Movie Synopsis

Baazigar is a 1993 Indian Hindi film directed by Abbas-Mustan. Based on Ira Levin's 1953 novel A Kiss Before Dying, it is a contemporary thriller about a young man who stops at nothing to get revenge. The film shocked its Indian audience with an unexpected violation of the standard Bollywood formula: The hero murders the innocent heroine. However, this film with an ambiguous hero did well at the box office. This was Shahrukh Khan's first movie as the sole lead and also Shilpa Shetty's debut film. Khan received much critical acclaim and tremendous popularity as this film shot him into prominence. Baazigar was also Shahrukh Khan's first film in which he played a negative role followed by Darr which was released the same year and Anjaam which was released the following year.
