Baazigar (1993) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Ajay seeks revenge because Madan Chopra destroyed his family. Years earlier, Chopra worked for Ajay's father Vishwanath Sharma but embezzled company funds. After being released from jail, Chopra pretended to reform but then tricked Sharma into signing a power of attorney, allowing Chopra to seize the entire business. This betrayal led to Sharma's death, the death of Ajay's baby sister, and the mental collapse of their mother Shobha.

Chopra first embezzled funds from Sharma's company and was jailed. After his release, he falsely repented and gained Sharma's trust. Sharma gave him power of attorney to run the business, but Chopra used it to take complete control of the company. He then abandoned the Sharma family, leaving them destitute. The financial ruin caused Sharma to die of a heart attack, their baby daughter died from lack of medical care, and their mother Shobha went mad.
