The year 1993 was a transformative period in Indian history. The country was reeling from the aftermath of the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, which led to widespread communal riots and violence. The economic liberalization policies introduced by the government in 1991 were beginning to take shape, leading to a gradual shift from a socialist to a more market-driven economy. This period also saw the rise of Hindu nationalism and a growing concern for India's cultural identity.
Before 1993, Bollywood heroes were generally virtuous. They might be angry (like Amitabh Bachchan in the 70s), but they were rarely cold-blooded. Baazigar shattered that mold. Ajay Sharma (Shah Rukh Khan) threw a woman off a roof in the opening act. The audience was shocked, yet riveted.
