Baaghi

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.

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.

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.

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

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
