Baaghi trailer is promising, but did the makers just leak the entire story?

The last time we saw Tiger Shroff in a movie was in 2014, when he debuted with Heropanti. Thanks to the trained martial artist that Shroff is, we saw him doing some really great action in that movie. It’s been two years since his debut, and even though newcomers usually don’t wait for that a long, we were convinced that there must be something about Baaghi that Tiger was willing to take that risk.

With the trailer of Baaghi out on the birthday of Shroff’s idol Aamir Khan yesterday, we are convinced that Tiger was right to have waited this long.

The trailer starts with Shraddha Kapoor narrating her life as Sia, and how she meets and falls in love with Ronny, played by Tiger. Both are rebels in their own right, but then comes the antagonist Raghav (Sudheer Babu), who shoots Ronny while claiming to love Sia more than anything.

Ronny recuperates, learns some more martial arts (like that’s possible) and comes back to ‘literally’ break bones, bang people’s heads in poles, push them into bricked walls while showing off his killer moves, and the trailer even counts the number of people he hits in those 3 minutes.
The action is obviously a notch higher than Heropanti, even more because while in the first film only Tiger did the stunts, this time, the leading lady Shraddha has also managed to give kickass action scenes.

However, there is one thing that is pricking me, and I hope that others too find it disturbing to the core. The makers, in this 3-minute long trailer, have told everything that there was to know about the movie. We know that Sia and Ronny would meet, fall in love, he would be shot and considered dead by Raghav, and would return to kill him. Whatever happened to the good old ‘let’s keep something hidden from viewers’ philosophy? Why would people, who have no such interest in action sequence, go and watch this movie when they know the entire plot, and the little action that they need is shown in abundance in the trailer, remember 114 ‘body counts’?

Directed by Heropanti fame Sabbir Khan, the movie releases on April 29^th.
