The film has also beaten Salman Khan’s ‘Kick’ and Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Bang Bang’, to take the 14th spot in the top 15 highest opening days of all time.

Baaghi 2 emerged victorious on the box office despite being poorly received by film critics. Saibal Chatterjee in his review said: “Baaghi 2 is more a two-and-a-half-hour stunt show than a genuine piece of cinema.” He gave the film two stars out of five. Film critic Raja Sen rated the film 1-star and wrote: “It is a long, painful film capable of giving audiences post-traumatic stress disorder.”
Baaghi 2 is a remake of Telugu film Kshanam. The Ahmed Khan-directed film also stars Disha Patani, Manoj Bajpayee, Randeep Hooda and Deepak Dobriyal. Before the release of Baaghi 2, the producers had announced a third film with the same director and lead actor.
