Anjaam was a romantic psychological thriller directed by Rahul Rawail. Released on April 22, 1994, the film completed 30 years today. It was his third consecutive thriller after Baazigar and Darr. It starred Madhuri Dixit as the female lead, a woman facing the brunt of her obsessive lover.

Shah Rukh Khan accused of glorification of torture

SRK portrayed a psychotic lover for the third time, and the audience did not like it. Accused of “glorification of torture,” Shah Rukh Khan told on Aap Ki Adaalat, “In my films, I have used the love angle to defend killing people. But in the climax, we never show that my character gets any sympathy. You can call it glorification when he doesn’t face the repercussions of his actions. But if you watch the climax of all three films (Baazigar, Darr, Anjaam), I am beaten up so badly in all of them.”
