BAAGHI 2 – An interesting premise messed up with all typical filmy insertions and forced action. (Review By Bobby Sing)

As the film began on a thrilling note introducing Tiger Shroff as a military officer, I thought probably this time we have a better remake in hand in comparison to the original Telugu film KSHANAM (2016), where the lead actor was shown to be a (more realistic) ‘non-gym freak’ businessman working abroad.

However the positive assumption got proved wrong in the very next scene itself, where our Hindi film hero began beating the inspector and every single policeman in the police station looking for the expected claps. And from here onwards BAAGHI 2 moved back to the same old typical insertions focusing on the other skills of its lead couple apart from ‘acting’. 

Based on an unpredictable and an engaging plot, it thankfully manages to put up a decent show till intermission featuring two veteran artists playing the superior cops. But unfortunately, seizes to continue doing the same in the second half and soon becomes a messy presentation, deliberately trying to bring in some explosive but unrequired action, satisfying the young icon's fan following. Particularly the bizarre action sequence taking you to a jungle kind of setting all of a sudden (out of nowhere) brings down the film to a below average level, forcibly inserted to show Tiger in the much publicized ‘Rambo’ avtaar.

On the other hand, an otherwise interesting plot of a missing kid girl loses all its potential impact (forgetting the logic) after a while, establishing no emotional connect with the viewer. And all you get to see is two well-toned beautiful bodies of the leading stars (Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani), two experienced actors (Manoj Bajpai and Randeep Hooda) seriously willing to excel their feebly written roles, two talented actors (Deepak Dobriyal & Darshan Kumaar) not given much to do and some overacting done by Prateik Babbar in a yet another chance given by the film fraternity.
