Raghav Shetty is a [[Kalaripayattu]] champion and a dreaded gangster, who abducts Sia Khurana from her film set in [[Hyderabad]] and takes her to [[Bangkok]]. Sia's father, P.P. Khurana, along with the [[film producer|producer]] Dasanna seeks the government officers and cops for help, but no one is ready to assist them as Raghav is an influential man and there is unavailability of extradition treaty between [[India]] and [[Thailand]] in existence. Khurana then suggests to Dasanna that Sia's ex-boyfriend, Ranveer "Ronny" Singh is the only rebellious martial artist who can destroy Raghav and rescue Sia. Initially hesitant, Ronny agrees as he needs money to treat Subbu, a mute young boy who is being treated for his [[vocal cords]].
Raghav Shetty, a powerful don and martial artist, abducts Siya Khurana from her film set in [[Hyderabad]] and takes her to [[Bangkok]]. Siya's father, P.P. Khurana, along with Dasanna, a [[film producer]], seeks the government officers and cops for help, but no one is ready to assist them as Raghav is an influential person and there is no extradition treaty between [[India]] and [[Thailand]]. Khurana then suggests to Dasanna that Ranveer "Ronny" Pratap Singh, Siya's ex-boyfriend and a rebellious martial artist, can destroy Raghav and rescue Siya. Initially hesitant, Ronny agrees as he needs money to treat Subbu, a mute young boy who is being treated for his [[vocal cords]].


'''Past''': Ronny meets Siya on a train where he falls in love with Sia at first sight and also sees that Sia also carries a rebellious personality. Raghav also sees Sia and is besotted with her. At the behest of his late father [[Colonel]] Samarjit Singh, Ronny unwillingly becomes the student in the ''Kerala Academy Of Kalaripayattu'', headed by Samarjit's former army colleague and Raghav's father Kailash Shetty a.k.a. Guruswamy; in due course of time, Guruswamy disciplines Ronny into a ''rebel with a cause''; thus making Ronny as a rebellious martial artist of Kalaripayattu. As time goes on, Ronny and Sia fall in love with each other.

At the behest of his late father, [[Colonel]] Samarjit Singh, Ronny unwillingly becomes a student in the ''Kalaripayattu'' Royal Academy of Martial Arts in Kerala, headed by Kailash Shetty a.k.a. Guruswamy, Samarjit's former army colleague and Raghav's father. In due course of time, Guruswamy disciplines Ronny into a ''rebel with a cause'', thus making Ronny a rebellious martial artist and the master of the art of Kalaripayattu. As time goes on, Ronny and Siya fall in love with each other.


A money-minded Khurana agrees to marry Sia off to Raghav, who lures him with bundles of money. On learning that Sia is in love with Ronny, Khurana rats Ronny out to Raghav, who swears to kill him. Guruswamy overhears the plan and objects to it strongly. Feeling humiliated and enraged, Raghav kills Guruswamy by poisoning him to death. Later, Raghav tells his henchmen to get Ronny in front of him. The henchmen tries to harm Ronnie and the mute child Subbu, but Ronny beats up Raghav’s henchmen brutally. Following a confrontation with Raghav and later at Guruswamy's funeral, Khurana creates an atmosphere of misunderstanding in league with Raghav, causing Ronny and Sia to part ways.

'''Present''': Ronny reaches Bangkok and visits Raghav's fight club, beating the most potent fighter to attract Raghav's attention. Raghav sends his henchmen to kill Ronnie, but Ronnie beats them up brutally. The next day, Ronny breaks into the house of Raghav's right-hand man, Biju, and holds Biju's wife at gunpoint, forcing him to reveal Sia's location. Learning that she is at the local hospital, Ronny saves Sia and escapes with her under both of them being disguised. Raghav does manage to spot them, but couldn’t do anything. The two stop at an island on their way back to India, where Sia discovers her father's deceit and the couple reunite. Raghav and his men suddenly attack the couple off-guard; Biju shoots Ronny, who falls off a cliff.

Raghav takes Sia back to his place, but Sia realizes that Ronny is alive, with Raghav being alerted to his invasive underbelly moments later. Realizing Biju's treachery, Raghav questions him and Biju affirms that he spared Ronny as he had spared his wife earlier. Raghav is unconvinced and finishes Biju. Ronny storms Raghav's building and single-handedly fights all the killers and swordsmen in Raghav's employ. Ronny reaches Raghav, who initially overpowers him. Raghav also reveals that he was the one who murdered Guruswamy. Enraged, Ronny uses Guruswamy's signature moves to kill Raghav. Now happily together with Sia, Ronny becomes the new teacher in Guruswamy's school.

