Baaghi 4, featuring Tiger Shroff and Sanjay Dutt, was released on Friday and has emerged as a leading contender at the box office. The film, an action thriller starring Shroff, competes against Vivek Agnihotri’s political drama, The Bengal Files, which is centered around the 1946 Calcutta Killings and the Noakhali Riots. On its second day, Baaghi 4 earned ₹9 crore, bringing its total to ₹21 crore. In contrast, The Bengal Files opened with ₹2.04 crore and has accumulated ₹4 crore to date. Forecasting the future performance of both films has become increasingly challenging. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh noted in an interview that The Bengal Files is not performing poorly, having earned ₹4 crore, which is above average.
The film’s subject matter may attract a specific audience, which could influence its success in the coming weeks. Baaghi 4 continues to perform well, and expectations for a strong weekend are high, with hopes of reaching the ₹100-crore milestone. Directed by A Harsha, Baaghi 4 has received an ‘A’ rating from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) due to its use of coarse language. The cast includes Tiger Shroff, Sonam Bajwa, Harnaaz Sandhu, and Sanjay Dutt as the lead antagonist.
