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." Faisal Shariff of Rediff.com was critical of Tina Sen and Inder Kumar's acting. According to the Indian film trade website Box Office India, the film was made on an estimated budget of inr 57500000 and had a worldwide gross of inr 64800000.
