Baaghi 4 Box Office Day 3: Record Low of Rs 31 Crore Nett in Three Days

Baaghi 4, directed by A. Harsha and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, opened to a modest Rs 12 crore on its first day, buoyed by advance bookings and the franchise’s legacy. However, the momentum faltered, with Day 2 dropping to Rs 9 crore—a 25% decline attributed to Ganesh Visarjan festivities. Day 3 saw a slight recovery to Rs 10 crore, but the total three-day nett collection of Rs 31 crore marks the weakest opening weekend in the Baaghi series.

In comparison, Baaghi 3 (2020) amassed Rs 53 crore, and Baaghi 2 (2018) raked in Rs 71.1 crore over their opening weekends, despite pandemic challenges for the former. Even the original Baaghi (2016) outperformed with Rs 38.5 crore. This downward trend has left industry analysts puzzled.

Factors Behind the Record Low Performance

Several factors have contributed to Baaghi 4‘s underwhelming box office haul. The film faced stiff competition from The Conjuring: Last Rites, which grossed Rs 50.50 crore in three days, overshadowing the action thriller. Mixed reviews citing a weak script, repetitive action, and an ‘A’ rating have alienated Tiger Shroff’s younger fan base.

Additionally, promotional tactics like the ‘Buy One Get One’ offer on Day 1 and 50% discounts on Days 2 and 3 may have inflated initial figures but failed to sustain audience interest. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh noted, “The 50% off offer continues on Sunday, so the weekend numbers will remain respectable,” but this strategy couldn’t offset the lukewarm response.

Day 3 Performance: A Closer Look

On September 7, 2025, Day 3, Baaghi 4 collected Rs 10 crore nett, reflecting an 8.11% increase from Day 2’s Rs 9.25 crore. However, this growth was insufficient to match the franchise’s historical Sunday surges—Baaghi 2 earned Rs 28 crore on its third day. Hindi occupancy reached 27.08%, with evening shows at 37%, but morning shows lagged at 8.75%. The film’s total stands at Rs 31.25 crore nett, with Delhi-NCR (31.50% occupancy) leading, while Mumbai trailed at 24%.

Allegations of box office manipulation via self-bookings and discounts have also surfaced, suggesting the actual figures might be lower. This controversy has fueled debates within the industry, with filmmaker Sanjay Gupta questioning the reliance on franchise films without fresh direction.

Comparison with Competitors

The Conjuring: Last Rites dominated the weekend with Rs 15.5 crore on Day 3, pushing its total to Rs 50.50 crore. This Hollywood horror flick outpaced Baaghi 4 despite minimal promotion, highlighting a shift in audience preference. Other releases like The Bengal Files (Rs 1.75 crore) and Ghaati (Rs 2 crore) further diluted Baaghi 4‘s market share.

Future Outlook for Baaghi 4

With a budget of Rs 120 crore, Baaghi 4 needs a significant turnaround to break even. Its current trajectory suggests a challenging run, especially with word-of-mouth remaining lukewarm. The film’s fate hinges on weekday collections and potential boosts from rural markets, where mass appeal might linger.
