I just discovered that the rights holders have this one up on youtube for free, with somewhat wonky English subtitles:
Baazigar is a cheerfully schlocky remake of "A Kiss Before Dying", dolled up with a side order of angry-young-man masala to make the psychopath played by SRK more sympathetic. The painfully shrill performances of Kajol and Shilpa (who surprisingly has more chemistry with SRK than Kajol does, IMO, in this first SRKajol pairing) only make it easier to root for the psychopath who kills one of them and manipulates the other. I don't know if it's essential viewing, but I enjoyed it when I saw it years ago, and a lot of SRK fans seem to like it. And, hey, it's free.
