Baaghi 4 The Storyless Franchisee and Illogical Bonanza is Back!

Surprising nobody but many a dismayed soul, Bollywood action hero in limbo Tiger Shroff is all set to return with Baaghi 4. Though you thought that the previously released stories were the pinnacle of silly action and incoherent storytelling alone, get ready for more: Baaghi 4 promises to take this “plotless” franchise to new lows.

A Franchise Without a Cause

From a fairly run-of-the-mill romantic action film, at least on paper, emerged the Baaghi series in 2016. It had a simplistic plot: a rebel fighting for love. But as the franchise went along, it discarded not only its story but all pretensions towards sense and logic, by the time we reached Baaghi 3, where Tiger Shroff was fighting helicopters, tanks, and presumably, his disbelief with the script.

Now, with Baaghi 4, it seems that the makers have fully subscribed to their no-story, no-issue mantra. The tagline of the film should read, according to sources within the industry: “Why plot when you can have Tiger Shroff somersaulting through explosions?”

What to Expect in Baaghi 4?

We can outline as follows:

A few of the impossible stunts executed include punching meteors, dodging missiles, and probably engaging in an intense fistfight with climate change.
Villain? Who cares? He could be an evil CEO or some guy who looked at Tiger the wrong way. He could be nobody at all—Tiger is punching air for two hours.
If it has any plot, it might be to do with saving a dog or cat – maybe even a spaceship. Anything goes with CGI.
Sources close to the production spill the beans that action sequences are designed by those people who choreograph video games. Apparently, physics will be optional as it has been in the previous ones.

Critics or Fans? Even They don’t Know

Let’s get down to the elephant in the room – who watches these films? The Baaghi series has managed some miracle feat of survival, having been roasted by critics and audiences alike. Formula seems to depend on mutually reinforcing elements: add gymnastic stunts, throw in some loud background music, and voila! You’ve got a movie.

Die-hard fans, who imagine the protagonist to be nothing more than Tiger Shroff’s abs, think the film is so stunt-heavy that it deserves to win an Oscar. Critics have described the Baaghi franchise as “two hours of visual noise” and “an insult to the concept of storytelling.”.

The Absurd Action: A Short History

If you’re new to the franchise, here’s a quick recap of the most absurd moments from the previous films:

Baaghi (2016): Tiger fights and defeats the whole martial arts academy with moves he probably learned on YouTube.
Baaghi 2 (2018): The plot of rescuing the kidnapped child took a back seat to the real star-a Tiger who can kill enemies with one slow-motion kick.
Baaghi 3 2020: Tiger takes on the Syrian military single-handedly. Yes, you read that right. Forget geopolitics-just send Tiger next time.

Why Baaghi 4 will be exactly the same — and worse.

Truly gifted martial artist, Tiger Shroff has somehow become Bollywood’s go-to actor for illogical action movies. Problem isn’t that the guy doesn’t have the skills-it’s the complete lack of effort to create a story around it. Baaghi franchise doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a platform for showcasing flips, jumps, and biceps of Tiger.

In Baaghi 4, expect Tiger to deliver dialogues like “Main aaya hoon tumhari barbaadi banane!” while standing atop a skyscraper which is about to explode- for no apparent reason. And let’s not forget the female lead who will probably spend the movie either getting kidnapped or clapping for Tiger’s stunts.

Social media reaction:

As expected, the news of Baaghi 4 brought forth a meme-fest on social media, and here are some gems:

“The only Baaghi of this franchise is the plot. It’s clearly run and rebelled away.”
“Baaghi 4 is proof that Bollywood does not believe in storytelling—just six-packs and slow-motion.”
“How about a 2-hour movie in lieu of a Tiger Shroff gymnastics tutorial?”

Not even his fans know whether to celebrate or apologize.

The Baaghi franchise: A review.

Baaghi is perhaps the embodiment of the worst exhibitions of Bollywood’s addiction to form over content, as it succeeds in outdoing the art of distraction by dazzling audiences with gravity-defying stunts that ensure they don’t notice the glaring absence of logic, character development, or coherence to the narrative.

While action films do not necessarily demand intricate plot lines, they do require purpose and, to some extent, believability. Baaghi manages neither. Instead, it settles into a series of stunts stitched together with dramatic music. Final words: Do we need Baaghi 4? In a world that wants meaning in whatever’s fed to them, an announcement like Baaghi 4 can only be likened to Bollywood saying, “We hear you, but here’s another Tiger Shroff flip.”

The franchise won’t grow, won’t innovate, or even try. Does Baaghi 4 make money? Probable. Is it going to be good? Doubtful. But one thing for sure: Tiger Shroff’s abs will get more screen time than any script ever will. Buckle up, hold on to your seat, and relax your brains for another series of complete rubbish. Baaghi 4 coming your way, whether you like it or not.
