Nivin Pauly's 'Baby Girl' OTT Review: Thriller Falls Flat Due to Weak Writing

• Nivin Pauly's Malayalam thriller 'Baby Girl' is now streaming on SonyLIV after its January 23, 2026 theatrical release.
• The plot revolves around hospital worker Sanal Mathew as a three-day-old baby goes missing from the maternity ward.
• While actors deliver good performances, especially Lijomol Jose and Sangeeth Pratap, the film suffers from poor writing and lack of tension.
• Cinematography and sharp editing are technical strengths, but the screenplay feels incomplete and fails to engage.
• Despite an interesting premise, 'Baby Girl' struggles to maintain audience interest, making it a disappointing thriller.
