Baazi

About This Movie

Baazi (1995) is an interesting entry in the action-crime genre. The film follows a relentless police officer, navigating a world rife with corruption and terrorism. It captures a gritty atmosphere, with a pacing that keeps you engaged as the protagonist battles not just the criminals, but a corrupt political system, too. The tension builds effectively, especially as the plot unfolds around the assassination plot against the chief minister. Performances are earnest, though the direction feels a bit rough around the edges at times. Practical effects add a layer of authenticity, making the action sequences stand out despite any limitations. There's something about the raw energy of the film that marks it as distinctive in the lineup of 90s Indian cinema.
