The last time we met Ronnie (Shroff) was an army commander and the film endorsed the controversial moment when an Indian army man using a Kashmiri<\/a> man as shield on his jeep as \u201cpatriotism\u201d. Back then, I remember thinking that it wasn\u2019t possible for the film to get any more tone-deaf or clueless about geo-politics. Turns out, I was wrong.\n\nIn Baaghi 3<\/em>, Ronnie threatens to destroy Syria<\/a> (which looks impossibly pristine for a country ravaged by war) and wipe it off the map because clearly, the country doesn\u2019t already have troubles of its own. The only way the existence of this film makes sense is if it results in a crowdfunding petition to send the film\u2019s makers a stack of newspapers to keep them updated with world affairs.\n\nThat\u2019s not to say that the film is devoid of humour. The funniest part of Baaghi 3<\/em>, besides Shroff\u2019s continuous attempts at making his facial muscles emote as diligently as his chest and calf muscles, is that someone is credited for the story. In the third installment, Ronnie is neither into martials arts nor in the Indian Army<\/a>. Instead he plays a nanny to his bumbling older brother Vikram (Riteish Deshmukh in need of an intervention). His job is limited to showing up whenever Vikram yells in danger \u2013 even if it is from a middle-Eastern country (Syria) that is actually shot in an Eastern European country (Serbia) \u2013 and singlehandedly defeating terrorism. At a time when global warming is anyway making summers unbearable, this seems like an awfully elaborate excuse for Shroff to go shirtless. In case you were wondering, Vikram has somehow become a police officer<\/a> even though the film pegs him as someone incapable of protecting himself and if that\u2019s a comment on the state of the Indian police force, that\u2019s genius level of trolling.\n\n

Baaghi<\/em> is Tiger Shroff\u2019s annual exhibition of abs, aerobics, and aerodynamics.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nIn the middle of this, there is a local baddie called IPL (Jaideep Ahlawat, also in need of an intervention) and Shraddha Kapoor <\/a>occasionally showing up just to make Shroff feel less alone about his non-existing acting skills. Then the film also introduces a suicide bomber exchange programme that targets Indian families, sanitised terrorism, and Islamophobia.\n\nYet, not content with the range of its glaring incompetence, the makers go out of their way to parade their silliness: In the film\u2019s closing credits, Vettai<\/em>, the Tamil film that Baaghi 3<\/em> is borrowed from is identified as a Telugu film. To be fair, the Baaghi<\/em> franchise, on its part, has never given anyone a semblance of a reason to expect rationale from its existence, so it\u2019s commitment to dumbfoolery comes as no surprise. But Baaghi 3<\/em> doesn\u2019t even bring in the action \u2013 the set-pieces are so stale that they look like the rejected rolls from Student of the Year 2<\/a><\/em>. If the never-ending 147 minutes of Baaghi 3<\/em> is just an elaborate ploy to make everyone realise that its \u201cDus Bahane\u201d remix<\/a> isn\u2019t the worst thing about the film, then I suppose the mission\u2019s successful.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
