Plot
Raja is in love with a nightclub dancer, Rani. Rani gets Raja a job as a security guard in a hotel run by Vikram. Raja's life turns haywire when Manubhai falls for Rani and tries to get her at any cost. Rani, instead of falling prey to his lusty charms, prefers to kill herself. Raja then turns into a professional killer in Vikram's gang. Raja comes across Soorya (master Rohan), who idolizes him as his hero and even adopts his lifestyle. Soorya grows up and falls in love with Vikram's sister Kiran. Initially, Raja encourages Soorya, but when he learns that the girl is Kiran, he advises Soorya to relent, but in vain. Raja also tries to pacify Vikram, but in vain. Raja becomes a rebel with a cause, mainly to protect love. Raja tries to get Soorya and Kiran married but just after becoming husband and wife, Raja and Vikram kill each other. The movie ends with everybody crying for Raja and Vikram.

Reception
A review in Sify, gave the film a three star rating, writing "BAAGHI, directed by Rajesh Kumar Singh suffers from an identity crisis. Is it a gangster film, is it a love story, is it about a possessive brother, or is it about lost innocence? And then should it not be Vaastav, Tezaab or Lawaaris? In the end it is all and with so many elements thrown in it flattens under its own pressure."[2] Faisal Shariff of Rediff.com was critical of Tina Sen and Inder Kumar's acting.[3]
According to the Indian film trade website Box Office India, the film was made on an estimated budget of ₹57.5 million (US$690,000) and had a worldwide gross of ₹64.8 million (US$780,000).[4]
