Baaghi is literally all action stuffed together, like sardines packed in a can. The action viewed is awesome and exquisite. Even the location and the landscapes chosen are awesome, especially the one chosen for the song “Sab Tera”. Apart from the action, the little bit of comedy used was PERFECT.

STORY PLOT:

               The story plot begins with a gangste.er Raghav Shetty (Sudheer Babu) searching for Sia Khurana (Shraddha Kapoor), most probably his ‘love at first sight’ girl. Although the money shot of the movie comes in when Ronnie  (Tiger Shroff), a martial arts expert is sighted standing upside down on his thumb and forefinger. Then, as Sia was actress under a certain south indian movie director and they were in the middle of the shooting of a movie, when Sia was picked by Raghav to Bangkok, rather kidnapped. So, Ronnie was appointed by the director to rescue Sia so that he could complete the shooting. After denying once Ronnie excepts the offer in exchange of money. Then Ronnie and Sia are shown to have a bitter past. AND a heart soothing flashback starts.

                 Kollam junction in Kerala is shown, Sia is sitting in the train window seat. Comedian Sunil Grover played the role of Sia’s father. In the station Sia met Ronnie and both of them have a sweet bitter argument. Then, as the train had broken down in the station the goon Raghav , A martial arts champion then was made to wait in the VIP room of the station. And then it rained and as Sia had inborn love for rain she danced in the rain, meanwhile both Raghav and Ronnie had a love eye on her.

Ronnie had actually come to Kerala to learn ancient martial arts, Kalaripayattu from his father’s very good friend Guruswamy. Unfortunately, Raghav was his son. Ronnie’s father’s request to Guruswamy, as read in the letter was to mould Ronnie into a perfect martial artist or better said a perfect human being as he was very juvenile in his eyes. So, then and there guruswamy  instructed Ronnie to abide by the very strict rules of the academy. He was made to work everyday. Side by side Ronnie and Sia’a love story was a blissful trail. Whenever they met, it rained and Sia slowly fell in love with him. And has the evil Raghav had an eye on Sia from the very start he searched for her using his men in Whole Kerala. Finally he found her, Bribed her greedy father with a lot of money and fixed the marriage.

One fine day Ronnie drank and came back to the academy, abused the guruji. Then he was shown the mirror of his behaviour by guruji and then he came into his senses. When asked whether he would like to continue with the training he told him that his training had not even started, then with the awesome backkicks and punchlines he was made to realise that the work he did at the academy everyday was a part if his training, infact it was the initiation. Then Sia’s Father comes to know about Ronnie and his daughter’s love affair and he asks Ronnie to forget Sia. Then together with Raghav he plots against Ronnie and proves him a badass in Sia’s eyes. As guruji, Raghav’s father was against this, Raghav kills him to get him out of his way. Ronnie gets all broken due his guruji passing away and Sia’s disbelief in him. He leaves the city. Even Sia does the same.

               Then after story gets back to the current plot where in Sia is kidnapped by Raghav and Ronnie is on his way to Bangkok to rescue her. Out there in Bangkok Sia is molested and forced by Raghav to marry her. And the another to hilarious characters of the movie shukhi and his taxi driver brother-in-law come in. On ronnie’s instruction they drive him to a place where betting takes place upon boxing. HE wins a match and gets successful in his plan of reaching one of the goons of Raghav. He then finds out about his location and also collects information about his power like the imported goons he had and the power he had been able to establish and last but not the least where he had kept Sia. When Raghav takes Sia to the hospital for the treatment of a head injury that Sia got while fighting with Raghav’s men, Ronnie runs out with her from the hospital. Then misunderstandings get cleared out between them and a blissful romantic moment takes place. Again like in every Bollywood movie the bad guys appear and hamper the romance, hit Ronnie badly and kill him. Back in Bangkok Raghav gets ready to marry SIA, when she gets the vibes that Ronnie still is alive. And like their first meeting it rains and Ronnie enters Raghav’s apartment and floor by floor finishes off everyone rescues Sia and gets back to Kerala and reopens the academy paying homage to his guru. Therefore, it ended on a happy note.

  

REVIEW:

All in all the movie was an empty action packed drama. Not worthy to waste your weekend watching it.  The action choreography was actually really commendable. Shradha’s power packed punchlines at the end of the movie were commendable. She became a real time action girl. Tiger Shroff’s bronze body, six pack abs, grooving dance moves, awesome action were a eyesoother for girls around to drool over. Though he is still a newbie in his poor acting skills. The comedy part was belly jerking as well. There’s a bad example promoted or set in the movie that a father can backstab his daughter in such a ruthless way. The song “cham cham” has been choreographed perfectly. The perfect beachside has been selected for the making of the song “Sab Tera”. Kerala’s breath taking beauty has been cherished perfectly.
