Baaghi 4 is the fourth installment in the popular Baaghi action franchise, and it finally hit the big screens on 5 September 2025. Directed by A. Harsha (in his Hindi debut) and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film brings back Tiger Shroff in a gritty, psychologically intense avatar.

Story & Theme

In Baaghi 4, Tiger Shroff plays Ronnie, a man scarred by a tragic past. After surviving a catastrophic accident, he awakens from a coma only to discover that something about his life — especially about his girlfriend — is deeply wrong. The people around him claim she never existed. Driven by grief, guilt, and confusion, Ronnie embarks on a dark, dangerous mission to uncover the truth. This gives the movie a psychological-thriller edge, not just raw action.

Action, Direction & Style

True to the Baaghi legacy, Baaghi 4 is packed with action. But this time, the action is darker and more brutal. The movie combines fistfights, chase sequences, and intense combat scenes with a psychological layer. Critics have noted that while the action sequences are (mostly) strong, some parts of the plot feel overly violent. The director A. Harsha brings new style, though some reviewers feel the screenplay could have been tighter.

Censor Cuts

The film faced strict censorship — according to reports, the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) imposed 23 cuts, removing violent scenes, suggestive dialogues, and even some graphic sequences. This has made the movie even more controversial for its content.

Box-Office Performance

• On its opening day, Baaghi 4 earned about ₹12 crore in India.

• On Day 2, there was a significant drop, with collections falling to around ₹4.28 crore as per trade reports.

• In its first three days, the movie crossed ₹30 crore in net collections.

• By day 7, it had earned around ₹44.5 crore (India net).

• According to some box-office trackers, the total worldwide gross is about ₹77.67 crore.

• Trade verdict: Many consider it a box-office flop relative to expectations.

Critical Reception & Audience Response

• The film has received mixed to negative reviews: critics have praised the action, but criticized the story, screenplay, and writing.

• According to a review on BollywoodUncovered, the writing feels recycled, and the violence is quite graphic — the movie doesn’t bring a fresh twist to the Baaghi formula.

• On social media and discussion forums (e.g., Reddit), some viewers say the film is “watchable once” — the action is decent, but the plot is predictable, and the emotional parts are weak.

Controversies & Piracy

• Baaghi 4 was hit by piracy soon after release. Reports suggest it got leaked online within hours of hitting theatres.

• The censor board cuts (23 of them) raised eyebrows, especially because of how graphic some scenes originally were.

Why It Didn’t Click As Expected

1. 
   

   Weak Storytelling: While action is good, the thriller twist feels underwritten.

2. Violence Overload: Some critics feel there’s too much bloody violence without narrative depth.

3. Box-Office Drop: Huge first-day hopes, but big drop on Day 2 and weak hold got people worried.

4. Mixed Performances: Tiger Shroff’s action is solid, but acting (especially emotional) is seen as limited by some reviewers.

5. High Expectations: Since Baaghi is a strong action brand, audiences expected a big hit — but the numbers didn’t live up fully.

Why It’s Still Worth a Watch

• If you’re an action-movie fan, you’ll appreciate the fights and stunt choreography.

• For Tiger Shroff fans, this is one of his darkest and most physically demanding roles.

• The psychological twist makes it more than just a “run-and-fight” movie — there are mysteries, regrets, and emotional layers.

• Cinematically, it’s visually intense, and the sound design / action score is quite strong.
