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.

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.

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".

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Why You Copied

1. SNAKE IN THE SHADOW (China) 2. ONG-BAK (Thailand) 3. VARSHAM (Hindi) 4. THE RAID (Indonesia)

I See You Too Much Copied The Raid Why Baaghi 2 and 3 Good Than First Because

Baathist Worst Because Copied.

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.

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.

Its really good action movie. and all over much better than Fan and others. Story is also good and you won't get bored.

Its similar to Rockey handsome (but not blood + killing here). Nice to see Bollywood pushing their limits.

Hats off to tiger for creating such scenes (i mean real scenes) If you like fighting actions, you must watch this.

Do not listen to those who just can not enjoy anything and always & always tries to find negative points from movies.

After all nothing is perfect.

My Rating - 7/10

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.

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)
