Baaghi 2 emerges as the biggest opener of 2018

Action entertainer Baaghi 2, starring Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani in lead roles, has done the unthinkable. The movie, bankrolled by Fox Star Studios and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, pulled in a staggering INR 25.10 crore on its opening day, becoming the biggest opener of 2018. The film has surpassed the opening day collection of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's gobsmackingly epic Padmaavat, which had minted INR 24 crores.

Tiger Shroff is just five films old in Bollywood, so achieving this brilliant feat within such a short span of time is undoubtedly a great thing for the action star. If Baaghi 2 continues to perform at such pace, it may close out its first weekend at around INR 80 crore.


The first-day collection of Baaghi 2 has stunned everyone. Even superstars Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan could not stop themselves from wishing Tiger Shroff on the unprecedented success of the film. They took to their Twitter handles and wished the actor.

Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Baaghi 2 released on 30th March.

  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
