Reviews
ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Gypsi Bates The less known about the plot, the better the viewing experience for this drama. Briefly, Shah Rukh Khan plays a man who is courting two sisters (played by Shilpa Shetty and Kajol) under two different personas. He has pressing reasons, which the viewer learns through well-told back story as the film progresses.This often tense film delivers an impressive surprise early on, and keeps the viewer on edge through out. Khan delivers an excellent performance, and Kajol and Shetty do well, also. The music and choreography are only average, keeping the movie from a rating of ten. Otherwise, this is an impressive, suspenseful, and emotional film (reminiscent of Hitchcock) that is well worth watching.Cast also includes: Master Sumeet, Johnny Lever, and Dalip Tahil.
Shashi I was in Class 7th when this movie got released in 1993. Even after so many years and so many movies , this remains to be my favourite SRK movie. Baazigar along with Darr(which released approximately one month after Baazigar)created a hysteria that only SRK fans could wonder. Never ever audience realized that even a villain (Antihero term would be more suitable )will take all their whistles and sympathy, such was the conviction with which Shah Rukh Khan portrayed these roles. Coming to the movie , the film was quiet a trendsetter for its time . After Baazigar, Darr & Anjaam(1994) there was a flood of movies like Daraar, Dastak, Fareb, Agnisaakshi & Yarana where heroes played the role of villains. Baazigar had an amazing story, super music and some good acting by the starcast. Kajol, Shilpa Shetty(in her debut movie), Dalip Tahil, Johnny Lever and Raakhi all did true justice to their characters.But the film belongs to Shah Rukh Khan in his breakthrough performance.You can not take your eyes off him whenever he is on the screen. I as a child, use to copy his hairstyle, his laugh and his expressions.During those times there was no internet so I used to wait for the trailer and songs of this movie on our TV sets. I can not remember how many times I have watched this movie.Such was the impact of Baazigar on me. The movie is first rate with a great repeat value. Some of the scenes which are worth-watching are the Car race, Murders committed by SRK in the movie, scene where he changes his contact lens, SRK's flashback scene in the office, Scene where he reveals his true identity to Daleep Tahil and the climax scene. Everything in this movie is perfect to the core. Till date, no actor has played the role of an antihero with such a long lasting impression.
hearthacker9988 Baazigar is a 1993 Indian Hindi film directed by Abbas-Mustan. Based on Ira Levin's 1953 novel A Kiss Before Dying.Baazigar at the time it came was a sort of trendsetter mainly for the reason it had an anti-hero in the lead role; thus breaking the conventional image a hero seemed to have.The film shocked its Indian audience with the violation of the standard Bollywood formula which was unexpected.It was one of top 5 highest grossing films of 1993.SHahRuKhan received much critical acclaim and tremendous popularity as this film shot him into prominence Some criticism is due to the way Priya is portrayed as behaving when all secrets are revealed, though that is surely a minor point.so coming to the film Khan proved to have a great screen presence as well, and was good at almost everything which a Bollywood hero should possess. Right from dancing well to excelling in histrionics and those one or two light comedy scenes, King Khan was a treat to watch. Though he went overboard more than a couple of times in the climax, it showed his energy, boiling n popping inside him and coming out with a blast whenever it required.Kajol was quite effective in her role . Though she was not looking vey gorgeous because of lack of make up and beautiful costumes.Shipla shetty gave decent perforamce on her debut and looked cute.Rakhi was good as usual.dalip tahil also did his job well.The comic portions were genuinely funny.I really enjoyed watching.Johny lever was very popular comedian at that time and one of Abbas-mustan favorites.Since Khiladi, the brothers have cast Johnny Lever in every single one of their movies except Naqaab.The music of movie was superhit of that time and as a result bagged 2 filmfare awards in music department of total of 4.Anu Malik was at his very best there.Movie's various songs rocked the chart for several weeks.At the end i will recommend it to everyone specially for srk fans.I know if u watch it today you may find it somewhat old (awkward hair cut and dressing sense,dancing,etc)but remember when it was released i.e 1993 so from that point of view it was excellent.Rest Its Success Speaks itself.A must watch.
