This box office performance exposes contrasting audience preferences shaped perhaps by differing expectations or promotional strategies for these films. While the action-packed franchise appeal of Baaghi helped it secure robust initial earnings despite mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, Vivek Agnihotri’s concluding entry in his trilogy struggled to reproduce the success achieved by earlier releases such as The Kashmir Files.
