Baba Black Sheep Film Assessment: Movies which are centred upon the lives of scholars and their life at college are sometimes nice to look at as they’ve moments that take us again to the great ol’ days. Rajmohan Aarumugam’s debut directorial, Baba Black Sheep tries its greatest to be that form of a movie, however the emotional elements within the second half do not actually take us into the characters’ world and the enjoyable parts overpower it.
Because the opening credit roll, we get a humorous voice-over explaining the traits of ’80s and ’90s youngsters and the way 2K youngsters stand out amongst them.

Rajmohan’s movie begins nicely with the primary half producing enjoyable moments like one of the best episodes of the favored TV present Kanaa Kaanum Kaalangal.

The performances of Ayaz, NP and Ammu Abirami are respectable sufficient to carry our consideration. The staging of sure sequences within the pre-climax portion is fascinating and the concept to decorate up the character with suicidal intentions as a joker is kind of laudable. There are different enjoyable moments, together with the top credit.

Baba Black Sheep is a one-time watch, particularly for 2K youngsters and those that need to revisit their college days.
