Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
mad_crack_scientist 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....
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.
santoshini908 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.
Chrysanthepop 'Baazigar' is probably the first commercial Hindi film that centres around the anti-hero. It 'loosely' rips off 'A Kiss Before Dying'. It's not a scene by scene copy and the director duo did smartly Indianize it (unfortunately a lot of it is too Bollywood e.g. the 'dishum dishum' fight sequences). To an extent, as a film, it is better than 'A Kiss Before Dying' as the twists are changed to appeal to the Indian audience. The songs are pleasant but some of the tunes are ripped off too. The whole comedy track featuring Johnny Lever and co deserve to be fast-forwarded. What mainly makes 'Baazigar' more watchable than it's 'original' source is its performances. The film belongs to Shahrukh Khan who does his first anti-hero act and blows the audience away with a strong balanced performance of a multi-layered character. Kajol is lovably hyper in the beginning but she shows her character's gradual maturity with grace. Shilpa Shetty gives a stunning debut act. Rakhee plays the typical distressed mother again. Johnny Lever is irritating as always. The rest of the cast do not impress much either. Technically the film could have used a lot of improvement but one should keep in mind that this is a film of the early 1990s. The end sequence is a disappointment and it sadly brings the film down by a notch but on the whole, 'Baazigar' is enjoyable to watch. In spite of the plentiful plot holes, there are some fine moments like the scenes where Ajay manipulates Seema, Priya discovering the truth about her sister, Priya confronting Ajay...Even though one knows what happens in the end, there's something about the film that makes you sit through it.
