I was initially skeptical while going through all the reviews by'famous critics' from the media, whether to watch the movie or not.
However, applying the logic that media critics and so-called experts these days think from the wrong ends of their body, I decided to take the risk.
Turns out that the risk was definitely worth it.
Baaghi is a pretty good mix of the traditional Bollywood romance and playfulness combined with high-octane action scenes. The story was well woven around every character, however it lacked the defining punch. The director perhaps could have slightly reduced the romantic component(say by about 5-8%) in the first half of the movie.
Nonetheless, Baaghi highlights the coming of age for Tiger Shroff. The young actor outdid himself from his previous movie. His acting skills have definitely improved over time especially since Heropanti.
The best part about Tiger is that he plays his natural self and doesn't bother with imitating any big league stars. Tiger has acted very well transforming from a happy-go-lucky-yet-rebellious-youth to a matured and seasoned martial artist.
Shraddha Kapoor has acted well but has a limited action sequence in the film. Despite the limits of her role, she has done her best and it is visible in the movie.
One of the key highlights of the movie is how proudly it conveys India's rich martial history, emphasizing about how Kalaripayattu travelled from India to China and how the Shaolin was established by our great sages. To this date, this truth shamelessly continues to evade our history books, thanks to a nexus of leftist-elite who intentionally undermine India's cultural history for their own benefit.
While the storyline is somewhat predictable, Baaghi is definitely worth a watch just for the efforts put in by the young actors and the beautiful scenic locales of Kerala.
