Wiki.
Baazigar (transl. Gambler) is a 1993 Indian Hindi-language romantic thriller film directed by Abbas–Mustan and produced by Venus Movies. It stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in lead roles, while Siddharth, Shilpa Shetty (in her film debut), Raakhee, Dalip Tahil, and Johnny Lever appear in supporting roles. Its soundtrack was composed by Anu Malik. The film follows a young man seeking to avenge the fall of his family by going on a murderous rampage.
The story is loosely based on Ira Levin's 1953 novel A Kiss Before Dying and its 1991 film adaptation of the same name. Baazigar proved to be Khan's breakthrough role as the sole lead (his first as an antihero), in addition to Kajol's first commercial success and Shetty's film debut.
Baazigar was released on 12 November 1993, coinciding with the festival of Diwali. Made on a budget of ₹40 million, the film was declared a blockbuster at the box office with a worldwide gross of ₹320 million, ranking as the fourth highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. Apart from emerging as a major financial success, the film has become a cult film over the years due to its suspense, story, screenplay, soundtrack and performances of the cast. It was the first collaboration between Khan and Kajol, who went on to become one of India's most iconic on-screen couples. It helped establish Khan, Kajol, Shetty and Malik in Hindi films, and the soundtrack sold over 10 million units, thus becoming the highest-selling album of the year.
At the 39th Filmfare Awards, Baazigar received 10 nominations, including Best Film, Best Supporting Actress and Best Female Debut (both for Shetty), and won 4 awards, including Best Actor (Khan) and Best Music Director (Malik).
