Overview
- Baby Do Die Do opened in theatres on 3 July 2026 following production by siblings Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem under their new banner Saleem Siblings and direction by Nachiket Samant.
- Critics across outlets praised Huma Qureshi’s physical, nuanced performance as Baby Karmarkar, a deaf‑and‑mute contract killer, and highlighted the film’s strong Mumbai‑noir look and inventive visual motifs.
- Reviewers consistently described the screenplay as uneven, saying the first half feels slow or overlong while the second half gains momentum with more twists and clearer suspense.
- Producers signalled frustration at placing an independently financed film in theatres and leaned on music‑led publicity, including a recreated classic and the cheeky item number 'Alpha Q', to raise awareness.
- Early coverage shows modest commercial traction and mixed word‑of‑mouth, and the film’s theatrical release is being read as a test case for giving women‑led, indie crime dramas a shot at multiplex runs.
