Baaghi 4‘s first half is a surprise. It is very intriguing and also has plenty of funny moments. The intermission point is clapworthy and one expects a banger second half. Sadly, post-interval, the film goes downhill and how. The writing gets messy and the goings-on fail to make any sense. The finale is tiring and doesn’t give a high. Tiger Shroff does well in action and also shines in emotional scenes. Sanjay Dutt is just okay, though his look is quite stylish. Harnaaz Sandhu is decent while Sonam Bajwa is a big surprise. Shreyas Talpade lends able support. Upendra Limaye is the scene stealer yet again. Saurabh Sachdeva (Paulo) is dependable. All in all, Baaghi 4 shows promise initially but quickly loses direction in the second half.
My rating – ** out of 5!
