Baaghi - 3/10.
Tiger Shroff has the potential (he can pull off handstands on his thumb and index finger & 'raise the flag', hopefully, without any vfx trickery) to do so much more, martial arts action-wise, but the movie fails to showcase all of it. & that's largely due to unimaginative action direction - the action sequences are repetitive, lack variety in terms of martial arts styles &/or use of props like nunchucks, & are often technically unconvincing (lacking a feeling of force behind the action moves, or the impact resulting from them). In particular, Shraddha Kapoor's fights looked very fake. There's even one instance where the stunt guy held his pose for a second, so SK could land a punch. Not all of the fights have such problems but there are enough scattered about to mar the experience.
None of the face-offs felt like much of a challenge for the hero. In fact, they were pretty 80s/SRK-esque in that the hero went from being helpless to being completely dominant within a set-piece, all thanks to a single emotionally loaded utterance by the bad guy. With kung fu movies, you tend to expect some out-of-the-box thinking (like coming up with a different style or move, for instance) in these situations. All in all, the fight choreography left a lot to be desired.
I don't know whether I'm being too harsh, but the fact of the matter is that a whole generation of Indian kids who grew up on Jackie Chan & Bruce Lee movies have come to expect a certain standard. This simply falls short of it.
I've only spoken about the action so far because that's what the main draw of the movie is, imho. The rest of the movie is otherwise (expectedly) pretty lame. The romance is from the 80s, the comedy is forced, & there's not much of a plot. One strange choice was the very rushed training montage (which is usually one of the more memorable elements of most kung fu movies). The casting of the guruji & the villain were, though, one of the few things they did get right.
All in all, the movie is 3-ish stars, mainly for Tiger Shroff.
