Heropanti 2 could well be Baaghi 3 (or was it 4?) Is the industry not expecting any better of Tiger Shroff?

A still from the film
Heropanti 2 is the new gold standard in bad. That’s exactly how ludicrous this new Tiger Shroff movie is. Coming eight years after Shroff’s debut vehicle that launched Kriti Sanon and him, the film is a spiritual extension of the earlier edition. I paused for a minute to think of Shroff’s filmography. His movies all look and feel just about the same. So, Heropanti 2 could well be Baaghi 3 (or was it 4?). Is the industry not expecting any better of the star, or is it the same ol’ ‘why change what is working’ theory that has limited him into signing up for a lifetime of banal action flicks?
Wonder what was scribbled on paper to pass off as the script that it passed the muster. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala and writer Rajat Arora, who have previously delivered the fun outing Kick (Salman Khan-starrer), have attempted some sort of cyber crime story here. I deduced a bit of it, decoding it from the dense dialogues that were packed in to supposedly deliver as punchlines.
