"Mind-Boggling Action Meets Threadbare Storyline"

[afsalthodupuzha · 6/10 · 1 May 2016]

The posters and trailer of 'Baaghi' gave a firm idea of what to expect from the movie - limitless action and some breath-taking visuals in the backdrop of a stereotypical bollywood romance.Indeed,it is.

A mock-tail blended with 2004 Tollywood release,the Prabhas starrer 'Varsham' (Earlier remade in Tamil as Mazhai starring Jayam Ravi in the lead) and reknowed Indonesian martial arts flick The Raid::Redemption(2004),garnished with pinches of Tezaab(1988),36th Chamber Of Shaolin (1978) and The Karate Kid (2010) this Sabbir Khan movie is a mixed bag of excitement and dread as it suffers hardly due to its clichéd storyline that's based on the age old template of virtuous hero up against the evil villain.

The reason for a so-so experience is evident - lazy handling of the screenplay and relying entirely upon Tiger Shroff and his ability to pull off action sequences with ease and perfection.The screenplay by Sanjeev Dutta turns a roadblock in a smooth cinematic experience and had some more care been taken in handling the screenplay better by compromising unwanted comedy tracks and vomiting hackneyed romantic sequences,the movie could have been an instant cult action classic from bollywood,given the perfection in handling never-before seen breath-taking action sequences.

The action choreography is top-notch and undoubtedly the best from Indian cinema in quiet a long time and even compatible with films from the west.The park-our sequence,the climax fight etc were particularly brilliant and deserves special mention.

Tiger Shroff is a revelation as far as bollywood action films are concerned and it must be admitted that he along with likes of Vidyut Jamwal has raised the standards of action flicks from India that was struggling hard to find a bankable action star after Akshay Kumar who did some impressive works in his initial days in bollywood.

Cinematographer Binod Pradhan can be proud of the fact that he could capture the beauty of God's own country,Kerala brilliantly may it be the visual splendor of the snake boat race,the enchanting backwaters or the lush greenery of paddy fields in Kuttanad.Still,as a keralite I must admit the fact that the slang used by keralites in the film is far from original and the sets erected during the market fight sequence too was exaggerated and hostile to kerala.

The name Julius Packiam have become synonymous with thrilling background scores and here too he did his part well utilizing the enthralling single 'Get Ready To Fight' composed by Pranay Rijia.The songs by Amaal Malik,Manj Musik and Meet Bros were good and choreographed well.

Tiger Shroff looked convincing as the rebellious lover and was brilliant in handling action sequencs with perfection reminding of eminent martial artist specialists like Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais.Still,there was room for improving his acting skills which I guess he will,in films to come in the future.The fact that he has gained huge support from the viewers was evident by the big numbers in for the show,including a good number of families.Shraddha Kapppor didn't have much to perform than looking over-cutish which is a cake-walk for her.Shifu Shaurya Bhardwaj was impressive as the martial arts guru and mentor of Tiger.Sudheer Babu as the antagonist did his part well.Sunil Grover couldn't shine in the role of Shraddha's father.

Overall,Baaghi is worth a try if u can cash in some breath-taking action sequences and exquisite visuals of kerala and Thailand.

Old wine in a new bottle but this bottle looked good....

[fillerruth · 6/10 · 20 June 2016]

The story line is typical. There is nothing new in this story. The same build up of love relation, the logic of next move of the hero, something revenge and there is a villain who involves in the love interest of the heroine. Nothing new. The producer and the director choose a very masala type, mass entertainer, and a lot of action packed story. This strategy was proved good by the box office success. But after all, I want to thank the hero, Tiger Shroff because of his extraordinary stunt skills and good dancing ability. These two abilities saved the film and the director took the full advantage from these. The direction was OK, acting was above average (lead pair, the main antagonist, rest of the cast), Song was not so good (this is only my opinion, I haven't seen the top chart), Action was superb. After a long time, we saw a good action packed movie. I saw Rocky Handsome but this action was better. Tiger Shroff is a complete package of dancing, action stunts, and six pack abs figure. I like is action stunts most then dancing but his acting, dialogue delivery, face expression need more development. But after all, he is a good hero because he is very relevant of today's Bollywood action cinema. People like him as a complete package. The director tried to deliver us same old wine with a new bottle but I have to say, this Bottle is very new and looked good.

