Baaghi 4, starring Tiger Shroff, has had a rough journey from theaters to streaming. The film was widely criticized upon release, with audiences calling out weak storytelling and forced action sequences. Despite this, it has now arrived on Prime Video, but with a catch: viewers must pay an extra ₹349 to watch it before it becomes part of the standard Prime subscription. This decision has sparked an intense backlash online.
Many people feel frustrated that they are expected to invest in a film that was poorly received in theaters. Even those who are Prime subscribers are unhappy with the idea of paying extra for content they see as subpar. Social media is flooded with memes, jokes, and harsh reviews not just about the movie itself, but also about the platform for charging additional fees. The combination of negative reception and the paywall has amplified the criticism.
In reality, even if Baaghi 4 had been released on Prime Video without any extra cost, it is likely that it would still have faced mockery, given its critical reception. The extra charge, however, has intensified people’s reactions.
