| 16 | Ajay Sharma (Khan) becomes a ‘baazigar’, a |
| 17 | gambler, in order to win over Priya (Kajol) and |
| 18 | eventually to bring about the ruin of Priya’s |
| 19 | father, Madan Chopra (Tahil). Previously, |
| 20 | Chopra had similarly ruined Ajay’s father |
| 21 | Vishwanath Sharma (Mahadevan) by |
| 22 | appropriating Sharma’s industries and forcing |
| 23 | Ajay’s family onto the streets. Ajay’s revenge |
| 24 | consists of seducing Priya’s sister Seema |
| 25 | (Shetty) and pushing her from a tall building. |
| 26 | He then changes his identity and kills two more |
| 27 | people while ingratiating himself into the |
| 28 | Chopra household. In a violent ending Ajay |
| 29 | dies in his mother’s (Raakhee) arms after he |
| 30 | has killed Madan Chopra. The commercial hit |
| 31 | inaugurates Shah Rukh Khan’s much-discussed |
| 32 | playing of unusually vicious type of leading |
| 33 | men (cf. Darr, 1993). Here, the depiction of |
| 34 | his cold-blooded murder of Seema became |
| 35 | especially controversial. Among the first of the |
| 36 | several Khan-Kajol romances culminating in |
| 37 | the smash hit Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge |
| 38 | (1995), the main bulk of the film features the |
| 39 | fresh and spontaneous performances of these |
| 40 | still-new stars in song hits such as Bazigar o |
| 41 | bazigar and Yeh kali kali aankhen. |