they had to make a martial arts movie, but same typical story

[faisalfaves · 6/10 · 30 April 2016]

I am giving 6 out of 10, because they have used the name of 'Martial Arts'. I love Martial Arts, but this movie had the same Bollywood typical story. They had to make it a pure Martial Arts movie.

As some reviewers say "This boy (Tiger Shroff) can't act, but can kick." He loves martial arts, he has the body, the skills but he don't have the idea how to say a dialogue, how to act a romantic scene, how to smile or how to help people to smile. And oh my god his lip- syncing is awful.

And Shraddha Kapoor as always acting same as she acting in her 1st movie "Ek Villain".

Some say this movie is copied from Telugu movie 'Varsham' and Indonesian movie 'The Raid'.

All I say is "One Time Watch".

Tom-Yum-Goong Ong Bak The Karate Kid Bloodsport et al

[lediscipledessocrates · 3/10 · 16 May 2016]

I do not want to write another word, methinks the title of this review is sufficient to suggest the long and short of it. However, I must write something sizeable for IMDb to publish it . So here it goes.

Tiger Shroff flaunts his impressive martial arts skills in this unimaginative and highly unoriginal action movie. There is no depth to any character and everything conveniently revolves around either action sequences or cheesy romantic angles.

The viewer doesn't have a clue why the story progresses the way it does . If the script is weak and worn out so is the screenplay.

However, there is a silver lining in this all-the action sequences. The movie is this respect is a homage to Chinese martial arts cinema.

Given he fact that I do not expect mainstream Bollywood to dish out original strong stories, I abstain from commenting further and would advice you to watch the movies mentioned in the Title of this review to gain further insights on the issue.

A Treat For Action Lovers--

[saptarshig · 7/10 · 4 May 2016]

Baaghi is a true entertaining film.People who love hardcore action,can be satisfied by this flick.The locations,specially Kerala is projected brilliantly.Tiger Shroff has gradually developed his acting after his debut film Heropanti.His action sequences are eye soothing for all. Shraddha Kapoor is always a package of entertainment,She has done full justice with his work,specially the Fight Sequences.Sanjay Mishra has done a good job by his ever worthy comic scenes.Sunil Grover has done his job good.Best part of the film is Debutant Sudheer Babu's performance.So,on the whole Baaghi is really an entertaining,yet a compact film.So who ever has not watched this power packed Entertainer,should really watch this in nearby theaters.

Tiger Shroff should look for some other profession.

[arunrathee411 · 1/10 · 16 June 2016]

Okay, So where to start from.

Story - 1/10 (full of cliché, unrealistic and cringe-worthy settings, romance and drama).

Acting - 0/10 (Okay, this is my favourite part. HOW IN THE HELL is Tiger Shroff an actor ? His acting is as good as a wooden stick. Goes to show that how big impact can Surname make in bollywood. And let's not talk about Shraddha Kapoor, literally same attitude and acting in every movie. You can cut out her scenes from any other movie and paste in this movie, you would never notice the difference).

Fighting scenes - 3/10 (Now some people are saying that this movie did good at what it was supposed to do. Not really. It was average at best.)

Overall - 1/10 (The movie is full of clichés, VERY VERY cheap romance and songs, every other person showing off their pecs and abs. Tiger Shroff should really look for some other profession. There are countless number of struggling actors who can act million times better than him. Only positive thing in the movie is fighting sequences, which aren't as good as people are saying. Average at best.)

