If I had to recommend just one Shah Rukh Khan film, this will be the one. Baazigar is a story of revenge - a thriller romance. Ajay Sharma's family is betrayed by the villainous Madan Chopra. Subsequent events lead to his father and sister dying on the same night (the latter, in his arms). His mother is so traumatised she loses her mind. Ajay's anger and thirst for revenge is justified. As an adult, he plots Chopra's downfall and Chopra's two daughters are his tools. SRK is so convincing you forget he's not really Ajay. Some of the scenes make you grab your seat and go "Wow". Kajol is, as usual, a dynamic performer. Shilpa is OK. Johnny Lever must be one of the few people who can crack jokes in a serious film and not make you tear your hair out in frustration. His Babu Lal is an effective comic relief.
The songs are not too bad. If you've heard Anu Malik's previous songs, you'll realize that Baazigar has a number of rehashed tracks. Typical of Anu Malik, no? Overall, this film deserves at least an 8. I don't understand why its rating is low in here.
