          Oh! Baby - A fantasy of living future in past age, good concept supported by nice performances; especially Samantha sweeping off the honours with great acting, sometimes doing more than required though. Rajendra Prasad did exceptionally well and rest did the adequate. Screenplay has been loose at times, could have been planned better - a 50 year old Professor in Geriatrics failing to understand his mother, a daughter-in-law for 25 years failing to come to terms with the ways of her mother-in-law, a granny who is partial towards grandson and taunts her granddaughter always, a best-friend for 65 years does not take care of his 34 year old daughter who is a spinster for unknown reasons, a successful media person loves traditions but lurches for a one-night stand, the lead character who aspired to be a singer all her life; recognizes an yesteryear actor of same name as hers but fails to name an even more senior and versatile artist known for acting and singing, a woman who gets her age back finds it difficult to choose between fueling love and fulfilling life - and many such questions which go unanswered and unnoticed, just because of the captivating performances most of the times. The songs are fine, not so catchy and dialogs are somewhat patchy. Overall, it is a good remake for the audience to take; leaving a scope for a better bake.
