Just adding 50 random societal issues does not make a film. This is the case with Baba Baby O. There are references to surrogacy, single parenthood, dealing with dislike of kids, etc. But there is just no connection between the issues, nor does it dive deep into any of those issues. There is no story whatsoever. A sizeable portion of the film is non-funny jokes which really don't need to be there. The music is good, and some of the actors and actresses did a good job. If you decide to skip the movie, you won't miss much.

This is a film which makes you ask for a full refund. This is a film which makes you wonder, who was in charge while making this? Did anyone direct this movie? Scene after scene the film progressively lowers the bar. Throwing in a bunch of technical sounding jargon doesn't make a sci-fi movie, it makes it a good laugh. They didn't even get the audio right---the music and background noises are louder than the dialogs, to the point I couldn't understand anything the actors are saying! It's an assault on your senses.

The premise of the film is intriguing. It is definitely worth a watch. However, the plot is far too complex to be weaved properly in a couple of hours. Almost everything---action sequences, dialogs etc---seems a little too hurried. We go to the movies to have a great experience. Nolan has always delivered great experiences---Inception and Dark Knight are nothing short of masterpieces. Tenet, however, falls short. There seems to be too many loose ends, and the expectation that the audience will brainstorm for days at end to figure things out isn't too reasonable. For a scientific film, the problem at hand should be well defined (for example, it was clear upfront what the problem was in Inception). I am still unclear what was the big problem that the protagonist was trying to solve in Tenet. But still worth a watch.