Baaghi Review: Do not mess with these rebels in love

[DareDevilKid · 7/10 · 11 May 2016]

Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

Baaghi is one of India's most realistically choreographed action movies, and that rare Bollywood film, which not only showcases martial arts fights scenes, but does so with style, confidence, authenticity, and homage to this ancient and revered art form. (Other similar Bollywood vehicles that come to mind after watching Baaghi are Akshay Kumar's Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi and Vidyut Jammwal's Commando.) By no means will the film offer you a unique, immersive cinematic experience, but, then again, it doesn't pretend to do so either. What it sets out to do is take you on a pulsating, highly entertaining roller-coaster of emotions, romance, action, music, exotic locations, and, then, some more action – a feat that it accomplishes admirably well.

If you think that Baaghi is all about the action, then think again. If you're one of those who've seen the terrific 2011 Indonesian film, The Raid: Redemption, and assumed from some of the rushes in the trailer that Baaghi is a version of that film, then, once again, you couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, Baaghi is action- packed, yes the climax has a few elements similar to The Raid, but, at the end of the day, it's an out-an-out Bollywood potboiler done right after a long time.

Director Sabbir Khan handles some of the emotional moments as well as the action sequences with good maturity, showing how much he's improving with each film. However, he has miles to go before learning how to put together a cohesive narrative, and his handling of both romantic and comic sequences leaves a lot to be desired, with some pseudo-funny situations ending up being literally cringe- worthy.

Tiger Shroff has improved by leaps and bounds since Heropanti. His action skills were never in doubt, and they've been utilized to mind-blowing results here. There's no way that your heart won't beat faster every time Tiger spins a bad guy's head off with one of his cool kicks. But, it's his dialogue delivery that has shown a marked improvement, with him delivering some classic one-liners and witty repartees like a tough action hero should. However, he still needs to work quite a bit on handling emotional scenes.

Shraddha is no damsel-in-distress over here, and she makes a good case for making an action film centered on her alone. Her acting skills were never in doubt to begin with, and she impresses yet again. But, the surprise package all the way is Sudheer Babu, who strikes just the right balance between menace, over-confidence, and ruthlessness. He's a great discovery from the south, and after Baaghi, more Bollywood filmmakers should take notice of him.

At the end of the day, Baaghi will satisfy people who love a good entertaining ride, it'll satisfy those who love action films even more, and it'll also appease those who're looking for a sensibly made film that, though packs in a lot of commercial aspects, never goes overboard with them. It's not without its flaws or logical loopholes, but it draws you in, entertains you to the hilt, and leaves you with your heart racing. That's about as good as it gets for a weekend dose of entertainment.

Monkey can Jump too!!!!

[tmashuk · 1/10 · 23 December 2016]

Straight words: Monkeys can jump too, but they won't make a movie!!! Tiger Shroff's agility is commendable but just doing the same thing as Tony Jaa, is a bit too redundant and he was not as sharp as Tony. The movie was such a copy, it will put a photocopier in utter disgrace!!!

Fights had same old round house kicks and some, it seemed, figure skating moves, specially bouncing off of the wall was like the figure skating queen doing a jump in the air.

The story was a garbage. It was as if the producer got a man who can do a lot of kicks and so he thought why not throw in some paragraphs from here and there and voila!! There is this Baaghi movie!!! Tasteless!!! I won't recommend wasting 2 hours on this pile of cow dung. Just see a few trailers and you will enjoy what Shroff has to offer. No need to waste time.

Underrated!!!

[ankanpal-05407 · 6/10 · 6 January 2020]

Unlike its standalone sequel Baaghi 2,this film does not include the big guns and massive explosions,but it is certainly much better than most other action movies in Bollywood....Reported to be based on the 2011 Indonesian film The Raid: Redemption,many people consider the film as just a 'copy'...but I feel making the so called ' copies ' are definitely better than making Rohit Shetty movies....The film is much of a romantic movie in the first half but the real action begins with the second half with all those jaw-dropping action stunts performed by Tiger Shroff ......The storyline of the film is also quite decent but has been made a little dramatic at certain instances according to the demands of the Indian audiences...Shraddha Kapoor also performed brilliantly as she always does... Altogether this film entitled 'Baaghi-A Rebel for Love' is certainly a nice one-time watch action flick....Don't go by the rating as this film has got such a low rating of 5.2 which it does not deserve at all ....Just watch the film yourself and rate it ...I guarantee that most of the Bollywood fans are surely gonna like this movie

It Was Okay I Guess

[niaz_islam · 5/10 · 7 July 2016]

Let me explain the rating first. I will rate the movie as 3 star, but I gave 1 extra star for Shraddha (See Looked Way Too Cute In This Film), another 1 star for Tiger (For The Hard Work That He Has Done Throughout The Movie).

