The success of Baaghi 2 proves yet again that as an audience, we are always drawn to the typical Bollywood masala films that project its hero as an invincible one man kill-machine. However, Baaghi 2 has managed not just to rake in the big numbers at the box office but it has also charmed the rest of the industry big-wigs. Hrithik Roshan, who has signed an upcoming project with Tiger wrote on Twitter, “@iTIGERSHROFF !!! You’ve done it !!! I’m now looking forward to working with the BEST action hero in the industry! Bravo! Keep flying high!”
Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote in her review, “The trouble with a full-on masala film going in search of a plot is evident in the way the film unspools. The bare bones are borrowed from Telugu thriller Kshanam, but the fillings are all strictly Bollywood: the attempt to create difference gets diluted.”
Apart from Tiger, Baaghi 2 stars Disha Patani, Deepak Dobriyal, Prateik Babbar and Randeep Hooda in pivotal roles.
