Baazigar arrived like a hurricane at the BO and shocked everyone! The unconventional script and the brilliant music made this film an instant hit.
Ajay (SRK) and Seema (Shilpa Shetty) are in love with each other. Vicky (SRK again) and Priya (Kajol) fall in love as well. Priya and Seema are sisters. Do both the sisters love twin brothers? Is he the same guy? Is it going to be one of those cheesy love triangles? The intermission (which is regarded as on of the most shocking intermission sequences in Indian cinema) should answer these questions and raise many more!
SRK went out there and did something absolutely different. With Darr ending 1993 for him, he was easily the best actor that year. Everyone was talking about the new Baazigar who knew no Darr of trying something new, regardless of the Anjaam! (Corny, I know! :) ) Kajol and Shilpa Shetty did not get as much scope as Shahrukh, but both performed super confidently and delivered memorable performances.
If Khiladi gave Abbas Mustaan their first hit, Baazigar gave them their first Superhit. The talented duo would go on to make many successful suspense thrillers.
Apart for the actors and the directors, another person benefited hugely from the success of this film. That person was music composer Anu Malik whose struggling days had finally come to an end. With earlier hits that year in Sir and Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayi, Anu Malik got his first mammoth hit (to be followed by many more years of successful music). He received his first Filmfare award and further added to ace composers Nadeem-Shravan's woes. Incidentally Nadeem-Shravan were offered this film. But since Kajol hadn't thanked them for their mediocre score in Bekhudi during the film's release, they swore to never compose for a film starring the Bengali actress. Their decision made Anu Malik their biggest competitor.
Baazigar is a good film in most respects and even 20 years ahead, it is enjoyable. Whether you know the suspense or no, watch it! If SRKs act won't entertain you, Johnny lever's evergreen comedy will have you in splits again! For first timers, this is a great watch.
