In the 80s when Hindi cinema was rehashing the same old stories,some few filmmakers made Parallel films which had brilliant and many times hardly told stories. It had brilliant actors like Naseeruddin Shah,Smita Patil.etc Bazaar has a story of bribe buying which was prevalent in 80s. The film shocks you and moves you throughout. It has several brilliant scenes and till the end moves on one track though being slow paced at times which is excused
Direction is superb Music is good, with some melidious songs
Naseeruddin Shah is brilliant as always,this actor always excelled in such cinema. Smita Patil too is flawless, In the same year she did commercial cinema with films like Namak Halaal and Shakti Farooque Sheikh is amazing, Bharat Kapoor is good Supriya Pathak is brilliant, she won best supporting actress award sadly the only win for this film.
