Who payed the critics
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreFirst of all, I'd like to give praise to India's importance of family, relationships, and traditional customs. While in other cultures, premarital sex has no boundaries, it appears as a normal way of life, but will this have a negative influence to future generations? I immediately felt intense chemistry between these leading actors, yet their attraction never once influenced improper motives. Overall, I really enjoyed the display of expertise in mixed Marshall arts, the beautiful Cinematography, and I sure hope to see more films with these fine talented actors.
... View MoreI 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.
... View MoreReviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.5/5 starsBaaghi is one of India's most realistically choreographed action movies, and that rare Bollywood film, which not only showcases martial arts fights scenes, but does so with style, confidence, authenticity, and homage to this ancient and revered art form. (Other similar Bollywood vehicles that come to mind after watching Baaghi are Akshay Kumar's Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi and Vidyut Jammwal's Commando.) By no means will the film offer you a unique, immersive cinematic experience, but, then again, it doesn't pretend to do so either. What it sets out to do is take you on a pulsating, highly entertaining roller-coaster of emotions, romance, action, music, exotic locations, and, then, some more action – a feat that it accomplishes admirably well.If you think that Baaghi is all about the action, then think again. If you're one of those who've seen the terrific 2011 Indonesian film, The Raid: Redemption, and assumed from some of the rushes in the trailer that Baaghi is a version of that film, then, once again, you couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, Baaghi is action- packed, yes the climax has a few elements similar to The Raid, but, at the end of the day, it's an out-an-out Bollywood potboiler done right after a long time.Director Sabbir Khan handles some of the emotional moments as well as the action sequences with good maturity, showing how much he's improving with each film. However, he has miles to go before learning how to put together a cohesive narrative, and his handling of both romantic and comic sequences leaves a lot to be desired, with some pseudo-funny situations ending up being literally cringe- worthy.Tiger Shroff has improved by leaps and bounds since Heropanti. His action skills were never in doubt, and they've been utilized to mind-blowing results here. There's no way that your heart won't beat faster every time Tiger spins a bad guy's head off with one of his cool kicks. But, it's his dialogue delivery that has shown a marked improvement, with him delivering some classic one-liners and witty repartees like a tough action hero should. However, he still needs to work quite a bit on handling emotional scenes.Shraddha is no damsel-in-distress over here, and she makes a good case for making an action film centered on her alone. Her acting skills were never in doubt to begin with, and she impresses yet again. But, the surprise package all the way is Sudheer Babu, who strikes just the right balance between menace, over-confidence, and ruthlessness. He's a great discovery from the south, and after Baaghi, more Bollywood filmmakers should take notice of him.At the end of the day, Baaghi will satisfy people who love a good entertaining ride, it'll satisfy those who love action films even more, and it'll also appease those who're looking for a sensibly made film that, though packs in a lot of commercial aspects, never goes overboard with them. It's not without its flaws or logical loopholes, but it draws you in, entertains you to the hilt, and leaves you with your heart racing. That's about as good as it gets for a weekend dose of entertainment.
