Director Nachiket Samant's Baby Do Die Do starts with a premise that's instantly intriguing. At the centre of the story is Baby Karmarkar (Huma Qureshi), a deaf and mute contract killer on a relentless mission to find the man responsible for her sister's death. Blending revenge, crime and noir elements, the film sets up a gripping story that keeps you invested at least for the first half.

Huma Qureshi is undoubtedly the heart of the film. With very little dialogue to rely on, she conveys Baby's emotions through expressive eyes, subtle gestures and commanding body language. She makes the character feel both vulnerable and dangerous, effortlessly switching between moments of quiet grief and calculated violence. It's one of her most controlled and compelling performances in recent years. Rachit Singh also delivers note a worthy performance.
