If you thought Bollywood had reached its peak in action films, Baaghi 4 is here to tell you otherwise. The trailer for the latest installment in the Baaghi franchise just dropped, and it’s as wild, gritty, and chaotic as anything we’ve seen from Tiger Shroff, maybe even more so.
This time, Tiger isn’t just jumping off buildings or punching through walls. He’s playing a man who’s lost more than just a fight; he’s lost his mind, or at least that’s what the world tells him. Add to that a villainous Sanjay Dutt, a mysterious love interest, and enough flying limbs to rival a Tarantino film, and you’ve got something that’s impossible to ignore.
Tiger Unleashed: From Officer to Outlaw
The trailer opens like many action thrillers do, with a shadowy figure storming through a group of terrified men. But here’s the catch: Tiger is not so much your regular hero. One minute he’s in a clean naval uniform, the next he’s covered in blood, wielding an axe like he’s on a private warpath.
There’s obviously a duality involved. We’re introduced to a version of Tiger’s character, Ronnie, who’s haunted by memories of Alisha, the woman he loved and lost. But here’s where things get strange: everyone around him insists Alisha never existed. Was she real, or is Ronnie simply holding on to an illusion?
This psychological layer of intrigue adds depth to Baaghi 4 beyond that of its predecessors. It’s not merely about rebellion or revenge; this time it’s about madness, grief, and identity. And Tiger appears to be enjoying this shift.
Sanjay Dutt: The Demon in the Shadows
In steps Sanjay Dutt, whose bloody introduction in a church pretty much sets the tone for his character: violent, uncontrolled, and perhaps even worse than Ronnie himself. There’s something old-school yet unsettling about Dutt’s screen presence here. He doesn’t have to scream to intimidate; he just shows up, bleeding and silent, and that’s enough.
As the trailer unfolds, we find out that Alisha, played by Harnaaz Sandhu, who’s making her Bollywood debut, might actually be alive. She’s being held by Dutt’s character, which flips the narrative completely. Maybe Ronnie’s not crazy after all. Or maybe the truth is even messier than it looks.
A Love Story Drenched in Blood
In between all the chaos, we get flashes of soft romance, sunlit moments between Ronnie and Alisha that feel like they belong in another film entirely. And maybe that’s the point. These glimpses of happiness are so short-lived that they only add to the emotional weight Ronnie seems to carry.
But don’t be fooled. Baaghi 4 isn’t a love story. It’s a story of obsession, survival, and whatever comes after you’ve lost your grip on everything real. The line between love and madness gets blurrier with every scene.
Action That Doesn’t Hold Back
Let’s talk about the action. If you’ve followed this franchise from the beginning, you already know Tiger’s capable of some jaw-dropping stunts. But here, the violence is darker, grittier, and honestly, quite graphic. There are impalements, beheadings, and bone-crunching fight sequences that feel more visceral than anything we’ve seen in Baaghi 1-3.
It’s no surprise that fans have already started comparing Baaghi 4 to Animal and even Ghajini. And sure, there are similarities: the psychological trauma, the heavy-handed violence, and the emotional unraveling of the lead character. But Baaghi 4 seems to mix all those influences into something that’s uniquely intense.
The Internet Reacts: “Tiger is Back”
Online reactions to the trailer have been overwhelmingly positive, especially from action lovers. One comment simply read: “Bollywood action level: upgraded.” Others hailed it as Tiger’s big comeback after a few quieter years at the box office.
Of course, there were also some mixed reviews. A few viewers pointed out the film’s tone feels eerily close to Animal and questioned whether the franchise is starting to lose its originality. But even the skeptics admitted one thing: Baaghi 4 looks absolutely insane in the best possible way.
What to Expect on September 5
Directed by A. Harsha and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Baaghi 4 also features Sonam Bajwa, Shreyas Talpade, and Saurabh Sachdeva in supporting roles. With a screenplay designed to keep you guessing and visuals that don’t flinch, the film looks like it’ll appeal to more than just action junkies.
It releases in theaters on September 5, and if the trailer is anything to go by, it’s going to be a wild ride. Whether you’re in it for the blood, the love story, or the psychological unraveling of a man on the edge, Baaghi 4 promises something raw and relentless.
