Run Baby Run Movie Review: An Effective Thriller That Partly Engages Us

An ordinary man caught up in an abnormal situation. His Jiyen Krishnakumar's Run Baby Run, starring RJ Balaji, expands on these one-liners very effectively in the first half.
When Sathya (played by Balaji), a middle-class bank clerk, returns to her car after buying a present for her fiancĂ©e, he finds a woman hiding under her backseat. That day, that day, that woman turned his life upside down forever. After a while he realized that the woman was in trouble, but he was unwilling to 

help. he is not a hero. He's just a guy who wants to live a normal life. But he is also a conscientious person. When this mysterious woman tells him that he could be killed if he doesn't protect her, he reluctantly agrees to help him. I don't want to get blood on. All of this makes Satya an instantly relatable protagonist. Jian, who wrote and directed the film, managed to pull us to the edge of our seats. S Yuva's understated Dark exudes a brooding mood with the help of his cinematography and Sam CS's ominous score. Sentences are more visual than words. Some of the images, like a dead woman's finger sticking out of a holdall, evoke an eerie vibe. The writing is also clean. Jien doesn't want to give Balaji any one-liners that ruin the mood of the movie.

Balaji himself has done something he has never done before. he played an important role. Also in his predecessor film Veetla Vishesham, he attempted a restrained expression. However, this was a comedy-drama with his cast of strong support of Sathyaraj, Urvashi, Aparna Balamurali and KPAC Lalitha. The film rests almost entirely on Balaji's shoulders (despite a cameo appearance by Aishwarya Rajesh). Kudos to him for giving up power to try something different. But its performance requires more sandpaper. At times he looks stony and sometimes exaggerated.
However, the writing and directing obscure the limitations of his first half performance. And we get a wonderful setting in which the main character, who unintentionally gets caught up in the deaths of two people, is threatened by a faceless, seemingly powerful antagonist.
However, the film begins to sink in the second half. Things are more verbal and rushed, but less exciting. A previously relatable protagonist becomes a human-fighting hero (the action sequences seem realistic but unnecessary) and fights for a greater cause. He is no longer on the run to save himself. He runs to catch bad guys. It would be nice if the previous protagonist transformed into a hero, but the real problem is that this transformation arc isn't convincing. There is no tension in the investigation scene. And finally, the big revelation fades away like a half-drenched firecracker.
If the script had been more consistent in the second half, if Aishwarya Rajesh's character had been fleshed out a bit more, and had an established antagonist, we could have gotten a much better movie than we did. It could have been. Finally, we're left with these
