Reviews

The film received a number of positive reviews upon its release and several notable publications wrote features on it, earning it universal acclaim. Majorly the critics praised the work of the director, Omer Essa Khan. Shahroz, and the ear-catching dialogues, are the glue that bind Essa’s uncomplicated, routine love story, that’s anted-up as a near-excellent motion picture. Despite some very minor creative and technical hitches — hitches casual audiences won’t even note — Babylicious heralds the arrival of a bright young filmmaker, wrote Dawn (newspaper). The roles of the lead cast were also lauded by the publications including The Tribune.
