<p>Shailendra Babu is a lavish spender – Dubai is as splendid as ever. <br /><br />So much so that, the visual and audio riches sometimes leave a disgusting aftertaste. Remake of ‘Dubai Seenu’, ‘Dubai Babu’ is interspersed with some brilliant and some downright pedestrian moments. <br /><br />In a crux, a youth, Dubai Babu (Upendra), cheated out of his Dubai dream, tries to help a girl Vasundhara (Nikitha) seeking to unite her estranged brother and sister-in-law with her father. <br /><br />He is foiled by underworld don Jinna Bhai (Aryan Vaid). He sets out to avenge his friend’s death at the same time. Upendra is a bundle of energy and the effort to control his hyperactivity is evident in most of the scenes which kind of disrupts the flow. <br />Unnecessary sub-plots also add to the confusion. Nikitha is ok. Aryan Vaid’s Kannada is a pleasant surprise. <br /><br />V Sridhar’s music is good, in patches. Unnecessary splicing of frames and frequent close-ups mar Anil Xavier’s work. Ramesh Pandit and Satyajit are good initially but every other comedy track prolongs boredom and snatches away interest from the viewer. <br /><br />After ‘Kutumba’ and ‘Gowramma’, ‘Dubai Babu’ comes as an unpleasant surprise.<br /></p>
