And for all Salman fanatics in India, there is no better way to celebrate your favourite matinee idol’s birthday than by indulging in Salman movie mania.
We list out the top 10 Salman movies worth watching this week.
Maine Pyar Kiya
Salman Khan made a swashbuckling entry in Bollywood as the quintessential Bollywood romantic hero ready to give his arm to win his lady love in this Sooraj Barjatya film. Salman’s handsome innocence, newcomer Bhagyashree’s virgin charm and a young Sooraj’s masterly direction made the movie a runaway hit. And when Salman lip-synced to SP Balasubramanium’s silky South Indian-accented Mere rang mein, female audience just swooned in collective delight.
Saajan
The 90s saw Salman flourish as an actor and Saajan was one of those films that helped him build his repertoire. Pairing up with then reigning diva Madhuri Dixit and his close buddy Sanjay Dutt, Salman played the role of a lover who finds himself torn between true friendship and true love. Finally, friendship triumphs with Salman sacrificing his lady love for friend, Sanjay. Saajan till date remains one of the best love triangles made in Bollywood. Replete with melodious songs, Salman displayed his nimble footed moves in the popular number, Dekha hai pehli baar.
Baaghi
Salman started his trend of working with female newcomers with this movie. South Indian beauty Nagma made her debut on this intense love story which saw Salman falling in love with a poor girl forced into prostitution and fighting tooth and nail to keep her safe. The movie was a sleeper hit.
Hum Aapke Hain Koun
India’s biggest ever wedding drama was created on celluloid by Sooraj Barjatya and his blue-eyed boy, Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit. The movie ran housefull for months and became the highest earning blockbuster. Weddings in India underwent a change after the lavishness displayed in the movie.
Karan Arjun
Rakesh Roshan indulged in a casting coup of sorts when he got SRK and Salman to play lead roles in his reincarnation drama. Bromance after Sholay got a new meaning as Salman and SRK whipped up palpable chemistry onscreen. Rakhee’s Mere Karan Arjun aayenge still remains immortal.

Wanted
This film resurrected Salman Khan’s career in Bollywood after the personal turmoil he went through between 2000 to 2008.

Dabangg
