Baaghi 4 box office collection: Tiger Shroff and Sanjay Dutt’s action-thriller Baaghi 4 has earned Rs 12 crore on Day 1, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. Directed by A Harsha, the film also stars Harnaaz Sandhu, Sonam Bajwa and Shreyas Talpade in pivotal roles.
The film had an overall Hindi occupancy of 28.32% with night shows amounting to the maximum of 37.23%. The collection of Baaghi 4 is almost similar to that of the first part which made Rs 11.85 crore on the first day while it trails behind the second and third part in the franchise which minted Rs 25.1 crore and Rs 17.5 crore respectively. Baaghi 3 also had a limited theatrical release due to the outbreak of Covid-19 at the time of its release in March 2020.
The actioner, however, is faring well in comparison to Tiger’s previous releases since the pandemic. His 2022 film, Ganapath made just Rs 2.5 crore on its opening day with a lifetime collection of Rs 13.02 crore. Even Heropanti 2 earned just over Rs 6.7 crore while Bade Miyan Chote Miyan made Rs 15.65 crore despite its star value.
Baaghi 4 is facing tough competition with The Conjuring: Last Rites, which made Rs 18 crore on its opening day and the Malayalam superhero actioner Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra which has earned Rs 62.45 crore since its release.
Baaghi 4 is the first film in the franchise that is not adapted from a South Indian film. It is based on a screenplay written by Sajid Nadiadwala, who also serves as the producer. It was released in theatres on September 5, clashing with Vivek Agnihotri’s political-drama, The Bengal Files.
CE’s review of the film read, “Baaghi 4 defies expectations before it can challenge physics. The film begins with a major jolt. There is no pretense of a build-up or an inciting incident. The first time we see Tiger’s Ronny is not through glorious staging and slick camerawork. He is just seen battling for life as his car is banged by a truck. There is no anticipation created for his entry as one would expect from a massy actioner like this. Instead, it is all too nonchalant, all too meh. Violent or not, one thing is clear: the film lacks any sense of rhythm from the get-go.”
