Pros: When I write a review, I sit on my chair and I spend some time replaying the movie through my head to organize the pros and cons list. As I do the replay now, I find that this is a rare instance in which I can not find a single instance in the movie which was enjoyable. Even as I read other websites reviews trying to spark inspiration, I still find myself disagreeing with every single pro they bring up.

Cons: The many, many negatives this movie arouses all stem from one major fact. This movie should have never been made. While Baaghi One was decent, its sequel, Baaghi 2, was poorly made. Yet, this movie fell prey to a common movie industry disease known as the Box Office Greed. Since the first two movies did extremely well in the box office, it was only a matter of time before producers and studios decided to make a third one. In this 2hr 26min film, a lot of problems came up. Some of the biggest ones came in the acting. Every single actor and actress in this film did egregiously. What makes this point even worse is the fact that the leads in this film generally act very well. Tiger Shroff's last movie, War, was arguably the best acting of his career. Yet it seems as though both actors thought that they could get away with horrendous acting. Adding fuel to this growing fire is the fact that the script isn't much better. This mixture made every dramatic scene in the film seem like a comedic scene. I couldn't help but let out a couple of chuckles while watching this supposed action-thriller movie. Where there weren't poorly made dramatic scenes, there were even poorer made action sequences. Tiger Shroff is an extremely talented fighter and gymnast, able to beat professional MMA fighters. With this arsenal at his disposal, it seems as though the director decided to throw all of this out of the window. Instead, every action sequence in this movie relyed on the audience having the IQ of a three-year-old. Logic, physics, and common sense stopped at Baaghi 3. The result is a man able to escape numerous tanks, helicopters, missiles, and can apparently fly. An example of this ridiculousness is a scene in which Tiger Shroff is running away from missile shooting helicopters and after getting thrown forward by a missile explosion, he somehow ends up hanging off the side of the helicopter which was behind him. With flaws in every action scene in a movie composed of mostly action sequences, there were bound to be an abundance of plot holes. The story seemed to forget key points in the film and tried to be smart by doing a "plot twist" which ended up not even making sense taking away from the intelligence of the plot twist which turned it into a ball of stupidity.

Star Rating: 1/10

Final Thoughts: With 0 acting, action sequences worthy of making people lose brain cells, and a mess disguised as a plot, Baaghi 3 can be more useful as toilet paper than a movie.
