    Still a Cult Classic / 8 Stars

    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.

    A Fantastic Film.

    I love watching this movie because it's just so funny. Sharukh Khan was fantastic in the film and so was Jhonny Lever.My favourite part in the film is when Sharukh Khan lies to Twinkle Khanna about being blind and Sharukh Khan and Jhonny Lever and they partners pretend that Sharukh Khans house is the hospital.I also enjoyed the fighting parts because it was well put together. Sharukh Khan was good at playing the Baadshah and the comedian. Sharukh Khan and Twinkle Khanna were good working together.Shahrukh Khan is a detective and while he is doing his detective work he falls in love with Twinkle Khanna. Amrish Puri was a good villain in this film as he is in nearly all of his villain movies.

    Best Film of Summer 1999

    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!
