Mumbai, Nov 12 : Actress Kajol is celebrating 32 years of her film â??Baazigarâ??. On Wednesday, the actress took to her Instagram, and shared two throwback images from the film.

She wrote in the caption, â??32 years of #Baazigar, a story, a chapter, a journey Iâ??ll always cherishâ??.

â??Baazigarâ??, helmed by Abbasâ??Mustan, also starred Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and marked the debut of actress Shilpa Shetty. The film is a loose adaptation of the 1991 Hollywood film â??A Kiss Before Dyingâ??. It follows the story of Ajay Sharma (played by Shah Rukh Khan), who seeks revenge on a wealthy businessman, Madan Chopra, for ruining his father. Ajay deceives Chopraâ??s daughters, Seema (played by Shilpa Shetty) and Priya (played by Kajol), leading to a series of murders and revelations.

â??Baazigarâ?? was notable for portraying the lead actor as an anti-hero, a major shift in Hindi cinema at the time, and played a key role in establishing Shah Rukh Khanâ??s stardom. The filmâ??s music was composed by Anu Malik, and included songs like the title track and â??Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhenâ??, which became chartbusters. It won Filmfare Awards for Best Actor (Shah Rukh Khan) and Best Screenplay. The filmâ??s mix of suspense, romance, and moral ambiguity influenced later Bollywood thrillers.

The film was a commercial success and is often cited as one of the defining Hindi films of the early 1990s, marking a turning point in both Shah Rukh Khanâ??s career and the thriller genre in India.

The film also marked the start of a long and successful collaboration between SRK and Kajol as the on-screen pair. Their on-screen chemistry in the movie was widely noticed, helping establish them as one of Bollywoodâ??s most popular pairs. They went on to star in several major hits such as â??Karan Arjunâ??, â??Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayengeâ??, â??Kuch Kuch Hota Haiâ??, â??Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghamâ??, â??My Name Is Khanâ?? and â??Dilwaleâ??.
