Bollywood's 'Baaghi' Saga: 10 Films, Only 3 Hits, How a Title Made Superstars

• The title 'Baaghi' has been used for 10 Bollywood films, but only 3 achieved box office success.
• Salman Khan's 1990 film 'Baaghi: A Rebel for Love' was a blockbuster, establishing him as an action-romantic hero after 'Maine Pyar Kiya'.
• Early 'Baaghi' films (1939, 1953, 1964) and later versions starring Sanjay Dutt (2000) and Om Puri (2005) were box office failures.
• Tiger Shroff revived the title with 'Baaghi' (2016) and 'Baaghi 2' (2018) becoming hits, cementing his status as an action star.
• 'Baaghi 3' (2020) and 'Baaghi 3' (2025) underperformed due to factors like COVID-19 and weak scripts, despite high expectations.

Why It Matters: The 'Baaghi' title has been a mixed bag, launching careers for Salman Khan and Tiger Shroff while failing others.