About the movie, although the movie script was full of plot holes, I have one big complaint which has bugged me the most. This was supposed to be a action film but the actions scenes are so fake as if the goons are waiting to get pounded. I know the action sequences were performed by the talented actor himself but in order to that there was no flow in those scenes. It looked like someone paused the goons and the actor made an amazing kick, there was no rush, rhythm or flow at all. So I cannot enjoy the action scenes at all.

And I will not get into the numerous plot holes in the script, then it will take hours.

So in short, it is a nice time pass movie not a must watch movie.

Best action Hindi movie since a long time!

[shettysurajk · 9/10 · 1 May 2016]

Very few better movies made for action lovers in India have been better. Last one I can remember is commando (vidyut jamwal). Tiger shroff pushes himself and carries the film on his fairly young shoulders. In reviews I have seen deliberate efforts to sabotage this movie before it takes off, but I still watched it and think this one has the content to carry it through. Kalari has been put to limelight and lot of patriotic dosage which many Indian films lack (compared to Hollywood boasting about American). Shifu Shaurya Bharadwaj is very lively and a real find for the big screen. He must appear more often in movies and show his Kalari moves. All in all a very good action movie (don't expect anything else) which guys should watch (even if their girl-friends don't want to :)) and in a country where movie stars influence the youth a lot this movie will inspire the youth and give them a bit of patriotic boost. Sudheer Babu (aka Raghav) also deserves a mention here.

Good action flick

[rajmannar-08230 · 6/10 · 17 July 2016]

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. The first half of the movie is a throwback to the 80's style of movie telling, almost straight out of Subhash Ghai type of stable, with the lead pair meeting in a train, some corny dialogues, rainfall followed by Song, heroine giggly, hero heady. It was almost a relief to just throwback to old times for a change. But, then the Action part comes on and from then it gets better, especially for all the action fans. The story is really not much to crow about and is basically an excuse for the action and fights. The good part is, it has been shot decently well. Tiger Shroff carries the movie on his own by his terrific flair for action and fights. It was refreshing to see a new face and a no- holds barred action actor after a long time. His uncanny resemblance to Jackie shroff evokes older Shroff's movies. Shradda Kapoor plays an ideal foil to make up the romantic pair. Her attempt at action though falls flat. The support cast are excellent, including the actor who plays the Martial arts teacher and the guy who plays the villain. Photography is terrific capturing the backwaters of Kerla to the the streets of Bangkok. Music is surprisingly good, including couple of hummable songs and a background score which is fitting to the action. Overall, a must watch for desi action fans.

Very Average and Predictable

[choudharyrinku · 3/10 · 14 May 2016]

Watched this movie today, Not so good! I rate this movie, 2.5/5

Negative- >Story is same as any other Love Story, very predictable. >Direction, Average. >Acting, well you do not hear a lot of good dialogues, its pure action based movie, uniqueness is that you will also see the actress showcasing her fighting skills, Acting is Average. >Even those, people like me, who wants to see this movie for its Fighting Scenes, will be disappointed. It looks Tiger Shrof is just kicking all the time, comparatively not the Level Matching Fighting Scenes, Fighting scenes will get in our mind to the extend where even Shroff's dancing steps will confuse you with his fighting moves >Supporting roles are more or less like just guest appearance, well you need to be a fighter to be a part of this movie thou and i believe this the reason they looked more like guest then supporting actors.

