Tiger Shroff is back with a bang! His latest action-packed film Baaghi 4 is roaring at the box office, leaving Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files far behind. Released on September 5, 2025, the fourth installment of the Baaghi franchise has already set cash registers ringing despite facing mixed reviews.
Directed by A Harsha and backed by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film stars Tiger Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Sonam Bajwa, and Harnaaz Sandhu. While Baaghi 4 has opened strong, it’s still chasing the benchmark set by Baaghi 3.
Baaghi 4 Box Office: Off to a Strong Start
As per Sacnilk, Baaghi 4 earned ₹31.25 crore net and ₹37.25 crore gross in India in its first three days. Adding another ₹5.25 crore from overseas markets, the movie’s worldwide total reached ₹42.50 crore over the opening weekend.
On Monday, the film collected ₹4.25 crore, pushing its India total to ₹35.50 crore in just four days. Fans can’t stop raving about Tiger Shroff’s fierce performance as Ronnie and the high-octane stunts that have always been the franchise’s USP.

Can Baaghi 4 Beat Its Predecessors?
Though impressive, Baaghi 4 is still behind Baaghi 3, which raked in ₹53.83 crore net and ₹64 crore gross in India during its opening weekend back in 2020. That film’s worldwide weekend total touched ₹81 crore, and it eventually grossed ₹137 crore globally.

So, Baaghi 4 has its work cut out if it wants to join the big league.
The Bengal Files: Struggling to Stay Afloat
Meanwhile, Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files, which hit theatres the same day, has failed to connect with audiences. The film, based on the 1946 Calcutta Killings and Noakhali Riots, has been struggling to cross even double-digit collections.

The Baaghi Franchise Legacy
Produced under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the Baaghi franchise has always stood out for its breathtaking action.
- Baaghi (2016) was inspired by the Telugu hit Varsham.
- Baaghi 2 (2018) took cues from Kshanam.
- Baaghi 3 (2020) was based on the Tamil film Vettai.
- Baaghi 4, directed by A Harsha, borrows from the Tamil thriller Ainthu Ainthu.
This time, Ronnie’s story is darker and more emotional, as he struggles with haunting memories of a woman that others insist never existed.
Verdict: Baaghi 4 Leads, The Bengal Files Trails
When it comes to the box office battle, there’s a clear winner. Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4 is ruling the screens with its mass-appeal action, while Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files is falling behind.
All eyes are now on whether Baaghi 4 can maintain momentum in the coming weeks and close in on the massive success of its predecessors.
