Baby tells a coming-of-age story of a boy and a girl, who fall in love with each other at school. However, when they pass out from school and the reality of life catches them up, all their dreams and expectations are shattered. 

"Vaishnavi is by far, one of the iconic characters ever written...And Vaishnavi chaitanya has inhaled it completely and exhaled it to us. Anand was so brilliant that he looked intoxicated by his role. viraj is up to the mark. Music by vijay bulganin is like a beautiful visual..And cinematography by Balreddy, is like a melodious tune to the film," he added.

Winning such a high-praise from a maverick filmmaker like Sukumar will add to the film's momentum at the box office. Defying expectations, the movie took a huge opening at the box office in the Telugu states and continued its bullish run even during the weekdays.
