Given the massive response to the?Baby John teaser cut with an Atlee touch, movie buffs are counting on this one to change the trajectory of Dhawan's career, whose last release Bawaal failed to impress both critics and his fans. The teaser was also shared on the Reddit sub-Bolly Blinds and Gossip, and many Redditors have since shared their inputs on the Varun Dhawan starrer's first look.
One user wrote, "Haven't seen the original so will go into this blind. The teaser honestly looks fantastic. Not much is given away in terms of storyline and I hope they keep it that way with the main trailer too because lately, so many Bollywood trailers have been giving so much of the story. BGM is catchy! Hoping Varun gets a good hit with this one."
"Trailer looks good, no doubt, but I felt there were some points where the sound mixing was not done properly," another user highlighted.
A third Redditor mentioned, "The action star Era of Varun Dhawan is coming. This movie will be a huge hit despite the remake factor. It's all about presentation."
"Excited for this. Will be an adrenaline rush, and from the teaser it looks more promising than anything other than Pushpa 2 this year," mentioned another Reddit user.
While most were impressed with the action sequences and adrenaline-pumping background music of the trailer, some fans also highlighted how Varun doesn't match Vijay Thalapathy's charm who starred in the original version. Some users were also not happy with Varun's dialogue delivery and said that his lousy act did not fit well with the premise of the film.
"Teaser Was Going Okay Until Varun's Dialogue...tbh his dialogue delivery is atrocious, his Voice is Also a negative point he should work on his voice modulation. Meh Teaser," one user wrote.
"Varun did the same Main Tera Hero wali dialogue delivery in the end," mentioned another user, adding, "Let's see if he's worthy of this solo Christmas release which he has got. Ranveer also got solo Christmas releases with 83 and Cirkus and he gave Disasters both times."
A third user added, "Varun looks hot .. but I'm sure that they would have ruined the classic that there is .. and of course, nobody can match Vijay's swag and coolness. It took Vijay to untouchable heights in kwood. Let's see what it does to Dhawan's career."
Baby John will be released in theatres on December 25.?
