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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
