It is undoubtedly one of the finest artwork bollywood has ever produced. Two out of the world performances by the lead pair. Brilliant Srk and extremely hot and sensuous Madhuri seeking revenge. Just wow!! The visual appeal just adds to two beautifully perfect performances and marvellous story line. I watched the movie for the first time in 2018 and I must say I'm awestruck! Wow!!
I see that there already a few reviews but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in as well.Given that the movie was done was in 1994, it's obvious to the viewer that Shah Rukh's star was on the rise. Despite the average hair cut and the negative nature of his role, he still delivers charisma and charm in the role.Despite his immense success with romantic lead roles (Dil To Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai etc) it would be great to see SRK do more negative roles. (The forthcoming Don will be a refreshing change).
Obviously this film is not even B class; to be honest, I don't think there are enough letters even in Devanagari to explain it's class.Yet, it is absolutely fantastic. A must-see for a Bollywood fan, an absolute-must-see for a SRK fan.Personally I just love SRK's roles as villains, those faces he makes... ahhh...The story in this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end (just as it says at on the back of the DVD;) ) Madhuri is stunningly beautiful even after her, how to call it..., rebirth ;) (exept one tiny scene - the arm-teeth scene i'd call it, not to write a spoiler, which is also rather surprising) There are some fine songs (the one on the airport and the one on the wheel-chair) but the most important quality of this movie is that it's so surprising all the way.Plus the obsessive love motive is always great to watch.10/10 for sure (in it's category of course)
I don't get it! Why is it that when "Bollywood" tries to offer something new, its rejected? Unless the ending is so sweet it gives you diabeties the film is quite often a FLOP! As so is the case with Anjaam.A film like this goes against the typical Bollywood conventions and teaches us new ones. Maybe?!I don't want to give a synopsis of this film, but to see Dixit in this is such a treat, even for her detractors!
