Expectations were high for Baaghi 4, the latest installment in Tiger Shroff’s acclaimed action franchise. Yet, the film’s first-day earnings have left analysts and fans divided, pointing to a modest box office debut.
Box Office Numbers at a Glance
- Reports confirm that Baaghi 4 earned approximately ₹12 crore (net) in India on its opening day
- When wider figures are considered, the global Day 1 collection crossed the ₹15 crore mark, but did not exceed it
- Trade insiders cite a producer-figure estimate of ₹13.2 crore (net) from India, suggesting some variance in reporting
Comparisons and Context
- Other films this week outperformed Baaghi 4. Notably, Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharaasi posted an impressive ₹13 crore opening in India, outperforming Baaghi 4 despite fewer screens
- Earlier entries in the Baaghi franchise opened stronger: Baaghi 3 earned around ₹17.5 crore on Day 1, and Baaghi 2 clocked approximately ₹25 crore—both significantly higher than the current film’s debut
What This Means
Analysts suggest that Baaghi 4's underwhelming start may reflect evolving audience expectations, increasing competition (especially from Madharaasi), and possibly mixed reviews. While advance bookings had generated buzz, translating that into sustained box office success may require strong word-of-mouth and long-term interest.
