If you were hoping the fourth installment of Tiger Shroff’s high flying action franchise would be a return to form, the early buzz on social media might be a disappointment. Mere hours after its release, Baaghi 4 is trending on Twitter, but not for the reasons its makers would have hoped. The film is being widely panned by viewers, who are calling it everything from a “cringe fest” to a “storyless violence simulator,” suggesting that even the appeal of its “Desi Stallone” lead might not be enough to save it.
The Baaghi series has always been a benchmark for gravity defying stunts and raw, hand to hand combat choreography in modern Hindi cinema. Tiger Shroff built his career on this very specific, physically demanding niche. However, according to the chorus of voices on Twitter, Baaghi 4 appears to have forgotten that even the most spectacular action needs a coherent plot and believable characters to anchor it.
What Viewers Are Saying on Twitter
The initial wave of Twitter reviews for Baaghi 4 is overwhelmingly negative. The criticism is focused on a few key areas that seem to have united viewers in their disappointment.
A Formula That’s Run Its Course?
Many tweets point to a sense of exhaustion with the franchise’s formula. One viewer, @FilmBuff_Avinash, summed it up: “#Baaghi4 is the same movie all over again. Angry man, kidnapped loved one, endless faceless goons. Zero story. Maximum cringe. The law of diminishing returns has hit this franchise hard.” This sentiment is echoed across dozens of posts, suggesting audiences were expecting evolution, not repetition.
Style Over Substance, Taken to the Extreme
The most common complaint revolves around the film’s perceived lack of a narrative. Critics on the platform aren’t mincing words. User @CityLightsCine posted: “Watched #Baaghi4. It’s not a movie, it’s a 150-minute loop of Tiger Shroff breaking bones to a generic background score. A cringe violent mess with no story. My brain feels bruised.” The term “brainless action” is being used frequently, indicating that the action sequences, however well choreographed, feel unearned and excessive without a story to support them.
Praise for Tiger, But With a Caveat
Even amidst the criticism, Tiger Shroff’s personal effort isn’t going unnoticed. His physical prowess and dedication to doing his own stunts are still getting nods of respect. User @ActionMovieFan tweeted, “Let’s be clear: Tiger Shroff is a phenomenal athlete and the only reason to watch #Baaghi4. He is our Desi Stallone. But even Stallone had a Rocky script. This film gives him nothing to work with. It’s a waste of his talent.” This highlights the central dilemma for fans: they admire the star, but can no longer excuse the weak material he’s given.
Is There Any Positive Buzz?
It’s not a complete bloodbath. A segment of viewers, primarily die hard Tiger Shroff fans, are celebrating the very things others are criticizing. Some tweets praise the non stop action as “paisa vasool” (value for money) and are happy to see their hero do what he does best for another few hours. However, these positive viewer reactions are significantly outnumbered by the critical ones.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is Baaghi 4 a direct sequel to the previous films?
A: Like most entries in the franchise, Baaghi 4 is a standalone story. It features a new character and a new scenario for Tiger Shroff, so you don’t need to have seen the previous films to follow this one (though critics might argue there’s not much to follow).
Q2: So, is the action in Baaghi 4 at least good?
A: By all accounts, the action is technically impressive and Tiger Shroff is in peak physical form. The criticism is that the sequences are so relentless and devoid of narrative stakes that they become numbing and, for some, even boring.
Q3: Who is the director of Baaghi 4?
A: The film is directed by Ahmed Khan, who also directed Baaghi 3.
Q4: Are there any other notable performances in the film?
A: Most of the Twitter conversation is solely focused on Tiger Shroff and the film’s overall lack of story. Other performances and characters have not made a significant impact on early viewers, for better or worse.
Q5: Should I still go watch Baaghi 4 in theaters?
A: That depends entirely on what you’re looking for. If you are a dedicated Tiger Shroff fan who loves pure, unadulterated action with zero expectation of a plot, you might enjoy the spectacle. If you need a compelling story to go with your fight scenes, the overwhelming consensus from Twitter suggests you should wait for it to hit a streaming platform.
The Final Verdict from the Public
The conversation around Baaghi 4 on Twitter paints a clear picture: audience patience for style without substance is wearing thin. While Tiger Shroff remains a unique and bankable action star, this latest outing is being seen as a missed opportunity. It serves as a reminder that in the age of social media, where word of mouth spreads faster than ever, a film needs more than just a talented lead to win over audiences. It needs a heart, a brain, and a story worth telling.
