Baazigar review : A huge gamble for then rising star Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) who dared to play the titular anti-hero role rejected by his peers Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar; Baazigar became an instant box office hit and catapulted SRK in to the top league. Anu Malik's melodious score and Abbas -Mustan's slick direction deserve due credit but Baazigar was all about SRK and the fantastic way in which he portrayed the dual characters - one a scheming lover who bumps off Shilpa Shetty in an iconic scene and second, her sister Kajol's supposedly sympathetic boyfriend. The twist in the tale comes from a missing contact lens which makes for an exhilarating scene where SRK frantically searches for it in the wash basin to avoid being caught!!! Another fave scene of mine is where he sits on the CEO chair with legs on the table after being newly appointed to lead the business conglomerate of his enemy Dalip Tahil and SRK's expressions in it are just fantastic!! Despite playing the anti-hero, the audience sympathy goes with SRK once we get to know his tragic backstory with Rakhee playing his maa much before Karan Arjun (1995). Baazigar not just established SRK but also started his much loved pairing with Kajol - they spell magic together in the 'Baazigar o baazigar' and 'Yeh kaali kaali aankhen' song which became chartbusters. Released in Diwali 1993 at Dreamland Cinema, Mumbai, the film became a silver jubilee hit and paved the way for Yash Chopra's Darr (1993) another hit with SRK as the villain. Both, Baazigar and Darr, are one of SRK's finest performances and a befitting reward for taking such a huge risk at the beginning of his career. Real life Baazigar, indeed!! Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni

A shameless copy of the hollywood flick A Kiss Before Dying... I am baffled as to how this movie was even allowed to run in the theaters!!! The Movie is not only drab, boring, and depends on cheap humor, the acting of all the actors involved is bad to say the least!!! No one should waste their time watching this mindless movie....

Baazigar is really a best thriller of 90's. Shahrukh khan made this movie as a remarkable thriller of 90's.When 90's didn't have much thrillers Baazigar made a good job in India and also in United States. Shahrukh khan's Performance received critical appreciation all over the world.Shahrukh Khan acted in this movie when was not a top hero.Baazigar was the only thriller of 90's which was repeatedly watched by all the Audiences.Even Shahrukh Khan made thrillers like Darr and Ram Jaane in 90's Baazigar was considered as the best thriller of Shahrukh Khan in the 90's.Audiences were thrilled to see the cleverly murders taking place in this movie.If anybody wants to watch a thriller Of Shahrukh Khan Please watch this movie.I would proudly say that Shahrukh Khan was the only man to give best thriller like this in 90's.

If you are accustomed to seeing Shah Rukh Khan as a happy, puckish, often pesky but cute-as-a-bug's-ear lover who dances half the movie away, you are in for a shock, as it becomes quickly evident in this early effort he was trying his acting chops as a less than savory boyfriend--he has a reason for villainous actions, but nevertheless it's a change that takes getting used to; during the first half of the three hour film there is some low-comedy that stretches your patience thinly, and the musical numbers show their age and low-budget in comparison with what's available today; this is a decently plotted film with a grim finale, mainly for fans of early Khan and Kajol, who both do their best, but the film seems dated and lacks the chemistry both were to show later on.

I must say I'm quite impressed to see that many people actually liked the movie. Come on !! Probably on of the worst bollywood ever. Blurry image, lousy dialogs, old fashioned costumes and abusive rolls of thunder is what Baazigar is really about. The acting is really bad especially all the parts with Johnny Lever who's over acting in all his scenes (just put that on a difference of sense of humour if it makes anyone feel better). As to Shah Rukh Khan how did that movie ever make him a star. He has a terrible hair cut and he's over doing it. After a long-led meditation I'm giving it a 2/10 instead of 1 since watching the movie did really give me the opportunity to have a good laugh now and then. But honestly there's a very thin line between 1 and 2. Fortunately, Bollywood being the world's biggest film industry most people will never even come across Baazigar and enjoy other more worthy movies. As to the others they'll just have to overcome their giggles and try to forget they even saw this !! By the way if anyone's looking for the DVD I don't think I'm very attached to mine !!!

This film is a rather indigestible mixture of violence, romance, slapstick and drama. The final showdown is an exercise in bad taste. The directors are not picky at all in their use of film techniques. Whatever comes handy is used, whether it stylistically fits or not: negative footage, freeze frame, looping... In the hands of a master these techniques are powerful. Here they become an annoying travesty. Only redeeming feature: Kajol. There are good commercial films made in India. This is not one of them.

