Director Rajmohan Arumugam’s Baba Black Sheep can best be described as a film comprising two contrasting halves. The first half leaves you groaning and the second has some meaning.
Rangarajan (Suresh Chakravarthy) runs two higher secondary schools. After his death, his sons Raja (Subbu Panchu) and Ravi (Malar Kannan) decide to combine the schools
The move causes a conflict between two sets of students in Class XI. Both sets, each comprising five boys, fight over who gets to sit in the last row of the combined classroom.
The management lets the boys off with a warning. But not before asking them to clean up the mess they’ve created. They find a suicide note as they do this. This is what the movie is about.
Nevertheless, the movie has some neat performances coming from some of its lead characters. Ayaz and Narendra Prasad, the leaders of the two rival gangs, are impressive.
The makers of Baba Black Sheep seem to have been under the impression that their movie works, unfortunately, by the time you leave the theatre, you are only partially satisfied.
