The film Baaghi received mixed to negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, only 14% of 7 critics’ reviews were positive, with an average rating of 4.3/10. Bollywood Hungama was among the few to praise the film, giving it 3.5/5 stars and calling it a “typical masala entertainer” with strong action and performances. However, most critics were less impressed. Mohar Basu from The Times of India rated it 2.5/5, saying the film had little beyond Tiger Shroff’s action sequences. Ananya Bhattacharya from India Today gave it 2/5, suggesting it was worth watching only for the lead pair’s action scenes. Rohit Vats from Hindustan Times also gave 2/5, comparing it to a rushed mix of The Karate Kid, Bloodsport, and Ong Bak. Similarly, Anupama Chopra from Film Companion rated it 2/5, commenting that the film caters more to fans of martial arts moves than to lovers of cinema.