Positive- >Well not much here, but yes, Shraddhah is cute as usual. >Where Tiger is busy Smiling and Laughing in the first half and fighting in the rest, Shraddhah did manage to impress with her acting and fighting skills. >Songs are good and will definitely give you some enjoyable moments

Hated it

[lunaticleo-22019 · 1/10 · 15 April 2017]

This movie was a huge disappointment.The acting was terrible,the dialogues were extremely cliché .the story line was pathetic,horrible songs,idiotic fight scenes,the climax was unsatisfactory,the costumes were distasteful and the ending was dumb.In the first ten minutes so much had happened it seems like this was directed by a child( a child could probably do better) it felt lime at least two films had been shoved into one.the way the story progressed completely shredded the already insanely pathetic story.either the microphone was in their mouths or it was a voice-over whatever it was it was terrible.The two main actors cant act,completely incapable of showing emotions,the whole purpose of this ridiculous movie was to show who flexible Tiger Sherroff is,the fighting scenes are so long it's basically half of the movie and the other half is a rushed half ass-ed story.When Ronny fighting started at the building, one that fight scene was way too long, two had unrealistic aspects in the scene and it kind of got psychopathic. He clearly loved killing people more that the girl because when he finally got her, he still went out of his way to kill the bad guys.And the songs were absolutely ridiculous for example " lets fight". I applauded the fact that finally the heroine fought the evil henchman and the fact that the film tried to add a lot of English but i wished it didn't it just sent the cringe over board.Wasted 2 hours,totally not worth it.

"Baaghi: A Rebel For Love" is a treat for action film enthusiast but is strictly a one-time watch

[ketgup83 · 6/10 · 29 April 2016]

Few years back, Salman Khan starrer "Baaghi" was released in 1990 which was a box-office bomb. Fortunately, "Baaghi: A Rebel For Love" has no relation with Salman Khan starrer. It is based on a Telgu film "Varsham" and has shades of Indonesian action film "The Raid Redemption. "Baaghi: A Rebel For Love" is also second biggest release of Tiger Shroff after his successful debut "Heropanti". Can he make another blockbuster out of his second film ? Let us check out.

"Baaghi: A Rebel For Love" is a typical routine good vs evil flick which tells the story of Ronny(played by Tiger Shroff) who joins a Martial Arts Academy to train in Kalaripayattu skills. During his course, he falls in love with Sia(played by Shraddha Kapoor) who is forcibly getting married to Raghav(Sudheer Babu). In order to rescue Sia from the clutches of evil, Ronny must battle the henchmen of Raghav to achieve his goal.

Directed by Sabir Khan, whose previous work includes disastrous "Kambakth Ishq" and average "Heropanti" has followed the same path of commercial entertainer which he has done before."Baaghi: A Rebel For Love" is a typical love story we have seen on Indian screen ample number of times. The screenplay is poor with immature romantic track causing hindrance to the movement of the film. The director had made sure to make a masala potboiler for front- bencher and creates a senseless caper. "Baaghi: A Rebel For Love" is devoid of story and direction. What works is commendable performances and well-choreographed action stunts. Cinematography is eye-catching. Editing could have been better. However , action sequences played by Tiger Shroff , dialogues with witty one-liners are good. Hats off to Tiger for executing the near- to-perfection action scenes without any cables and body double. The hard-work clearly pays off and it is pleasure to watch the deadly stunts. He definitely has matured since his last film. Shraddha Kapoor does well in her part shows ample promises.

Overall , "Baaghi: A Rebel For Love" is a treat for action film enthusiast and is strictly a one-time watch. Decent -2.75/5.

Better than the other two

[ceeedeee · 5/10 · 30 June 2021]

Can watch this for the action scenes. Like the songs as well .

