Story: Movie revolves around Ronnie (Tiger Shroff) who survives a terrible car accident and comes out of a seven-month coma and goes through what seems like post-traumatic stress disorder. He is devastated as he has lost his love Alisha (Harnaaz Sandhu) and keeps visiting her grave.
But his brother Jeetu (Shreyas Talpade) wonders if ever there was anyone like that in his life, when Ronnie’s doctor Anand (Mahesh Thakur) asks this question. Another girl Olivia (Sonam Bajwa) is sent into Ronnie’s life by his brother but she does not regard her as more than a mere friend. She becomes his confidante, the only one he trusts with his torment.
The police inspector (Upendra Limaye) step in when Alisha’s existence cannot be proven, and matters take a darker turn after Jeetu’s mysterious death, leaving Ronnie accused of fratricide. Adding to the chaos is Paulo (Saurabh Sachdeva), a gangster working for the volatile Chacko (Sanjay Dutt) whose obsession with a woman named Avantika complicates the plot further. Who is Avantika and what connects her to Ronnie’s fractured world? What is the truth? Watch this movie to find out the answers.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View: When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie in cinemas on release date as loved the action sequences and liked previous movies of this franchise. A man survives a suicide attempt, but his reality blurs. His loved ones question him as a hidden truth draws him into a web of obsession and enduring love.
Baaghi 4 story is inspired from 2013 Tamil film Ainthu Ainthu Ainthu. Since this is a Baaghi franchise, two factors are a compulsion: one is there must be a love story and second, there must be a lot of violence. It impresses in its first half with gripping action and engaging drama. The second half takes a more commercial route with an emphasis on songs and heightened emotions, catering largely to mass audiences. The screenplay holds interest, while the background score heightens emotions and keeps you hooked. Tiger proves once again why he is an action superstar. Sanjay Dutt is pure evil as the ruthless villain, while Saurabh Sachdeva and Shreyas Talpade deliver solid performances. Sonam and Harnaaz shine in their roles, adding more than just glamour. Action choreography doesn’t necessarily stand out but blends well with Tiger’s style, making it enjoyable. The second half, in particular, keeps audiences entertained, at times even unintentionally so. The film’s color palette is thoughtfully crafted, never straining the eyes. Overall, it serves as a big-screen action potboiler.
The plot is sluggish, and the screenplay is a disaster. The film throws multiple twists at the audience, but most of them are silly, unnecessary, or downright laughable. At times, it feels like you are watching three or four half-baked films stitched together into one. The execution is clumsy, the storytelling is incoherent, and the pacing is unbearable. Within minutes, you begin to wonder who approved such a script. The film has no sense of direction, no emotional core, and no logical foundation to keep you invested. Even the background score, which should ideally heighten tension, feels uninspired and forgettable. The blame ultimately falls on director A. Harsha, who seems helpless in dealing with such a weak script. At 163 minutes, the film drags, especially in its stretched-out first half that merely lays the groundwork for the real story. The action in movie is so senseless that it doesn’t even serve as a point of discussion, let alone take the story forward. By the second half, you give up trying to follow who’s fighting whom and for what reason. If you are still interested in knowing, I genuinely thought Ronni was fighting for my sanity, but turns out, that battle was lost way back in the first act. By the climax it’s so messed up that whoever came up with it should apply for PTSD counselling before writing anything else – logic is dead, emotion is buried, and the story has been cremated with full honors.
Overall, movie relies on stylized action but often goes overboard. It also fails to back it up with a gripping story, leaving this franchise outing more exhausting than entertaining. The spectacle keeps you hooked, but the narrative logic often takes a backseat, leaving moments that should land with impact feeling oddly hollow. In the end, movie is not just a bad sequel but it’s easily the worst entry in the franchise. My view on this movie Time Pass only for franchise and Tiger Shroff fans.
