Tiger Shroff is back as Ronnie in the fourth film of the franchise, Baaghi. But this time, he is fighting against Chaco, played by Sanjay Dutt. The much-awaited film, which also marks Harnaaz Sandhu’s Bollywood debut, finally hit theatres on Friday, September 5. She plays the role of Alisha, who falls in love with Ronnie but is separated by Chaco due to his personal vendetta. As Tiger fights this villain to bring back his lady love, does he impress the audience
Baaghi 4 opens with a chaotic accident sequence that immediately sets a disjointed tone. What could have been a gripping start quickly unravels, as Ronnie (Tiger Shroff) imagines a funeral, hallucinates violent outbursts, and spirals into confusion. Instead of building suspense, the segment feels forced and unintentionally silly.
The first hour of the film is packed with at least four songs, each breaking the narrative flow. Ronnie’s supposed love story with Alisha is rushed to the point of absurdity, with the pair suddenly professing they would “die for each other” without any emotional depth.To make matters worse, Ronnie loses every belonging tied to Alisha, and people around him insist she never existed. The dubbing and dialogue in these sequences are painfully weak, making it hard to take the story seriously.
The only spark comes from the ACP’s character (Upendra Limaye), who adds sincerity and genuine comic relief. Sonam Bajwa enters as Pratishtha, a bar dancer planted by Sanjay Dutt, and sent by Jeetu (Shreyas Talpade, Ronnie’s brother), but her role feels undercooked. Even Sanjay Dutt, hyped as the antagonist, appears for barely a minute before the interval.
The second half reveals that Alisha’s identity has been erased, pushing Ronnie on a mission to find her. Pratishtha briefly joins his fight before being killed off, revealing that Alisha is alive.
The narrative then takes a bizarre detour with an out-of-place bikini dance sequence, before diving into Chaco’s backstory.
Once in love with Avantika, who died on their wedding day, Chaco now sees Alisha as her lookalike, and this becomes his flimsy motive to target Ronnie. From here, the film collapses into a predictable action template, lies, sacrifices, loud confrontations, and an overblown climax where Ronnie inevitably wins.
