It really seems that way, that Baazigar was WAY ahead of its time, but it WORKED!
SRK was able to muster up this massive and power packed performance at that young of an age, if only he had the courage to do this NOW!
Super hit songs + good story + good acting + emotions + well-paced thriller = success!
Actually, he was always very talented. A lot of his performances very early on were soo good. Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Baazigar, Darr are the favs from then...there's a reason why everyone from Yash Chopra to Mani Ratnam to Ashutosh Gowariker to Vidhu Vinod Chopra to Vishal Bhardwaj to Raju Hirani all wanted to work with him. He always had the talent, despite the fact that he can go overboard also.
He came in with the right idea. He wanted to act and make a name for himself and he started off very well, but then alas...trappings of stardom and pressure of delivering hits after hits messed with another talented actor...and complacency set in. I genuinely believe that given a good script and good director, SRK has it in him to surprise us like no other and teach a few folks a thing or two about acting. But sadly, he's no longer interested. 🥱
