Baaghi works on the premise that Hindi film audiences leave theirthinking faculties home. Two young lovers escape certain death in a similarsituation and choose the very edge of the rocks to dance the blues away.

It's another of those tiresome stories of the underworld goon with a goldenheart. Only this time Sunjay Dutt has his heart set on Inder Kumar, and truesecurity guard that he once was, promises to save him from all those whothwart his true love for Tina. `Heroine' Manisha Koirala appears for all of12 minutes in the film and villain Gulshan Grover for 10. The second leadpair never had it so good.

Don't even look for sense and continuity. The Baaghi scenario is setin Mumbai's underworld, but the kids' college has banners saying `KeepShimla Clean'. The little son of college professor Shivaji Satam grows by 10years, but his parents, Sunjay Dutt and the rest of the cast don't age atall. Satam plays the upright professor in the pettiest situation, butchickens out when it comes to the crunch. All that talk about morality andhis son is shown to be a born extortionist.

Aditya Pancholi has a sister about 30 years younger than he is. Inder Kumaris pronounced dead by someone who looks like a qualified doctor. Obviouslyhe wasn't, for Sunjay Dutt revives the youngster with a mere wake-up call.Gangsters enter a bar where the bartender refuses to serve drinks for it ispast closing time. However, the guys are thrown out into broad daylight, andin the next shot, the clock says 11.00.

His friends tell Inder Kumar they're going eve-teasing, and coax him to jointhem. Guess where they go? To a shopping mall to tease the counter girls.There, Inder looks like he's admiring the girl on the other side of a fishtank. But it was the fish he was gazing adoringly at, for didn't he lick hislips?

Baaghi's not even a comedy.

With the kind of songs it has, this B-grade film didn't deserve a musicrelease. Actually, it didn't deserve a release at all.