Baaghi (transl. Rebel) is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Sabbir Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. A partial remake of the 2004 Telugu film Varsham with a climax inspired by the 2011 Indonesian film The Raid: Redemption, the film stars Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles and Sudheer Babu in his Hindi debut, with Sunil Grover in a supporting role.[2][3]

Baaghi was released worldwide on 29 April 2016 and received mixed reviews from critics. Made on a budget of ₹35 crore (US$4.2 million), the film earned over ₹129 crore (US$15 million) worldwide.[4] Later, it spawned two spiritual sequels titled Baaghi 2 (2018) and Baaghi 3 (2020), thus becoming the first installment in the Baaghi film series.

Plot

[edit]

Raghav Shetty, a powerful don and martial artist, abducts Siya Khurana from her film set in Hyderabad and takes her to Bangkok. Siya's father, P.P. Khurana, along with Dasanna, a film producer, seeks the government officers and cops for help, but no one is ready to assist them as Raghav is an influential person and there is no extradition treaty between India and Thailand. Khurana then suggests to Dasanna that Ranveer "Ronny" Pratap Singh, Siya's ex-boyfriend and a rebellious martial artist, can destroy Raghav and rescue Siya. Initially hesitant, Ronny agrees as he needs money to treat Subbu, a mute young boy who is being treated for his vocal cords.

Past: Ronny meets Siya on a train and falls in love with Siya at first sight. He also sees that Siya also carries a rebellious personality. Raghav also sees Siya and is beset with her. At the behest of his late father, Colonel Samarjit Singh, Ronny unwillingly becomes a student in the Kalaripayattu Royal Academy of Martial Arts in Kerala, headed by Kailash Shetty a.k.a. Guruswamy, Samarjit's former army colleague and Raghav's father. In due course of time, Guruswamy disciplines Ronny into a rebel with a cause, thus making Ronny a rebellious martial artist and the master of the art of Kalaripayattu. As time goes on, Ronny and Siya fall in love with each other.

A money-minded Khurana agrees to marry Siya off to Raghav, who lures him with bundles of money. On learning that Siya is in love with Ronny, Khurana rats Ronny out to Raghav, who swears to kill him. Guruswamy overhears the plan and objects to it strongly. Feeling humiliated and enraged, Raghav kills Guruswamy by poisoning him to death. Later, Raghav tells his henchmen to get Ronny in front of him. The henchmen tries to harm Ronnie and Subbu, but Ronny beats up Raghav’s henchmen brutally. Following a confrontation with Raghav and later at Guruswamy's funeral, Khurana creates an atmosphere of misunderstanding in league with Raghav, causing Ronny and Siya to break up and part ways.

Present: Ronny reaches Bangkok and visits Raghav's fight club, beating the most potent fighter to attract Raghav's attention. Raghav sends his henchmen to kill Ronnie, but Ronnie beats them up brutally. The next day, Ronny breaks into the house of Biju, Raghav's right-hand man, and holds Biju's wife at gunpoint, forcing him to reveal Siya's location. Learning that she is at the local hospital, Ronny saves Siya and escapes with her under both of them being disguised. Raghav manages to spot them, but couldn't do anything. The two stop at an island on their way back to India, where Siya discovers her father's deceit and the couple reunite. Raghav and his men suddenly attack the couple off-guard, where Biju shoots Ronny, who falls off a cliff.

Raghav takes Siya back to his place, but Siya realizes that Ronny is alive, with Raghav being alerted to his invasive underbelly moments later. Realizing Biju's treachery, Raghav questions him and Biju affirms that he spared Ronny as he had spared his wife earlier. Raghav is unconvinced and finishes Biju. Ronny storms Raghav's building and single-handedly fights all the killers and swordsmen in Raghav's employ. Ronny reaches Raghav, who initially overpowers him. Raghav also reveals himself as the mastermind behind Guruswamy's death. Enraged, Ronny uses Guruswamy's signature moves and kills Raghav, thus avenging Guruswamy's death. Now happily together with Siya, Ronny becomes the new teacher in Guruswamy's school.

Production

[edit]

Shroff trained and took up stunt classes for the film.[5][6] Sajid Nadiadwala hired a special team of 50 people to keep Shroff's look under wraps. The makers did not want his look to be revealed because of his role in the film being distinct from his role in Heropanti.[7] Telugu actor Sudheer Babu was signed to play a negative role, making his Bollywood debut. Shooting for Baaghi started on 27 May 2015.[8][9] The shooting of the film completed on 21 February 2016. The film was extensively shot in India and Thailand. Soma Kerala Palace, Kochi was shown in the movie as the KARMA Institute (school of Guruswamy). Song "Sab Tera" was shot in the exotic Poda Island.[10]
