Tiger burns bright.
Hindi films are fast turning into no-brainers. Earlier comedies took the leave-your-brains-behind route and now action films are telling us to do exactly that. We"ve been told to enjoy the action set pieces and not trouble ourselves into finding any strand of logic in such offerings. Baaghi 3 faithfully adheres to this new formula. Sample this - a villain ( Jaideep Ahlawat) kidnaps Indians along with their families and smuggles them to Syria so that they can be turned into human bombs. Vijay Varma"s character acts as a friend, philosopher and guide to Ronnie ( Tiger Shroff) in Syria without them ever knowing each other before. He"s literally a genie come to life.
The film is hugely inspired by the Tamil hit Vettai ( 2012) , starring Madhavan and Arya. There, Madhavan played a timid police officer who doesn"t have a stomach for violence but his younger brother Arya, who is a rowdy, beats up the goons and gets his brother promoted like every time. The same is the scenario here. Vikram ( Riteish Deshmukh) becomes a cop at his uncle, and younger brother"s behest as their father ( Jackie Shroff) too was a cop. Ronnie ( Tiger Shroff) cleans up the town while Vikram gets the credit for it. A routine mission to Syria involving filing paperwork goes awry when Vikram is kidnapped by terrorists. Now Ronnie has to cross borders to rescue his brother from a crime boss who controls an entire nation.
