Here is the list for the best Action Films for 2017:
Tiger Zinda Hai
This Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer film about a rescue operation, led by agents from India and Pakistan, to save 25 Indian nurses abducted by terrorist forces in Iraq was power packed with full on action. Stunt director Tom Struthers not only challenged Salman with difficult stunts but also introduced Katrina to us in a new avatar of an action heroine.
Naam Shabana
Not many Bollywood films are women centric as well as let their lead actress do hard core action. But Naam Shabana proved to be an exception. Taapsee Pannu who was directed by stunt master Cyril Raffaeli was seen doing high level action in the film.
Baahubali 2
This SS Rajamouli directed fantasy-action film starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati and Anushka Shetty has set a high standard for action films in the industry. The action sequences for the film were choreographed by Peter Hein who has also worked in films like Race 2, Raavan etc.
The Ghazi Attack
This war film written and directed by Sankalp Reddy starring Rana Daggubati and Taapsee Pannu in lead roles was not a typical action movie filled with fighting scenes or stunts but a different league in action genre.
