Baaghi Franchise A Step Away From 500 Crore Domestic Box Office Milestone: Baaghi 4 To Do The Honours?
BY SACNILK
Mumbai, September 2 - Bollywood action star Tiger Shroff's Baaghi franchise has emerged as one of the most bankable action sagas in Bollywood over the past decade. With its high-octane stunts, chartbuster music, and Shroff's ever-growing fan following, the series has maintained consistent box office success across its three instalments so far. The stage is set for the fourth instalment, which releases on September 5. Directed by A Harsha, Baaghi 4 is the darkest film in the Baaghi franchise, being the first to get an A certificate from CBFC. There is a great deal that depends on this film, which is also a make-or-break moment for Tiger, who has been going through a rough period. The success of Baaghi will not only give a big relief to Tiger, but it will take the Baaghi franchise past 500 crores gross collection at the domestic box office. Collectively, the franchise has already amassed around 428 crores in India with three films, making it one of the few Bollywood action series to maintain steady commercial momentum. With the arrival of Baaghi 4, the series now stands on the brink of entering the prestigious 500 crore club domestically. The film will need a little over 70 crores gross to take the franchise into the prestigious box office club, which looks like an easy task, given the past films of the series, but then, it will not be as easy as it looks in the current scenario. No Big Task But Need To Overcome Challanges Tiger Shroff was a real deal in the pre-COVID-19 era, where he consistently delivered box office numbers. However, things have changed since then, as his films have struggled to attract audiences to the cinema halls. For Baaghi 4 to help the franchise cross the 500 crore milestone seems like no herculean task, but it has to overcome challenges, including franchise fatigue and Tiger's poor box office form. Industry watchers believe Baaghi 4 has every chance of pushing the franchise comfortably past the landmark, provided it carries the same mix of adrenaline, emotion, and music that has been the hallmark of the franchise. If the upcoming instalment performs as expected, the Baaghi series will join the elite club of Bollywood franchises that have crossed the half-a-thousand-crore mark worldwide, strengthening Tiger Shroff's stature as one of the few stars who can drive a franchise on his shoulders.
