Saajan
Saajan (lit. 'Beloved') is a 1991 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Lawrence D'Souza and produced by Sudhakar Bokade. Loosely based on the classic French play Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), it stars Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, and Salman Khan in lead roles, with Kader Khan, Reema Lagoo and Laxmikant Berde in supporting roles. Nadeem–Shravan composed the film's music whereas Sameer wrote the lyrics of the songs.
Saajan was released on 30 August 1991, and grossed ₹18.35 crore worldwide, thus becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of 1991. It received positive reviews from critics upon release, with praise for its soundtrack and performances of the cast. It was unofficially remade in Telugu as Allari Priyudu.
At the 37th Filmfare Awards, Saajan received a leading 11 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (D'Souza), Best Actor (Dutt) and Best Actress (Dixit), and won 2 awards – Best Music Director (Nadeem–Shravan) and Best Male Playback Singer (Kumar Sanu for "Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai").
Aakash meets Aman, a boy with a disability, and they become best friends. Aakash's father, Rajiv Verma, a wealthy businessman, adopts Aman. Rajiv's wife, Kamla, and Aakash also accept Aman as their son and elder brother, respectively.
Grown-up, Aakash and Aman bond well but are still at loggerheads. Carefree, flexible, and gregarious, Aakash is a social worker. More seriously, Aman writes shayaris and poems, using the pseudonym Saagar, due to which his fan following increases and he gains millions of fans. A fan of his is the pretty bookstore owner Pooja Saxena, who frequently writes fan letters.
Aman goes to Ooty for a business project where he meets Pooja. While he recognizes her from her letters, she doesn't know he is Saagar. They become friends, and Aman decides to reveal that he is Saagar. When some goons misbehave with Pooja, Aman tries to save her but is unable to. The police officer who arrives to avert the situation points out how Aman's disability hampered him from protecting Pooja from the goons. Considering himself unworthy of Pooja, he doesn't reveal that he is Saagar.
Aakash comes to Ooty too and falls in love with Pooja. Aakash is unaware that Aman is the real Saagar and writes shayaris and poems. Aman introduces Aakash as Saagar, and Pooja is overjoyed. Gradually, Aakash gets tired of posing as a poet. He also learns that Aman is the real Saagar and that he loves Pooja. Aakash confronts Aman and brings Pooja to meet him. Pooja tells Aman that she would have loved him if he had revealed his true identity at the outset. Eventually, Aakash decides to sacrifice his love. Pooja realizes that she truly loves Aman (Saagar).
Aamir Khan was offered Aman's role but refused as he did not connect with the role. Sanjay Dutt's was finalized.
