Nivin Pauly's thriller 'Baby Girl' cleared for release with 'U' certificate
"Baby Girl is officially Clean U Certified. - Nivin Pauly"

Chennai, Jan 16

The Central Board of Film Certification has cleared director Arun Varma's eagerly awaited thriller 'Baby Girl', featuring actor Nivin Pauly in the lead, for release with a clean 'U' certificate.

Taking to his Instagram page, actor Nivin Pauly confirmed the development saying, "Baby Girl is officially Clean U Certified. @babygirlmovieofficial In Cinemas From Jan 23rd."

It may be recalled that the makers of the film have already disclosed that Nivin Pauly plays a character called Sanal Mathew in the film.

In a birthday post on Nivin Pauly's birthday, director Arun Varma had shared a motion poster last year and said, "In every silence a storm brews....Presenting Nivin Pauly as Attendant Sanal Mathew. Wishing our leading man a fantastic year ahead. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIVIN PAULY. Baby Girl in theatres soon !!"

The motion poster released showed Nivin Pauly holding a baby in his arms. The film will also feature actors Lijomol Jose, Abhimanyu Thilakan and Sangeeth Prathap in pivotal roles.

It may be recalled that the makers of the film had released a motion poster that had caught the attention of audiences without giving anything away about the plot of the film. The motion poster released then opened with a voice over. One hears a police officer reporting some developments back to the police headquarters over his walkie talkie. We are then shown the four main characters of the film emerging one by one. We get to know from the motion poster that Abhimanyu Thilakan plays a cop in the film. Lijomol Jose, best known for her performance in 'Jai Bhim', and actor Sangeeth Prathap, who plays a crucial supporting character in 'Premalu', are then introduced to audiences. Finally, Navin Pauly's face comes up. Interestingly, the first look poster of the film shows these four characters looking in one direction while several other faceless people seem to be looking the other way around.

Produced by well known producer Listin Stephen, 'Baby Girl' has triggered huge interest as its story has been penned by popular writers Bobby and Sanjay, who are known for their heart-touching stories in films such as 'Traffic' and 'Ayalum Njanum Thammil'.

'Baby Girl' boasts of not just a strong cast but an equally impressive technical team as well. It has music by Christy Joby and editing by Shyjith Kumaran. Cinematography for this eagerly awaited film is by Faiz Siddik. Baby Girl has two executive producers in Naveen P Thomas and Santhosh Krishnan and a line producer in Akhil Yesodharan.

Costumes for the film have been designed by Melwy J and make up is by Rasheed Ahammed. The stunt sequences in the film have been choreographed by stunt choreographer Vicky.

Finally some good news! The motion poster had me hooked. Nivin as an attendant named Sanal Mathew holding a baby... the intrigue is real. Hope the story lives up to the hype. Listin Stephen's production is usually a safe bet.

Respectfully, I'm a bit skeptical. A thriller with a 'U' certificate might mean it's too watered down. The best thrillers often need a certain edge that a 'U/A' allows. Hope the makers haven't compromised the story for the certification.

Lijomol Jose is in this! After her powerful performance in Jai Bhim, I'll watch anything she's in. The combination of her, Nivin, and Abhimanyu Thilakan is very promising. Faiz Siddik's cinematography is the cherry on top.

Working in India, I've grown to love Malayalam cinema for its storytelling. The writers of 'Traffic' are involved? That's a huge draw. A clean 'U' means I can recommend it to my local colleagues with families. Looking forward to it.

The poster description with four looking one way and faceless people looking another... wah! What a concept. Creates so much curiosity. Hope the movie delivers a solid social message along with the thrills. Booking tickets for first day!
