I really used to like shahrukh khan, back in the 90's, ive liked his 4 movies so far raju ban gaya gentleman, Baazigar, Darr and anjaam. When he did the movie darr, I thought here's a new villain for bollywood, because he was great as the villain, then came baazigar and anjaam, he was like villain in baazigar as well, but he was the main star of the movie. Baazigar came out the same year when Khalnayak and gardish had came out. I thought that sanjay dutt would have got the award for best actor at that time, but due to his tada case he had lost his popularity, and the award went to shahrukh khan for baazigar, though he did one of his best performances in baazigar.
The movie starts with a small boy ajay (shahrukh) taking care of his mom (raakhe gulzar), because she is sick, she can't talk or anythi ng. Ajay has to go out everyday to work, polish peoples shoe do a little bit of every kind of work to get money and to support his mom. Ajay's family used to be rich, but one madan chopra (dalip tahil) comes to their lives and takes away all of their wealth and throw them out on the streets.
Due to this ajay's father and his little sister dies and his mom has a big saadma. She doesn't talk she cries all the time. Ajay after 15 years all grown up becomes a baazigar a gambler in order to win over priya (kajol) and eventually to bring about the ruin of her father madan chopra
Ajay begins his calculated revenge by seducing chopra's elder daughter seema (shilpa shetty) as a prank he gets seema to write a suicide note, afraid of her father seema decides to marry ajay secretly, but when they reach the marriage registrar's office, ajay coldbloodedly pushes seema off from top of the building and makes his getaway unnoticed. The note in her handwriting seems to point to suicide, but priya suspects foulplay.
meanwhile ajay who changes identity to vicky malhotra begins ingratiating himself with the father and the younger daughter priya. soon after their engagement a friend of seema's who claimed to have the proof of the killer is mysteriously discovered dead and now priya seeks help from her friend a police officer to track down her sister's killer.
The music in the movie is great by anumalik, it probably one of his best afte refugee in my opinion. The song baazigar mein baazigar and yeh kali kali aankhen are probably the most played out ones, where kitaben bahut si padi hongi tumne is a funny song. Chupana bhi nahin aata is a sad song and my favorite was samajh kar chand.
Abbas mustan earlier in their career had some great movies, neither they were copied from hollywood or anything, if you have seen humraaz, aitraaz,tarzaan and ajnaabe were all copied. I wish they would take shahrukh khan again in a movie and make him a villain.
Shahrukh as ajay and vicky does one heck of a job. This is one of his best performances od his lifetime I can't forget his evil laugh in the movie, when dalip tahil finds out that he has taken everything, his property. HIs emotional scenes are very different in the old movies, in his new movies he is doing something different. Raakhe is also does a fine job as his mother she doesn't talk till the end of the movie, but she gives a great performance. Kajol and shilpa shetty do well in their role given. Dalip tahil goes a good villainous performance as madan chopra.
johnny lever was funny as the headhouse naukar.
The best dialogues from the movie.
Udne ki baat tu parindey kartey hai madan chopra toote hue par nahin . Yaad karo woh race ka maidan,tumne tu mujhe apna chela nahin maana, lekin maine tumhe apna guru mankar, apni jeeti hui baazi tumhare naam kardi thi, race ki trophy meri manzil nahin thi, meri manzil tu yeh kursi thi.
Yaad aaya us din u yahan betha tha aur teri jagah par khadi hokar tujhse apni daulat ki bheekh mang rahi thi meri maa. yehi woh kursi hai madan chopra yahan par bethkar tumne mere baap meri behan ke mathe par maut meri maa ke zehan pe sadma aur meri hatheli par dar dar ki thokre likhdi thi. Lekin aaj maine tumhari ek ek jagah par apne baap ke naam ki mohar laga di hai aur tum chahtey hue bhi mera kuch nahin begar saktey. Aur is waqt tumhari halat us appahij ki tarah ho gayie hai jisse chalne ke liye baisakhi ki tu zarurat hai lekin usse pakadne ne ke liye haath nahin hai.
15 saal se jo khoon meri maa ki aankhon mein aanso banke behta raha aaj uski baan tune tood di hai. Aaab sailaab aayega madan chopra sailaab aayega.
Maa bete ka Bhawishey chunti hai dawayein chunti hai apne bete ke tukre nahin.