More then you would expect, I personally enjoyed the movie

[bollywoodking987 · 12 May 2016]

It was a pretty good time past and had appropriate violence. Followed its plot at all times and had a few unexpected twists. Don't go by the trailer because its actually way better then you what a normal average bollywood movie to be. Plus this is Tiger Sheroff's 2nd movie, gotta admit that he did an excellent job, so did Shraddha Kapoor. Rocky Handsome and Baaghi are probably the most violent bollywood movies of 2016 but they were both enjoyable but Baaghi is more appropriate and has less brutal violence. Baaghi doesn't look like a comedy movie but it had quite a few scenes which made laugh my head off. The songs were amazing and the action was lit. I give this a straight up a 8/10 because I enjoyed it with my family but it was like a mashup of some older bollywood films but still I don't care about, all I care about how good the movie was and I think it did pretty well. For sure one of my top 5 favourite films this year. I think this movie should've deserved a higher rating around a 7 or 7.5 because that pretty explainable. I think you guys should definitely go see it!

The first and the best of Baaghi series

[cseabhi · 6/10 · 11 May 2020]

Well this review is being written after watching Baaghi 3, obviously I have watched the baaghi series and it can be said this is the best in the series. There was some strong story with good action sequences. Music was also good.

Wrost Acting ,Not Recommended

[sahadathasanaf · 1/10 · 8 July 2019]

I Watched This Film Some Days Ago,This film Is Just Waste Of Time

This movie could be awesome, but...

[SreckoMNE · 6/10 · 22 October 2016]

It lacks seriousness. I mean, really? The cab driver and his partner? Sia's father? All scenes with those guys were ridiculous, but in a bad way, especially with the cab driver. The dialogues were totally unfunny, and ruined the whole movie. Also, the direction wasn't good as well. Some scenes seemed like you were watching making of the movie. e acting wasn't that good, especially Tiger Shroff's. That really annoyed me.

But let's talk about good stuff; Shifuji Shaurya Bharadwaj! He was awesome, he gave the power to this movie. All scenes with him were incredible, powerful! Just after I finished the movie, I wanted to know more about this man, and man, I was shocked!

Last 30 minutes of the movie were awesome! I felt like I was watching the real stuff! All of them were great, Shraddha, Tiger, Sudheer... The direction was awesome. Felt like I was watching totally different movie! Too bad it wasn't that good tho whole time.

Overall, 6/10! If the ridiculous scenes and dialogues were cut, it'd be 9 or 10/10. This movie had potential.

Old, stale formula film

[dineshprakash · 3/10 · 29 April 2016]

Direction is not impressive. Its a typical project. Fight, dance, under water song, comedy, sad songs, everything but all was remained in their mind. They fail to project or make you feel anything. Title is good but doesn't relate a bit with the content of film. If it starts raining when you meet with opposite gender person then it must be love, this is there sensibility about love when they try to give this film real touch. So, they stuffed marshal arts training center in story. If a film actress fight in film then she can fight in real life too. This is the understanding of character in their mind. Makers were completely confused that are they going to make some super hero or real flick. A blind person is driving taxi in Bangkok since years. Boy meets a girl in train and falls for her, villain sees her and falls for her too. Hero and Villain are being trained in same marshal arts school. So simple. Why does villain shifted to Bangkok not justified but makers have Bangkok locations in mind so story has to be shifted there. You know everything happening on screen. Not a single scene which has a bit of surprise for you. Girl father hurts himself and misguides his daughter about her boy friend that he had hit him. How can one take audience for so granted!? Even action scenes fail to create any thrill. Hero has to survive so he has to be shot near water stream even in pre climax, you are sure about his survival then all drama falls flat. Performance wise Tiger Shroff is good and excellent in dance and action but somehow strongly reminds of Hritik Roshan. Shradha Kapoor is just OK. Villain Sudheer Babu has stone face. Not a single expression except shrieking and fighting. That small boy is totally miscast. He creates irritation than required sympathy. His yeah, yeah is so boring. Sunil Grover as heroine father is wasted. He doesn't evoke a single laughter. Sanjay Mishra as blind taxi driver make you smile at his one liners at least.

