Baaghi 2016

The film opens with the intense scenario of martial arts champion Raghav (played by Sudheer Babu) kidnapping the talented actress Sia (played by Shraddha Kapoor) from the set of her film, eventually whisking her away to Bangkok. In a desperate bid to rescue his daughter, Sia’s father, P. P. Khurana (portrayed by Sunil Grover), alongside the movie’s producer, scours various government offices, pleading for assistance. However, they are met with a stark refusal, as Raghav’s influence renders him untouchable. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Khurana realizes that the only person capable of saving Sia is Ronny (Tiger Shroff).

As the narrative unfolds, we delve into a flashback sequence where Ronny and Sia are seen traveling together on a train, unknowingly crossing paths with Raghav, who fixates on Sia and instructs his associates to gather information about her. Miscommunication leads to Ronny missing his intended stop, a misunderstanding that weighs heavily on Sia’s conscience. Seeking guidance, Ronny journeys to the school of Guruswamy (Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bharadwaj) in Kerala. A letter from his father reveals a troubling label placed on him as a “Baaghi,” suggesting he is one who defies authority. Thus, in a quest for self-improvement, Ronny turns to Guruswamy, who eventually fosters a budding romance between him and Sia.

In a heartfelt moment, Sia gifts Ronny a cherished ring passed down from her father, asking him to keep it close always. Meanwhile, Raghav expresses his desire to marry Sia to Khurana, who, in exchange for a substantial sum, considers this proposal. When Khurana discovers the ring on Ronny, he hastily informs Raghav, who, in fury, threatens to kill Ronny if he does not end his relationship with Sia. Guruswamy intervenes, standing firm against Raghav’s threats. However, Raghav’s malevolent nature takes a dark turn when he poisons and kills Guruswamy.

In a shocking twist, Khurana teams up with Raghav and falsely arrests Ronny, bailing him out with the ulterior motive of discrediting Ronny in Sia’s eyes. Khurana even inflicts harm upon himself to simulate a plot involving a fake ring, intending to plant seeds of contempt in Sia’s heart against Ronny.

The story shifts back to the present, where Raghav arrives in Bangkok and enlists the help of Harry (Sanjay Mishra). He infiltrates a local fight club, triumphing over a renowned fighter to gain notoriety. The following day, after a series of exhilarating confrontations with local thugs, he learns of Sia’s whereabouts through a series of power-packed scenes involving intense fights.

In a daring move, Ronny disguises himself as a doctor to enter the hospital where Sia is held captive. Amidst the chaos, they cleverly attempt to escape, only to be thwarted by Raghav. Yet, their undeniable love reignites when Sia sees her ring still adorning Ronny’s finger. Just as they begin to plot their escape back to India, Raghav re-emerges, leading to a dramatic confrontation where Viju, Raghav’s henchman, shoots at Ronny, sending him plunging into a lake.

Against all odds, Ronny survives, as Viju, in a rare act of compassion, refrains from taking his life. When Raghav turns against Viju, Ronny seizes the opportunity to confront Raghav. An exhilarating showdown ensues where Ronny draws from Guruswamy’s teachings to vanquish Raghav in a spectacular display of martial arts.

In the end, Ronny and Sia pay tribute to Guruswamy by visiting his school, where a statue stands in his honor, symbolizing the profound impact he had on their lives. The film closes on a poignant note, celebrating resilience, love, and the triumph of good over evil.
