Baaghi 4 advance bookings cross ₹2.75 crore ahead of release

Tiger Shroff’s action franchise Baaghi is back in the spotlight as its fourth installment gears up for release this Friday. Early reports indicate that advance bookings for Baaghi 4 have already crossed ₹2.75 crore, a strong start that signals renewed interest in the franchise and raises hopes for a major box office opening.

For Tiger, this film carries immense weight. After back-to-back underperformers like Heropanti 2, Ganpath, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, the actor is eager to re-establish his position as Bollywood’s leading action star. Baaghi 4, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by A. Harsha, promises to deliver high-octane stunts, intense choreography, and a darker tone than its predecessors—a shift that many believe could resonate better with today’s audiences.

Trade experts note that the advance booking numbers are especially encouraging given the stiff competition from other releases, including The Bengal Files. While ₹2.75 crore may not rival the biggest pre-release numbers of 2025’s mega-blockbusters, it is a strong indicator of audience curiosity and franchise loyalty. “The Baaghi brand still holds weight,” one analyst remarked, adding that word-of-mouth on opening day will be critical in determining whether the film sustains momentum.

Social media chatter reflects cautious optimism. Fans are praising the raw intensity of the film’s trailer, which showcased Tiger in grittier, more emotional sequences, balancing his trademark action with a narrative of revenge and survival. Many are dubbing the film his “make-or-break” moment, urging others to support what they see as his shot at redemption.

Cinemas in tier-2 and tier-3 cities are reportedly showing stronger pre-booking trends compared to metros, where competition from Hollywood and OTT continues to divide attention. This suggests that Baaghi 4 could benefit from Tiger’s mass appeal in single-screen territories—a factor that propelled the earlier films in the franchise to success.

If the film maintains strong bookings through the week and delivers positive first-day word-of-mouth, trade experts believe it has the potential to aim for the ₹500 crore global milestone, though much will depend on its reception beyond the opening weekend.

For now, Baaghi 4 is off to a promising start, signaling that Tiger Shroff may still have plenty of fight left to reclaim his throne as Bollywood’s action poster boy.
