A small time detective is mistaken as a CBI agent and gets embroiled in a deadly mission to save the Chief Minister from an assassination attempt.
Acting
SRK's comic timing is criminally underrated here.
Practical Effects
Pre-CGI Bollywood action: real explosions, real chaos.
Score
Anu Malik's soundtrack still slaps unapologetically.

Director
Abbas Alibhai Burmawalla
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Burmawalla brothers shot SRK's entrance 17 times because he kept cracking up at his own reflection in sunglasses.
Baadshah's 'detective' persona directly parodies 90s Bollywood's obsession with Western spy tropes, making it both homage and satire.
