Saajan

Synopsis: Aman (Sanjay Dutt) is a poor, handicapped orphan who is befriended by wealthy Akash Verma (Salman Khan) during his childhood. Akash's parents adopt him and give him their family name, and Akash and Aman grow up as brothers. While Akash is a womanizer, Aman takes to writing poems under the pen name Sagar. The poems get published, and Aman becomes very popular. One of his fans is a young woman by the name of Pooja Saxena (Madhuri Dixit), who corresponds with Sagar. Akash meets Pooja and falls head over heels in love with her. When Aman comes to know this, he asks Akash to pose as Sagar, which he does, and Pooja and Akash fall in love with each other. A heartbroken Aman looks on, as he knows that although women may like his poetry, they will never come out openly and love him when they see his handicap. At the end, Akash discovers that Aman is actually Sagar and loves Pooja, so he decides to sacrifice his love for Aman.

Man has to face many storms in life.

But this orphan has

to face another storm.

And that is his

helplessness, his weakness.

And sense of loneliness.

What are you doing here by yourself?

Somebody definitely comes

to meet or take home all the kids.

But nobody comes to meet me

or to take me home.

Don't l have anyone in this world?

Yes, my son. Those who have nobody...

He belongs to them.

- Pass the ball.

- He's lame. He can't.

You cripple! Can't you hear?

Pass the ball!

Not only deaf is he lame,

he's also deaf!

- He won't understand like this.

- Then how will he?

Now let us see you walk.

l'll show you! Calling him lame?

Thank you pal. You helped me

a lot. What's your name?

Akash Verma. And yours?

From today Akash and

Aman are friends.

See what l have for you.

This looks imported.

Must be expensive.

That's not your concern. You eat it.

- What's in your hand?

- A 10 paise sweet.

- Give it to me. l like it.

- What are you doing?

That was for me, l ate it.

This is for you so you eat it.

Let go! What are you doing?

You're always up to something!

What if somebody sees you?

So what? l'll ask them for permission

Mister Viewer, can l romance my wife?

l've got used to asking for permission

First ask you if l could romance

you then your parents to marry you.

Then the priest to get us married.

A year later take permission from

our son, put him in the cradle...

And ask can l go to her?

When we first met, it felt

as if you didn't have a tongue!

l still don't.

- Now it's 100 parrots on one side

and you on the other! - Parrots?

Who will believe that you are Rajiv

Verma, the owner of Verma Estates?

The father of a 12 year old boy.

That reminds me where is our son?

Gone to meet his friend.

Since he found this new friend

he has forgotten his old pal.

Dad this is my best friend Aman.

Where do you live son?

What do your parents do?

l have nobody.

l live with Father D'mello.

No Dad, he's lying!

In this world l am his!

lf you love him so do we!

Never say that you have nobody.

Didn't you bring Aman?

- He refused to come.

- Refused?

Where are you going?

Let him go.

What we adults couldn't do,

Akash's love will do.

- Will you come or not?

- l will.

- What's going on?

- l'm looking for a coin l lost.

- Acting smart with me?

- Honest. But what are you doing?

He's asking me! l'm looking

for a 50 paise coin l dropped.

What is going on?

He lost 25 paise and l lost 50.

We were looking for them.

Come out. l'll find the coins.

- Let go my ear.

- First get up.

Someday he'll get me thrashed!

The kid is bad enough but

the Dad takes the cake!

By god! l'm terrible.

l'm getting fired thanks to you!

No, l got fired because of you!

Did you alone win all

these cups and shields?

What's terrific about it?

It's thanks to your blessings.

He is always terrific but ask

your useless son what he has brought.

What did l say? l knew

Mummy would ask this question.

But l haven't come empty-handed.

lf Aman has brought a cup,

l have brought a plate.

- Now answer me!

- See how cheeky you son is!

Aman has brought a cup and he a plate!

Tell her l'm 24 years old!

Forgive him this time. Next time

he does something, beat him not me.

Here's the plate.

Please get some tea.

- You'll never change.

- You'll get me thrashed!

- You've spoilt him thoroughly!

- Daddy, your dialogue.

Does love spoil anyone?

l love you too. Are you spoilt?

The kids are watching. Have shame!

The loyal and eflicient workers

of Verma Constructions.

Today l introduce you to my sons.

This is Aman.

- And this is...

- l am Akash,

- Okay carry on.

- What's left to say?

l forgot what l had to say.

You have encourage me so far.

To strengthen our foundation.

After today...

Help these boys in the same manner.

This is the oflice of

Varma Constructions.

- How is it?

- Very nice but what will l do here?

Here's a telephone.

You have fingers.

There are girls in town.

Call them up and have fun.

Can l really?

What are you doing?

l had heard about angels.

Never seen them but today l can say

confidently they're just like you.

What have we done?

The honor you've given me

by giving me your name...

That's a debt that l can never repay.

You call our love a debt?

Why do you talk of debt,

Ioan, obligations?

l've never considered you

any different from Akash.

Of course. You think he's

intelligent while l'm a fool!

And that's right. No.

We have to attend a party.

But you won't go anywhere.

- Where are you going?

- To meet these.

- What's this?

- List of girls.

Rita at 12, Sita at 2.

Meeta at 4, and somebody at 6.

And when l return home at 8,

my Dad gives me a spanking!

Your list is driving me mad.

Okay, should l move?

- Today is the first day of oflice.

- That is true.

- Okay, should l move?

- If Dad calls?

Then l'll be in trouble.

Okay, should l move?

What if you're needed in the oflice?

Okay, should l move?

- Please go ahead.

- Okay, l'm off.

The heart is at peace

by a glimpse of you.

The enemy of my peace is back!

What is it?

Come on.

Finally found time?

l had so many business appointments

since morning that l'm tired.

Only now l've found time

for Menaka darling.

Let's go out. We'll freak out.

No, l'm exhausted.

l'm feeling sleepy.

Go to bed. This isn't your cup of tea!

That's a funny friend you have.

Why didn't he come with us?
