I enjoyed the first half, and yawned through the much-too-long-drawn second.

In short, The Karate Kid enters Bloodsport and appears in a hurry to become Ong-Bak without losing the essential Bollywood qualities. Baaghi shines only in patches.

All in all, action sequences are fun to watch, but when too much action is accompanied with poor screenplay, it becomes unbearable, despite your lead actor’s ability to kick butt.

He’s got the goods of a solid action hero but it’s time to step out of the show reel space and shine under an actual script and a skilled hand who can bring out the Tiger buried under Jackie’s son and Hrithik’s fan. 

Low on genuine emotion, Baaghi is only as engaging as a badly designed video game.

Baaghi blooms only during the fights but by the time the clock ticks towards the climax, you are exhausted. How much can you hoot for broken necks and crushed bones? You could try finding thrill in Tiger’s kicks but the film has nothing more to offer.

The one aspect where Baaghi wins big is the cinematography. Binod Pradhan’s camera is adept at capturing the Vallam Kali (the boat race festival in Kerala) with equal ease as the fight-club sequences in Bangkok.

Watch Baaghi this week if you want to whistle along to Tiger and Shraddha’s bone-breaking punches.

Baaghi is an out and out action flick, which is ruined by romance and a tepid plot.

Though not unwatchable Baaghi lays way too much stress on optical thrills.Forget feeling for the lovers, you wait for them to stop singing dancing and fighting  long enough to give love a chance.This is a narrative so busy having sex it forgets to enjoy the orgasm.

If this were a Disney movie, there would be a song playing continuously: A tale as old as time… Before you can complete the song and sing, ‘Beauty and the beast!’Cliche upon cliche is piled up in this movie that should have been named Captain Obvious. Even the fights are so choreographed there is nothing new. Yes, the one star goes to Tiger Shroff for effort and for growing some facial fuzz.

I just think this is the sort of movie designed really well around the hero and therefore bumper numbers at the box-office, which this might well get. If not, I would change my name (just don’t call me Tiger, Leopard, or Cheetah, that’d just be just weird okay?)

Sabbir Khan’s filmmaking is average. Only high points in the film are its action sequences which are crafted in such a way that they will take away your breath. With a dash of comedy and emotions, ‘Baaghi’ turns out to be a one-time-watch. It is not an unmissable film, but you won’t regret watching it either.

Cinematographer Binod Pradhan swoops in to save the day, capturing Kerala in all its splendor. And then there is the martial-arts infused action. These are the only two things worthwhile in the movie.

Director Sabbir Khan should be credited for framing the well-conceptualised action scenes. But for the rest, writer Sanjeev Dutta left him with very little to play with. The songs in the film are great — only for your mid-film washroom visits. Almost 140 minutes long, Baaghi can get insufferable to a point that you hope the lead pair actually succumbs to the blows and we can all go home. But they don’t.

Shroff does a stand-up job of executing hand-to-hand combat moves, but there’s little else to look forward to. If you are looking for an all brawn and no brains feature, then watch Baaghi. Otherwise, it is wise to duck this missile of a movie.

High-end action saves the otherwise dull chemistry of this Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor starrer…

if you are an action movie lover or not, Baaghi, is a visual treat to everyone. The movie has romance, action, drama and edge of the seat thrilling scenes. The plus point of the movie is that it’s not predictable at all, and has many new twists which you can never think of!

Baaghi bored me largely. Watch it only if you are an MMA fan…

Baaghi is sincere but that doesn’t translate to good. Do you enjoy watching the film? Just the action. It is mostly too far-fetched and watching two expressionless dolls batting eyelids at each other is far from satisfying. If you are an action-junkie, you wouldn’t mind wasting your energy on this but for others this is a tiresome trek that doesn’t end on an exhilarating note. 

Apart from some exciting action sequences and trendy music, there’s not much that the film offers to look forward to. So if you’re looking for a one time watch, full of muscle and traces of mind, then go ahead and grab the film.
