Baaghi 4: Tiger Shroff Returns with Darkest Chapter in Action Franchise

Latest Installation of Popular Action Franchise Arrives

Baaghi 4, directed by A. Harsha in his Hindi film debut and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, features a star-studded cast including Tiger Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Sonam Bajwa, and Harnaaz Sandhu.

The story follows Ronnie’s return with a darker mission, as he joins a covert international agency to combat a global terror network. His journey takes him across countries while confronting deadly assassins, cyber terrorists, and a formidable antagonist portrayed by Sanjay Dutt.

Box Office Performance and Reception

The film has faced initial challenges at the box office, opening below expectations with a collection of ₹11 crore nett on day one, marking it as the lowest opener in the franchise despite its wide release and higher average ticket prices.

For context, the franchise’s previous installments performed notably better, with Baaghi (2016) opening at ₹11.93 crore, Baaghi 2 (2018) making a massive ₹25 crore debut, and Baaghi 3 (2020) collecting ₹17.34 crore before the pandemic disrupted its run.

Production and Technical Aspects

The film, produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, boasts high production values, featuring state-of-the-art visual effects and meticulously choreographed action sequences designed to meet international standards.

Critics have given mixed reviews, with Bollywood Hungama rating it 3 stars out of 5, noting that while the first half impresses with gripping action and engaging drama, the second half takes a more commercial approach with an emphasis on songs and heightened emotions, primarily targeting mass audiences.

Looking Ahead

The film’s future success will largely depend on weekend trends and its ability to overcome competition, particularly from The Conjuring: Last Rites, which has recorded higher collections in India on the same day. After its theatrical run, Baaghi 4 is scheduled to be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
