User ‘iAkshayRPillai’ wrote, “#BabyGirl starts with a solid first half & an excellent interval. Engaging screenplay & a strong BGM score build tension & elevate scenes. #NivinPauly, #LijoMol & other lead cast perform well. If 2nd half holds up, this could be a true seat-edge thriller in the lines of Traffic.”

X user commented, ‘Abbas_Anwar_’ said, ‘ST:- #BabyGirlMovie..The first half starts slowly and then becomes engaging, just like a build-up to the main plot. The performance of Nivin, Abhimanyu, and Sangeeth is nice. Interval punch now all eyes on the second half. #NivinPauly.’
