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.

A review inSify, 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 beVaastav,Tezaab orLawaaris? In the end it is all and with so many elements thrown in it flattens under its own pressure."[3] Faisal Shariff ofRediff.com was critical of Tina Sen and Inder Kumar's acting.[4]
According to the Indian film trade websiteBox Office India, the film was made on an estimated budget of₹57.5 million (US$680,000) and had a worldwide gross of₹64.8 million (US$770,000).[5]
