Baaghi (2016 film)

Baaghi is the 2016 Hindi remake of the 2004 Telugu film Varsham, with a climax inspired by the 2011 Indonesian film The Raid: Redemption. It stars Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles and Sudheer Babu in his Hindi debut, with Sunil Grover in a supporting role.[2][3] Baaghi was released worldwide on 29 April 2016. Made on a budget of 370 million (US$3.9 million), the film earned over 1.27 billion (US$13 million) worldwide.

Ronny, a rebellious and a strong martial artist faces his biggest battle when he has to travel to Thailand, to rescue the love of his life from a dreaded martial arts world champion who is also his biggest enemy.

Baaghi 2 (2018 film)

Baaghi 2 (2018) is the second installment in this series. It stars Tiger Shroff as the titular protagonist with Disha Patani in the lead role. It is a remake of the 2016 Telugu mystery film Kshanam.[4][5][6] Baaghi 2 was released worldwide on 30 March 2018 including 3500 screens in India.[7] Although the action sequences and the cast performances received praise, the film was criticized for its inconsistent script and direction. The film grossed over 2.53 billion (US$27 million) worldwide to become the third highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2018.[8]

A battle-hardened and a rebellious Indian Army officer goes in search of his ex-girlfriend's child who is mysteriously kidnapped. Neha reaches out to the only person who can help her with her plight, Ronnie. He goes deep into the underbelly of Goa, facing off against drug lords, menacing Russian henchmen, and blood-thirsty animals. Daring stunts, chase sequences, air strikes, bomb blasts, and other large scale action sequences will be done with a bona-fide, larger than life approach, truly making it a spectacle. The Rebel For Love gets ready to fight.

Baaghi 3 (2020 film)

A sequel, Baaghi 3, was commissioned after the success of the previous film and was also directed by Ahmed Khan, with both Tiger and Shraddha reprising their roles and Sunit Morarjee in a cameo role.[9][10] The core plot of the film is based on the 2012 Tamil film Vettai.[11] The film co-stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Vijay Varma, Jameel Khoury and Disha Patani, who played the female lead in the previous film, makes a special appearance in the song "Do You Love Me".[12] The action sequences were choreographed by Ram Chella, Lakshman Chella, and Kecha Khampadkee.[13]Baaghi 3 was theatrically released in India on 6 March 2020.[citation needed] The film's collections were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as the theatres were shut down. There were plans for a re-release once the outbreak would end, but the makers instead decided to release it on digital platforms.[14][15] The film became the second highest grossing Bollywood film of 2020.[16]

Ronnie, a young man, shares a deep bond with Vikram, his elder brother and a policeman. When Vikram gets kidnapped in Syria while on a mission, Ronnie sets out to rescue him taking on an entire country.

Baaghi 4 (2025 film)

The fourth and final installment is currently in development. Ahmed Khan said: "The owner of the film is Sajid Nadiadwala. If he decides that we should go ahead with Baaghi 4 we will do it. But we will keep the franchise alive definitely".[17] While interacting with Bollywood Hungama, Tiger Shroff said: "You know I have gotten so many messages and so many calls from people who've said they have unfortunately missed Baaghi 3, because of the situation in the world. They were really etching to see but could not, because of all that was happening. So, the only thing on my mind right now is Baaghi 3, and as you said, I hope they re-release the film. If not, then Baaghi 4 is definitely on the cards". Shroff announced on social media that Sanjay Dutt would be the main antagonist for the fourth movie.[18] The film was announced in November 2024 and will theatrically release on 5 September 2025.[19][20][21]

Ronnie returns in Baaghi 4 with a darker and more intense mission. This time, he is recruited by a covert international agency to stop a global terror network threatening world peace. As Ronnie travels across countries while thinking about his past life, he faces deadly assassins, cyber terrorists, and a ruthless antagonist played by Sanjay Dutt. The film blends large-scale action with emotional depth, exploring Ronnie’s inner turmoil as he fights for justice.

Directed by A. Harsha in his Hindi directorial debut, the film features Tiger Shroff reprising his role as Ronnie, alongside Sonam Bajwa and Harnaaz Sandhu. The film promises to push the franchise into a more gritty and global narrative. A first look poster released in November 2024 showed Ronnie bloodied and battle-worn, signaling the franchise’s darkest chapter yet.[22]

The film is was theatrically released on 5 September 2025.[23]
