Baaghi (transl. Rebel) is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Sabbir Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. A partial remake of the 2004 Telugu film Varsham with a climax inspired by the 2011 Indonesian film The Raid: Redemption, the film stars Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles and Sudheer Babu in his Hindi debut, with Sunil Grover in a supporting role.[2][3]

Baaghi was released worldwide on 29 April 2016 and received mixed reviews from critics. Made on a budget of 35 crore (US$4.2 million), the film earned over 129 crore (US$15 million) worldwide.[4] Later, it spawned two spiritual sequels titled Baaghi 2 (2018) and Baaghi 3 (2020), thus becoming the first installment in the Baaghi film series.
