Baaghi 4 also explores a dark psychological thriller, a territory that merges emotional trauma of a high severity, with a terrifying conspiracy. Ronnie starts his life with a tragic car crash that causes him to enter into a coma, and find himself tormented by the thought of losing a woman named Alisha, who, as it is later discovered, never existed. Much like his sorrow and delusions are indistinguishable between reality and illusion, which contributes to a disorienting effect as the viewers will be left wondering what is real at every moment. The tone of the film is somber and feral, and the mental and emotional pain of Ronnie is so horrific and scary when he tries to demonstrate the existence of his love, as the evidence of deceit keeps growing.
The twists and turns of the story used in the film are interwoven and intricate, showing the existence of a malicious system created by a strong villain, Chacko, who influences the images in the mind of Ronnie to achieve some perverted goals. Director Ahmed Khan skilfully creates the scenes of psychological suspense and brutality that are interwoven with moments of chaos and paranoia so as to intensify the feeling of chaos and paranoia. The supporting characters; and in particular, Olivia and Jeetu, are emotional anchors, but sometimes their plots are too often lost in the secrets, betrayal, and obsession of the film. The film is shot in dark, shadowy cinematography, which helps enhance the sense of mystery and psychological instability, putting the audience in the mind of Ronnie who is disoriented.
In the end, there is an overwhelming impression created by Baaghi 4 that explores the topic of obsession, love, and the precariousness of reality. The endless search of Ronnie to find truth and justice in a world controlled by something unknown is like a direct appeal to the feelings of despair, hope, and catharsis. The dramatic poignancy and lack of gracefulness in the movie give rise to a chilling emotional experience, and thus, the film is very powerful, albeit disturbing, in its existential commentary on trauma and the perennial strength of love in the midst of the commotion.
