Koimoi
“Huma Qureshi delivers what can easily be called the performance of her life. Being stripped of dialogue is the ultimate test for an actor, and Huma aces it by letting her acting do all the lifting! Whether she is channeling cold, calculated violence while holding an umbrella or displaying a vulnerable, soft-hearted side, her performance talks despite her going mute in the film. Huma is backed by an exceptionally brilliant ensemble cast. Chunky Panday in serious roles is always a revelation, and Sikandar Kher as the antagonist wins the climax.”

“The biggest victory for director Nachiket Samant is Baby Do Die Do’s deceptively simple storytelling. In an era when thrillers overcomplicate themselves with non-linear timelines, he and his team keep the narrative arc clean and simple. It is almost like a textbook revenge story, but it wins because it focuses heavily on Huma Qureshi’s act and a brilliantly done climax! It feels fresh, and you would not have seen something like this in a long time – simple yet effective!”

“Huma Qureshi does not have a single dialogue, yet she speaks volumes through her eyes and expressions. She looks every inch an experienced assassin and delivers one of the most accomplished performances of her career. Rachit Singh puts in a sweet and impressive act, and his ‘opposites attract’ love story with Baby forms a crucial part of the narrative. Chunky Panday is marvellous, and it is commendable how he continues to essay such varied roles at this stage of his career. On the whole, BABY DO DIE DO works due to its stylish execution, quirky characters, unexpected twists and a terrific performance by Huma Qureshi.”

“Huma Qureshi manages an impressive accomplishment here, of being at the centrestage of her home production, while making sure the ensemble cast gets equal limelight. Sikandar Kher, playing Zafar Katkar, is delightful as ever. Seema Pahwa has plenty of fun with her cameo appearance as a jovial cop. Chunky Pandey is convincing as the mousy middle-man. Equal credit goes to the casting director Abhishek Banerjee for inhabiting this world with earthy, vulnerable actors like Marudhar Shekhawat and Rupesh Bane who play Manu and Faizu, respectively.”
