Baaghi 4 — Did Tiger Go Too Far?
Okay, quick chat about Baaghi 4 — Did Tiger Go Too Far?
I watched the trailers and a few clips. To be honest, I walked away with mixed feelings. I’m a fan of high-octane action. But sometimes even I felt — whoa, hold up.
Have you seen any of the promo bits? If yes, you know what I mean.
Tiger Shroff’s signature — and the problem (Baaghi 4 — Did Tiger Go Too Far?)
Tiger is the action guy. No debate. He trains, he jumps, he lands — mostly without a double. I remember the first Baaghi. That raw energy felt fresh. Real stunts. Real sweat.
But here’s the thing. In Baaghi 4 the stunts are turned up to eleven. Helicopter jumps, physics-defying flips, explosions that feel like video-game set pieces. It’s flashy. And, I get it — people want spectacle. Still, there’s a point where spectacle starts stealing the story.
To be fair, spectacle sells tickets. Slow-motion kicks. Shirtless fights. Fans eat that up. But as a viewer who likes a bit of balance, I felt the scale tipped. Too much dazzle, less emotional grounding. What do you feel about that?
Stunt craft vs. spectacle — where should the line be? (Baaghi 4 — Did Tiger Go Too Far?)
From what I’ve seen covering action films, there are two kinds of action that work:
Practical, grounded fights — messy, tactile, believable.
Hyper-stylized set-pieces — cinematic, larger-than-life, sometimes silly.
Both are fine. The trick is balance. Practical stunts sell pain and consequence. Hyper-stylized scenes sell fantasy.
With Baaghi 4 the team seems to have picked fantasy. And that’s okay if the film leans into it and the story supports the scale. But when every scene screams “bigger,” you risk numbing the audience. I actually felt that fatigue halfway through the trailer.
A small insight: practical stunts, when mixed with selective VFX, often read better emotionally. Too much CGI can flatten impact. Just my take.
Why some people say Tiger “went too far” (Baaghi 4 — Did Tiger Go Too Far?)
People argue different things. Here are the main complaints I’ve noticed — and why they matter:
Believability: When action ignores rules, it’s fun for five minutes. Then it feels like a cartoon. That’s where viewers switch off.
Narrative trade-off: Big set-pieces need breathing room in the script. If every scene is a stunt, character arcs get shoved aside.
Safety and realism concerns: As an aside, pushing for bigger practical stunts ups the risk for performers. Production teams must balance wow-factor and safety. I respect that effort. But still — responsible filmmaking matters.
On the flip side, this is exactly what Tiger’s audience loves. If your target is mass-audience spectacle, Baaghi 4 checks boxes. If you want nuanced action drama, maybe not.
Is Bollywood just copying trends? (Baaghi 4 — Did Tiger Go Too Far?)
This is a bigger debate. Bollywood borrows — as every industry does. South Indian and international films pushed the limits in the last few years. That raised the bar. Producers now feel pressure to escalate.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes it looks forced. With Baaghi 4 I felt a bit of both. A part of me admired the ambition. Another part wished for quieter moments. You know, human moments that let a punch mean something.

Q: Is Baaghi 4 all stunt, no story?
A: Not necessarily. But from trailers and clips, action dominates. Story may be minimal compared to spectacle.

A: Tiger is known for doing many stunts himself. Still, large-scale sequences usually mix stunt doubles, rigs, and VFX. That’s standard.

Final thoughts — honest and simple
So, Baaghi 4 — Did Tiger Go Too Far? My short answer: kind of. To be honest, yes — in parts. But also, that’s the package the film sells. It’s loud on purpose.
I’ll watch it once. For the thrill. For the stunts. For the popcorn moment. But I won’t expect depth. And that’s fine. Movies don’t always have to be deep.
