal\'s Barroz 3D (2024) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>\r\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Altogether, Barroz turns out to be high on VFX and low on emotions. The film which released amidst huge expectations banking on Mohanlal\'s superstardom failed to connect chords with the viewers with a lack of emotions, a lifeless and soulless story, screenplay and direction. Considering all these points,&nbsp;<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;\">Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Barroz</span>.</p>
