Baadshah

Baadshah (Emperor) remains the cult classic Bollywood by Abbas-Mustan duo with SRK in the lead. Even if you watch it with the modern lens, 20+ years later, it will remain the same - Khan's quirky character, the zesty genre-banding plot, original comedy, and the good-old 90s vibe that just brings back the memories. TN.

I loved watching this film. Let's face it, we've all (Nepali and Indian) watched this film before and it still is as fun as it was back in the day.

Loved Baadshah when I was a kid and loved Baadshah now. The goofy detective, SRK as the title character is just so, so good. It's funny, entertaining and investing throughout. And the songs are so damn amazing. Abhijeet in all of the songs was phenomenal. Specially, Woh Ladki Jo, it's a standout songs among other equally great songs.

And Twinkle Khanna, she's so beautiful and so charming. I'd never saw her as a Bollywood sensation but from today onwards, I'll always see her as a diva. Such a beautiful actress and her work is as beautiful as she is. She's fantastic, she has owned every scene which she is in.

The film is so funny, it's a slapstick comedy which works in every aspects. There's comedy, there's crime and there is romance. The chemistry between SRK and Twinkle Khanna is amazing. Also the supporting characters, Johnny Lever, Amrish Puri, and others were great.

It's an out and out entertaining film which is just so damn fun with it's crime comedy elements.

A brilliant rewatch.

Ever since I saw the trailers heralding the release of Shah Rukh Khan's new film, Baadshah, I was captivated. Great music from the title song, combined with a glimpse of the beautiful stranger, Twinkle Khanna.

When the film finally released, it lived up to every expectation. Feet tapping music, with hilarious scenes, and suspenseful drama, that can be compared to the mood of Bazigar. Although the film is clichéd with the appearance of a young child, the stunning Twinkle makes up for it.

Shah Rukh, as always, is on top form; his previous work has perfectly moulded him for the role Baadshah, playing both the hero and joker.

Twinkle Khanna, some have criticised her as being OK for her role, yet I disagree, she's fantastic, giving an aura of mystery and glamour in every scene.

The rest of the cast blend perfectly with the story, with the villains having evil and humorous characteristics.

It is a family film, however, towards the end as the plot thickens the children might be confused as to what is happening.

I think this film deserves 8/10, go and watch it!

Okay, let's face it, we've all seen this before. Every single scene. But Shah Rukh Khan adds such a refreshing and believable twist to the story that you'll be seeing it again for the first time. I was roaring with laughter the whole movie. No one knows what anyone else is doing in this movie, everything is a case of mistaken identity. But the humor is it's strength. I absolutely recommend, it's not intended to be taken seriously, just enjoyed. Fun songs, cute dances. Wow, I liked it! Am I biased because I'm a Shah Rukhaholic? You bet! You will find yourself singing "Baadshah" in the supermarket the next day, remembering a scene and chuckling to yourself out loud.
