Bollywood Hits – Baazigar O Baazigar

by MW Cook

Ever watched something so awkward that you had to turn away? I love Bollywood, but the title song from Abbas-Mustan’s 1993 hit, Baazigar (Gambler), nearly broke me.

As over-the-top-ridiculous as this song is, the film itself is a serious thriller that shook Bollywood with its dark anti-hero. It was a box-office hit and Shahrukh Khan’s breakthrough role.

Go figure.
