Mumbai: Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 2 may have received mixed reactions from critics but moviegoers are apparently enjoying the actioner. The Ahmed Khan directorial has garnered a terrific response from the audience and is raking in the moolah at the Box Office. The film released on March 30.

According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Baaghi 2 has minted over Rs 85 crores so far. In fact, Bharat Bandh on Monday hasn't had much effect on the film's collection.

Adarsh's tweet read: "Despite bandh affecting biz in various states, #Baaghi2 puts up a SUPERB double digit total on Mon... Biz gathered momentum towards evening shows... Speeding towards ₹ 100 cr... Fri 25.10 cr, Sat 20.40 cr, Sun 27.60 cr, Mon 12.10 cr. Total: ₹ 85.20 cr. India biz (sic)."

Co-starring Disha Patani, Tiger's rumoured real-life girlfriend, Baaghi 2 is a sequel to Baaghi (2016) directed by Sabbir Khan and featuring Shraddha Kapoor as the female lead.

Tiger, who made his debut with Sabbir Khan's Heropanti in 2014, had won a million hearts as Ronnie Singh in Baaghi. He returned to the silver screen as Ronnie in the sequel to Baaghi, which had proved to be a massive success at the Box Office.

The powerhouse of talent Manoj Bajpayee, Randeep Hooda and Prateik Babbar too are a part of the new instalment.

Here’s how the makers have described the film on YouTube:

“A battle-hardened army officer goes in search of his ex-lover’s child who is mysteriously kidnapped. Neha reaches out to the only person who can help her with her plight, Ronnie. He goes deep into the underbelly of Goa, facing off against drug lords, menacing Russian henchmen, and bloodthirsty animals.”
“Daring stunts, chase sequences, air strikes, bomb blasts and other large-scale action sequences will be done with a bonafide, larger than life approach, truly making it a spectacle,” they have added.

And here's good news for Baaghi fans - the makers recently announced the third instalment of the franchise to take Ronnie’s story forward.