First off Bollywood produces a lot of CRAP. There are only 2 movies I would ever recommend to someone who hasn't grown up with Bollywood movies - or seen lots of them. Sholay and Baazigar. This film launched Shah Rukh Khans career and with a string of other good films at the time made him into the superstar that he is today (notably 'Darr' which was released at a similar time) This is without a doubt my favourite Bollywood film - it's so different than all the other stuff that comes out - for a start the storyline is quite complex and isn't totally based on a love story (well it is - but its more about revenge). I am a huge Hollywood movie fan and compared to the other stuff Bollywood produces this is the best thing you'll find. Lagaan is also amazing but it isn't really Bollywood IMO. I don't like explaining what happens in a movie in a review (spoils it) but this is a definite must see. Shah Rukh Khan is brilliant- the songs are also good and it has a decent storyline and is the closest you'll probably see an indian movie to Hollywood (other than 'Kaante' which was made in the USA) Definatley a must see - I dont understand why it has such a low rating - most people who watch Bollywood films are only in it for the songs and love story anyway. Unfortunatley there hasn't been a film out of Bollywood since that could even rival this (and this is MUCH better than the film its a remake of - check Movie connections of IMDB)

Baazigar is a wonderful suspense thriller made by Abbas Mastan, but the real reason it is well-known today is quite clear, and it's called Shahrukh Khan. Disregarding its unoriginality, the film is extremely entertaining and interesting, more towards the second half. In the first half, the point is a bit unclear and the film does not flow well, but the film takes a major plot twist after an hour or so when we get to see a rather shocking scene, which is completely unexpected and is the film's most drastic turn. Following this scene, it starts getting increasingly thrilling with inflaming and unusual proceedings and great suspense. I appreciated the film for its good script and for its loyalty to the general Hindi film style despite a very distinct and innovative formula, but I would still delete several comic scenes which are unnecessary and at times even pathetic. The film quite clearly belongs to Shahrukh Khan who skillfully displays something very disturbing within his personality. It is a very balanced performance, and Khan successfully portrays the many sides of his character, whether it's the simple guy whose pain motivates him to take revenge, the romantic hero, or the psychopathic murderer. Kajol is splendid in a performance that is both natural and intense. She comes across as a very brave and smart girl. Shilpa Shetty gives a brilliant debut performance (and she is hot!). Raakhee is typecast as the suffering mother who loses her mental sanity, and she does it well. Johnny Lever is at times hilarious and at times unbearable, Dalip Tahil does not impress much, and Siddharth is adequate but he too is a bit annoying in some scenes. Anu Malik's soundtrack is very good: "Baazigar O Baazigar" is lovely, "Kitaben Bahut Si" is wonderful, "Ae Mere Humsafar" is melodious and "Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen" is too cool. Overall, Baazigar is an extremely enjoyable flick. While the first half is a bit boring, involving all the possible Bollywood masala, including action, romance and silly jokes, the second half enjoys a fantastic development of story, involving the most unconventional moves a Hindi film could have at that time. Towards the end the film gets to be even more intriguing. A very sad flashback is followed by an unpredictable ending which is heart-breaking yet satisfying. The final verdict is therefore highly positive. I recommend.

I grew up watching many a Shah Rukh Khan film and after watching this I am an even greater fan of his acting. This films proves how versatile of an actor he is. I won't reveal much of the plot but if you've seen A Kiss Before Dying starring Matt Dillon you'll somewhat get the picture. At one moment, you experience the fun, lovable, and illuminating essence that SRK is known for. At another moment, you see SRK as an evil, obsessive, and enraged force to be reckoned with. If you want to experience a film which has both styles of SRK then watch this. It's not a perfect Bollywood film. There are a few flaws with the special effects and it gets gory towards the end but you will enjoy yourself and you will be asking yourself, "How does SRK pull this off?"

What can i say about his movie apart from what i mentioned above, can i add awesome. This is the best movie directed by the duo Abbas Mustan who have made great thrillers like Khiladi and Race. I first saw Shah Rukh Khan act in Deewana but didn't care too much. I next saw Shah Rukh Khan in Raju ban gaya gentlemen and once again didn't care too much. I then saw baazigar and boy did this film impress me or what. This is the movie that made Shah Rukh Khan a instant superstar, in my opinion gave a dynamic powerhouse performance. He deserved the Best actor Filmfare award for this as it was a tough nominations list that year. Kajol delivers a great performance as well as Shilpa Shetty. This is borrowed from Hollywood movie Kiss before dying, but let me tell you Baazigar makes Kiss before Dying look like garbage. If you are a Shah Rukh Khan fan and you have not seen his best film,the go watch it now.