Baaghi is Tiger Shroff's ode to Karate Kid, tom yum Goong, Ong Bak and raid 2 rolled into one with some Kickass tribute to The 36th chamber of Shaolin

[pawanfeverbaba · 9/10 · 29 April 2016]

I have loved martial arts ever since i was a child and grown up to movies like 36 chamber of Shaolin, enter the dragon, Ong Bak, tom yum Goong, to the classics like raid and raid 2 today. I always had a grouse when will a competent actor do this type of film in our industry. There was Akshay Kumar in 90s who did well in few action films but the std of action kept getting higher. Today the ones the true martial art film fans look upto are Iko Uwais , tony Jaa and we had guys in India with equal talent like Vidyut. you wish someone would direct a raid with Vidyut and let the world know India is not behind when it comes to international talent. but somehow he has lagged behind . I thank Tiger Shroff from the bottom of my heart for fulfilling one of my wishes so early in his career.

I never had high expectations from baaghi even after its good trailers mainly Cos i was wary of the director Sabbir KHAN who was behind Chutiyapas like Kambhakt Ishq and Heropanti. I have to take my words back in Baaghi Cos he has literally stunned me. He has give tiger shroff all the great moments that one expects from a star of his calibre. He has the karate kid moment with real life grandmaster Shifu Shaurya Bhardwaj (the guru) in Kalaripayattu. He has tony Jaa's epic Parkour scene moment in Ong Bak an excellent chase sequence . He has Iko Uwais moment in raid in the Pre climax fight in the building. BUT THE BEST OF ALL is the climax fight. I was BLOWN AWAY. The one on one of tiger Shroff with Sudheer Raghav (excellent and evenly matched villain to tiger Shroff). The climax fight overwhelmed me when Raghav , the man behind the murder of his Great father, sees his father in front of him seeking a fitting revenge in the form of tiger Shroff. I am yet to see this type of masterly direction from great filmmakers let alone a sabbir khan. never ever expected him to deliver a film of this level. The film is consistently engaging in spite of songs. Tiger Shroff is awe- inspiring in action scenes and a total bad ass in the second half. loved it . He is sincere and earnest in romantic portions though goes OTT in one or two scenes before interval. Shardhha is good in her role. Raghav , the nemesis is supremely talented and a fitting match to tiger. But the greatest character in the film has to be Shifu Shaurya Bhardwaj. He is the Katappa of Baaghi. the man who choked me in the climax fight. Rating : 4/5 (bigtime guilty pleasure)

Good Action , Boring romance and over the top Comedy.

[anupapu8 · 6/10 · 29 April 2016]

