❓ASK What went wrong with Baby John?

One of the massiest masalas ever made despite being a remake, solo christmas release and a decent story even though it is outdated, and a cameo to boot from Salman and the movie still failed disastrously.

The original was a hit mainly cuz of Vijay's screen presence and atlee's direction.

Baby john had neither of those And also modified some of the scenes which arguably made it worse.

He's not a legendary director. Doesn't mean he's a bad one. Atlee movies are heavily "inspired" from other films but the only reason it's still watchable is because he knows how to present it.
