Analysis
Inspired by Blue Streak (1999), the director Devi Prasad could able to generate entertainment with decent screenplay and good comedy timing. Blade Babji sports entertainment value and mass orientation. This film would do really well in B and C centers and may fare decently in A centers. You may watch ‘Blade Babji’ for some comic relief.
