When Tiger Shroff was born, he didn't cry, he actually flied. Why is this not a running joke yet? He made his debut in 2014 and eight years later, he has a solid fan base that buys a ticket only to see him beat the bad guys to pulp.
He gears up for Heropanti 2 that promises to take his action a step ahead. But before he takes his action a step ahead, we go a little back in time to witness what he did, before we witness what he's going to do next.
A not so damsel in distress is trapped inside a building on the top floor. Obviously the man she loves ain't taking no elevator. He climbs the stairs to face an army of villains all prepped up to spoil his plans. For him, there's no plan. All he has to rely on is his agility and alarming action skills. Of course, he succeeds, not forgetting to take off his shirt before eliminating the final bad guy. A little The Karate Kid here, a little The Raid there, and we have a perfect combo of action and thrill, at least for fans.

The makers insisted to have a plot before going all blazing with the leading man's skills. This time, he was in all Contra mode. Firing bullets unscathed and crashing a helicopter into a jungle. The sequel was in video game mode, in all the good ways, but again for the fans.
What to do next, how to push the envelope? Hmm, how about making one man fight an entire country? And how about keeping the country Syria? Before you can even think, the man has already begun eliminating one terrorist after another, standing with both sweat and swagger on top of a crashed helicopter, doing a perfect split beneath a tank, and what not. He can go till all the lengths to entertain, and box office follows, almost.
You're prepared and yet, not. He enters the frame crashing the window pane and we don't even get to see the face properly. It's a one cut action scene with as more swiftness than you would expect. The slow motion begins once the action is over and not before. It's an impressively silent moment that proves always save the best for the last.
