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)
