Baaghi 4 is the latest outing from Bollywood action hero Tiger Shroff. The film hit the screens today. Let’s see how the film is.

Story:

Ronnie (Tiger Shroff), who survives an accident, is haunted by memories of his lover Alisha (Harnaaz Kaur). But Ronnie’s brother Jeetu (Shreyas Talpade) tells him that Alisha doesn’t exist in reality and that she is just Ronnie’s hallucination. Cut to the next scene, Jeetu is killed by a gang of henchmen. Who are these thugs? What is their connection with Ronnie? Why did they kill Jeetu? Does Alisha really exist, or is she just part of Ronnie’s hallucination? The answers to these questions form the crux of the film.

Plus Points:

Tiger Shroff once again delivers his trademark performance as an action hero. His stunts in the heavy action sequences are captivating. Former Miss Universe Harnaaz Kaur, who plays Alisha, makes a confident debut. She shines in her role, which has multiple shades for the most part.

Sanjay Dutt gets a significant role with ample scope. He looks menacing, and his performance during the action blocks works well. Sonam Bajwa did a decent job. Some action sequences are intense. The interval bang is engaging, while the climax is just about okay.

Minus Points:

In action-driven revenge films like these, the core point must be strong, but this is where Baaghi 4 doesn’t get things right. The hallucination angle in the first half is dragged for no reason and takes too long for the audience to understand.

After a point in time, the stunts performed by the protagonist for the leading lady become tiresome to watch. The love track in the first half is extremely boring. On top of that, the songs add to the woes.

Despite the film featuring good actors, their characterizations are underdeveloped. Sonam Bajwa’s role has no real purpose. She just comes and goes, making one scratch their head. The heroine’s performance in the pre-climax disappoints. The makers’ attempt to run the film completely on heavy action and a love track failed big time.

Technical Aspects:

Director Harsha didn’t have much control over the film. The story, screenplay, and production are handled by Sajid Nadiadwala, leaving the director with little to no scope to make things better. Cinematography is decent. Music also fails to make an impact. Editing could have been way better. Production values are good.

Verdict:

On the whole, Baaghi 4 is a routine revenge action drama that fails to impress. Tiger Shroff’s stunts, heroine’s performance, and Sanjay Dutt’s looks are the very few good things about this flick. The routine nature of the story, boring screenplay, and considerable lag in the narrative make Baaghi 4 a tiresome watch. Action movie lovers are advised to look for other options this weekend.

Housefull 5

The recent Bollywood comedy thriller Housefull 5 was released in theaters on June 6, 2025. It featured two different endings, Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B, but received an unimpressive response at the box office despite its star-studded cast.

Starring Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, and Sanjay Dutt, the film is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Both versions are offered in Hindi, but the surprising part is that viewers need to pay nearly Rs. 700 to watch both parts on the platform.

The ensemble cast also includes Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, and Johnny Lever.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Warda Nadiadwala, and Firuzi Khan, and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, this comedy-thriller may have aimed to entertain, but the big question remains: will home audiences be willing to spend Rs. 700 on this underwhelming Hindi release?

The highly anticipated fifth installment of the superhit Bollywood comedy franchise, Housefull, was released worldwide earlier today. Given the franchise’s success rate and the fanbase it enjoys, the film opened on a huge note. Check out our review to know if the film has managed to meet the sky-high expectations.

Story:

Housefull’s story entirely takes place on a luxury cruise ship. Billionaire Ranjit (Ranjit) writes in his will that his entire property should go to Jolly, the son of his second wife, following his death. Dev (Fardeen Khan), Ranjit’s first wife’s son, along with several board members, plans to grab that property. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Ritesh Deshmukh board the cruise ship, claiming to be Jolly. Who is the real Jolly? Who is committing the murders on the cruise ship? This forms the main crux of the story.

Plus Points:

The star cast of Housefull 5 hints about the craze for the franchise. Watching so many stars on a cruise ship is a rare opportunity for the audience. While Housefull 5’s story follows a routine template, it succeeds in leaving the audiences in splits thanks to the non-stop comedy.

The confusion comedy that drives the narrative has worked out quite well. While the first half runs at a slow pace, the narrative gets on track eventually, getting the audience involved in the movie. That said, the introduction of several lead characters, the comedy scenes, the interval sequence, and the following twist in the story are the major highlights of this installment.

The suspense and comedy hold the entire movie together, leaving the audience engaged. The big surprise reveal in the climax is enthralling. Even though the film features an ensemble cast, the way their characterizations are designed is quite impressive.

Minus Points:

The fate of Housefull 5 would have been different if the screenplay had a perfect finish that’s essential for such a routine comedy entertainer. This aspect is grossly missing in Housefull 5. Adding to this, the lethargic narration in the first half and the lag scenes in the second half only test the audience’s patience. However, the comedy scenes that were churned out one after the other salvage the situation to an extent.

While watching all our favorite Bollywood stars together in a single frame is exciting, proper care should have been taken in handling their roles. One gets a feeling many actors have been wasted in poorly etched roles. The senior actors, in particular, have been given lackluster characterizations. Coming to the music, the songs are just okay, and their placement is bad. The comedy seems to have been forcibly inserted in a few scenes.

Technical Department:

Director Tarun Mansukhani has impassively handled a long list of popular Bollywood stars. However, he should have focused more on the overall output for better audience engagement. Writer-producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s screenplay should have been better. The editing could have been crisper in several scenes. While some songs are captivating on the screen, it’s the background score that earns more points. The cinematography is decent, and the production values are grand.

Verdict:

Housefull 5 is a routine comedy entertainer. The huge star cast, captivating twists, and surprising cameos are the only highlights of this installment. On the other hand, the routine story and the lackluster narrative act as major drawbacks of this movie. If you are a fan of the Housefull franchise, you’ll have to keep your expectations in check while watching this outing.