BAAGHI - i have just seen the trailer of the movie , before writing this review..Its a 3 min long trailer , out of which 2mn and 30sc have been shown as action sequences . And rest just 30sc as romance.. The thing i was discussing about the trailer is how wrongly movies are promoted in India. From the beginning i had the information that BAAGHI is a remake of south film VARSHAM (dubbed in Hindi as Baarish The season of love in case you have seen it on cable) , starring Pravaas and Trisha..Which by itself is an average movie full of clichés. Its also a very old movie (2004) to remake with nothing in it. But when i saw the trailer it looked like a good mixture of VARSHAM and THE RAID REDEMPTION (an Indonesian action film and one of my very favorite). And i was very much expecting less of VARSHAM and more THE RAID as the trailer shows , but like i said the movie was wrongly promoted. More then half of the movie is romance which is very average with no emotional connection to it and some training sequences which are directly taken from many Chinese movies along with Karate Kid and even CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA. Like i said VARSHAM itself was a very average movie , and if a source material is average how can copy be good. The martial art storyline was new and was not in Varsham , and it definitely made the movie better then VARSHAM , but its not enough. Because there were not enough action to consider it as a full-time action film. And that RAID REDEMPTION thing , VILLAIN BEING ON THE TOP FLOOR OF THE BUILDING AND OUR HERO HAS TO CROSS ALL HIS ARMY IN EACH FLOOR OF THE BUILDING was too short.. Why RAID REDEMPTION is a great movie ? because , it gives us 1hr and 40mins of non stop action of the hero being defeating villain's army floor by floor.. But its just last 20mins in BAAGHI and that's it. Tiger shroff can surly fight..No doubt in it and he can dance , but he cant act , i mean not as much as required to be a successful hero.. I cant actually say how far he can go with his Action and Dancing skills. The emotional scenes are badly done by him. Also in action sequences he emoted badly. Every time the camera changes its angle Tiger changes his emotions..Its like he use to forget what his emotions were when he was shooting the same scene before the director says CUT to change the angle..And he just keep repeating the line ITNI JALDI KYA HEI , ABHI TO MEINE SHURU KIYA HEI same as he use to repeat SBKO AATI NHI , MERI JAATI NHI in HEROPANTI. It really irritates me. Same goes for Shradha , she keeps on repeating TU BAHUT AAGE JAEGA. She was so much under utilized. And so poorly characterised and so much average dialogues were given to her that she couldn't have done anything except not doing the film. I mean after relaunching her carrier with ASHIQUE 2 , this is the first time she has selected a movie which does nothing good to her. And don't get fool out of the fight scenes she is doing in the trailers. You will not get more then 5 mins of her fighting. Sunil Grover , whom i never dislike , plays Shradha's father , and didn't at all looked as much old as he had to look for that role. But he surly provide some good comedy with his character , but the same character has been done better in VARSHAM by PRAKASH RAJ. Cant say the same thing for Sanjay Mishra. He was too much over the top as Blind Cab Driver in Bangkok. Sudheer Bapuu as villain was OK , and can do better villainous roles if better opportunities are given. He also can fight well. You can ask how the action sequences are , i will say that they were good. Quite entertaining. But if you will look with more concentration then you will get flaws in it to. For example the training session for Ronny (Tiger) was for Kalaripayattu which is a martial art form of Kerala..But when he went to fight villains he was not using that particular art of fighting. He was doing the same thing he was doing in HEROPANTI. Apart from that a little more concentration and you can watch people falling around our hero without getting punch. But that's just me. You can watch it without such concentration.

You can say that i didn't liked the movie as i have already seen VARSHAM first , but as i said i hadn't liked VARSHAM much by itself. In short Romance was boring , comedy is over the top , actions are good but with flaws in less then half of the movie. 6/10. By ANuP APu KuMaR

Nothing new to learn and it will not add any value to life

Shraddha Kapoor: Are you kidding me? Known for ABCD 2, Aashiqui 2? what's with this 2 thing anyway. Can anyone approve Tiger Shroff yet? Why it has to be only falling for a girl in most of the Bollywood movies? 6.1 isn't a rating to waste 133 minutes following 538 viewer's vote since a good theater holds over that number in a single show. This embarrassing number is from past 3 days? Are you kidding me again? We are done with such kind of Hindi movies, done please. There are movies people put in their list of movies to watch before they die. I don't want to reveal what I mean. Time to think that Bollywood needs to think. Nevertheless I am not that person who won't promote good things. Don't watch this movie.

Boring Movie. Mash up of ONG BAK, Raid Redemption, Tom Yoon Goong, etc...

Well to start up Baaghi is another boring love story with a lot of borrowing from Chinese movies. it is filled with a lot of action scenes and Tiger Shroff should be really appreciated for all efforts he has put in action, but he fails miserably as an actor. no matter how much body he builds or how long he grows he hair style he still looks like a baby in diapers he cannot get out of that girlish look. as mentioned action scenes are good but if you have watched the origin of this scenes from ONG BAK, Raid Redemption they fail to impress you. Storyline has nothing new its the same old bollywood drama of boy and girl meeting in train, falling in love, meet again and again coincidently villain also falls for girl kidnaps her......blah blah blah. have watched this in more than 100 Hindi movies.

Shradha as usual is sweet and has nothing much to do other than dancing in rain. ( stupidity to the Max when ever she is shown it rains). she has tried a few fights and has done well.

overall nothing new to watch and nothing interesting to say about it. should you watch this movie???? A big No. save your time and if you wanna watch some OK OK action movie this season watch Ghayal Once Again its a better one.
