    Classic

    This has to be one of my personal favourite film from the 90's era. I loved the music, just everything was great, and my mum loves the film too.

    Madhuri Dixit, god i rememberer watching her when i was like 7 years old, and when i saw her i was like, she is so beautiful i wish i could be like her when grew up, anyway back to reality she looked amazing in this film, acted really well and danced beautifully.

    Sanjay Dutt is a great actor, there can never be no one like him in bollywood and their never will be, he truly is one of a kind and i love him so much as an actor, he can show true emotion like he did in Shabd, wow he amazes me in every film, Salman Khan was also brilliant in the film, all 3 of these great actor were so cute back then and look hot as ever now, overall this is a classic. please do watch it.

    Triangular fun.

    Saajan today is mostly seen as an inspiration for practically all post-1990 triangular love stories in Bollywood. This is a great masala movie featuring a little bit of everything - comedy, tragedy, love, romance, betrayal, sacrifice and a FINE MUSICAL SCORE.

    Salman, Madhuri and Sanjay Dutt(in that order) are the stars here. If u just wanna have fun and see some of Bollywood's biggest stars in one of their finest performances....Saajan is ideal for you. I just loved D'Souza's mature direction and the chemistry shared among the 3 stars. Madhuri looks awesome with either male leads and the awesome songs only get better with the picturization.

    Saajan is an evergreen classic romantic movie

    If you want to see the best triangular love story of all time in Hindi cinema then please do watch Saajan.This is a must watch movie for every person who enjoys watching meaningful romantic movies .I have watched countless triangular love stories like Raj Kapoor's Sangam,Subhash Ghai's Taal,Ramgopal Varma's Rangeela,Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Hum Dil de chuke Sanam and so on but Saajan is easily the best among all these romantic films.Saajan is meaningful Bollywood romantic cinema at it's best.The songs are very melodious.The performances by Sanjay Dutt,Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan are excellent.The story is hundred per cent original unlike other Bollywood movies of today.The background music of this movie is simply superb.Madhuri Dixit is looking stunning here.Saajan is a movie where you will fall in love with each of the characters played by Salman,Sanjay and Madhuri.You do not have to watch any other bollywood love story after you see Saajan.You are missing something as a movie fan if you have not seen Saajan from beginning till the very end scene.

    Typical Bollywood--and That's a Good Thing

    Serious poet Aman (Sanjay Dutt) and irresponsible playboy Akash (Salman Khan) have been best friends since they were children, and were raised as brothers. When both fall in love with the same girl (Madhuri Dixit), sacrifices must be made, hearts broken, and friendship tested.

    Both Dutt and Khan are excellent in their roles; the emotions they display later in the film are convincing. Dixit is a delight as always, both playful and serious. There are many musical numbers, with some lovely songs, but very little in the way of choreography. The plot, while familiar, is still engaging and moving. All in all, it's typical Bollywood--but that is a plus.

    Sweet and innocent

    Aman(Sanjay dutt) an orphan and handicap befriends akash(salman khan). Akash's parents kader khan and reema lagoo adopts amar as their son. After growing up aman starts writing poems under the pen name sagar. While visiting ooty for a company work, he meets pooja(madhuri dixit). Pooja is a huge admirer of sagar and aman falls in love with pooja. But he sacrifices his love thinking of not being a burden for her. Akash who grows up into a playboy falls in love with pooja. Knowing this aman makes akash into sagar and introduce him to pooja. Both are in love and are about to get married. But what will akash and pooja do when they come to know the truth.

    The main highlight of saajan is its innocence which today's urban romcoms in Bollywood is missing. Sanjay dutt who is famous for his macho roles was refreshing in a soft role like aman. Madhuri is beautiful and always brilliant in acting. Salman was very sweet and cute as akash despite playing the role of a Casanova. Nadeem-shravan's songs are all iconic.

    On the whole saajan is a very sweet and innocent feel good love story. Its innocence helps you ignore any flaws it has.

    • Goofs
      The song 'Mera bil bhi kitna paagal hai' was shot after the whole shooting was over. Throughout the movie Aman Verma's hair is long and straight but in this song his hair is permed with golden tint. The cinematography of this song also looks fresh compared to the rest of the movie.
