With advance bookings open and fan frenzy at its peak, Tiger Shroff’s latest action thriller is expected to deliver one of Bollywood’s biggest openings of 2025.

The Baaghi franchise which began in 2016 has consistently delivered high-octane action and impressive box office returns. Now, with the release of Baaghi 4 scheduled for September 5, industry analysts and distributors are predicting another blockbuster performance from Tiger Shroff, Bollywood’s most bankable action star of his generation.

Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4

Franchise Built on Box Office Records

Each Baaghi film has set benchmarks since its inception.

  • Baaghi (2016): Collected around ₹129 crore worldwide.
  • Baaghi 2 (2018): Shocked the trade with a massive ₹25 crore opening day among the highest that year.
  • Baaghi 3 (2020): Despite pandemic restrictions, posted a strong ₹17.50 crore opening, the biggest of that year.

This track record has positioned the franchise as one of Bollywood’s most reliable action brands.

Anticipation for Baaghi 4

The teaser of Baaghi 4 has already fueled expectations of a darker and more intense storyline. With Tiger Shroff returning in a raw, gritty avatar, the film is being touted as the dark horse of 2025 potentially reviving Bollywood’s action genre amid a year dominated by big-budget releases like War 2 and Superman: Legacy.

A senior critic noted:

“Fans who missed Tiger Shroff’s bone-crushing action in War 2 are now eager to see him return to his strongest turf — high-octane action. Baaghi 4 could cement his standing as Bollywood’s definitive action superstar.”

Star Power and Global Appeal

The film also features Sonam Bajwa and Harnaaz Sandhu alongside veteran Sanjay Dutt adding star value across demographics. Promotional appearances on shows like Bigg Boss 19 and international fan meets have amplified its buzz.

Shroff’s fan base, known as “Tigerians” has created a social media storm, with hashtags and trend campaigns ensuring global attention. Trade experts suggest the film could set new overseas box office benchmarks especially in South Asia, the Middle East and North America where Tiger’s popularity continues to grow.

Advance Bookings and Early Predictions

With advance bookings already open, early indicators point to strong audience turnout. Multiplex chains in India, UAE and Pakistan report high demand especially for IMAX and premium screens. Distributors believe the film could register one of the biggest opening weekends of 2025, if positive word of mouth sustains.

Baaghi 4 is set for release on Friday, September 5 and expectations are high that it may challenge the year’s top grosser slot.
