Baazigar ft. Ashish Shakya

This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' we're talking about the breakout film of Shah Rukh Khan, and also the one that set him on a trail of playing iconic negative characters: 1993's 'Baazigar' directed by Abbas-Mustan starring SRK, Kajol, Shilpa Shetty, Dalip Tahil, Johnny Lever, and Rakhee. Joining us to talk about Baazigar with Abbas and Urjita is writer, comedian and 90's cinema enthusiast Ashish Shakya. Topics discussed include: Shah Rukh Khan's turn to negative roles and how it brought him success, the filmmaking flair and dialogue-baazi of Abbas-Mustan films, Ashish sharing stories about a Shilpa Shetty birthday bash and SRk's magnetism, how Anu Malik knocked it out of the park, Johnny Lever's crazy side track, and how a 2024 Baazigar would jsut be a series of insta reels.
