Im usually not a fan of Srk's typical Raj and Rahul roles, I liked Srk when he did different roles, BAADSHAH too sees him play sort of a cartoon detective. The film is directed by ABBAS MUSTAN who gave him Baazigar This film is a remake of NICK OF TIME also having scenes lifted from RUSH HOUR. The film is too cheesy and corny at many places, but entertaining at times The film starts well with the entire gambling scene and some funny scenes, but the entire Main to Hoon Paagal song is stupid and unwarranted. There is some stupidity too in the film yet some scenes make you laugh. However things get better when Srk gets confused to be a CBI agent and the entire chaos that happens, In between again there are some stupid scenes and the end which is good though is lifted from RUSH HOUR
Direction by AM is decent nowhere near their good films Music is good, Abhijeet sings all songs for SRK and the songs are good
Srk fits well in the role though he does ham too often yet he is good Twinkle Khanna is decent, Deepshikha is okay, Sharat Saxena is as usual Amrish Puri is funny in his role though irritates at times Johny Lever is good fun here, Saurabh Shukla, Razzak Khan annoy, Avtar Gill is okay, Sachin Khedekhar is good, Raakhee is quite good, thankfully not playing her stereotypical maa roles, rest are okay

Nick of Time Meets Rush Hour
Still a Cult Classic / 8 Stars
Baadshah (Emperor) remains the cult classic Bollywood by Abbas-Mustan duo with SRK in the lead. Even if you watch it with the modern lens, 20+ years later, it will remain the same - Khan's quirky character, the zesty genre-banding plot, original comedy, and the good-old 90s vibe that just brings back the memories. TN.
A Fantastic Film.
I love watching this movie because it's just so funny. Sharukh Khan was fantastic in the film and so was Jhonny Lever.My favourite part in the film is when Sharukh Khan lies to Twinkle Khanna about being blind and Sharukh Khan and Jhonny Lever and they partners pretend that Sharukh Khans house is the hospital.I also enjoyed the fighting parts because it was well put together. Sharukh Khan was good at playing the Baadshah and the comedian. Sharukh Khan and Twinkle Khanna were good working together.Shahrukh Khan is a detective and while he is doing his detective work he falls in love with Twinkle Khanna. Amrish Puri was a good villain in this film as he is in nearly all of his villain movies.
