Critic's Rating: 3.0/5
Get Set Baby, directed by Vinay Govind, is a feel-good, fun film. However, it doesn't offer anything particularly new after one point , which takes away some of its charm despite its happy ending. It remains an easy watch with a few glaringly cliché moments. What stands out, though, is how the characters—Arjun, played by Unni, and Swathy, played by Nikhila—stay true to each other.
The film opens with a voice-over by Mohanlal, drawing a parallel between the birth of the Kauravas and IVF treatments. The story begins when Arjun, a young doctor, decides to specialise in gynecology—a field traditionally dominated by women. He meets Swathi, who later establishes a farm-to-table business. But what happens when success goes to one’s head? How does pride destroy harmony? Arjun's journey follows a man who loses his way when success finds him.
While Arjun's transformation feels a little abrupt, the message still comes across. A particularly striking moment is the death of a dear character, reinforcing the unpredictability of life and the futility of regret. The fact that an interaction between the two was avoided makes the moment even more poignant. However, the writing falters in many places, and some tweaking could have helped drag the story out of its cliché comfort zone. To conclude, Get Set Baby is a watchable but average film.
Animation plays a strong visual role, both at the beginning and in the end credits. Unni is charming as Arjun, effectively portraying the shifts in his character, though some dialogues feel slightly awkward. Nikhila, for a change, gets to play a cheerful role, smiling more than usual, and she handles it with poise. The supporting cast does a great job elevating the story, despite a few misses. Light-hearted jokes are sprinkled throughout, working in some places but falling flat in others. A random Tovino Thomas reference is thrown in, earning a chuckle.
Sam CS’s music breathes life into the film, adding to its overall appeal. The film was written by Rajesh TV and Anoop Ravindran.
