The beloved Bollywood romantic drama 'Saajan' has completed 34 glorious years since its release in 1991. Starring Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, and Madhuri Dixit, the film's milestone anniversary has sparked a wave of nostalgia online, with fans and film buffs revisiting its memorable moments and iconic promotional photos.
Throwback Photos Steal the Spotlight
As the film celebrates this milestone, a series of promotional photos from the early 90s have resurfaced and gone viral. One candid picture captures a brotherly moment between Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt, standing close with genuine smiles. The image is a perfect time capsule, showcasing their classic 90s mullet hairstyles, bold printed shirts, and relaxed body language.
Another cherished image features the full trio. Madhuri Dixit stands gracefully between the two actors, dressed in a bright pink salwar kameez. Salman and Sanjay, flanking her, are seen in oversized patterned shirts paired with high-waisted trousers, epitomizing the fashion of the era. These visuals have reminded audiences why 'Saajan' remains one of the most cherished love triangles of its time.
A Friendship and Legacy Forged on Screen
'Saajan', directed by Lawrence D'Souza, was more than just a hit film; it helped solidify off-screen bonds. Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt's camaraderie, evident in 'Saajan', was later seen again in the film 'Chal Mere Bhai'. Their on-screen partnership became a fan favourite.
Similarly, the iconic pairing of Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan extended beyond this film. The duo worked together in several other successful projects, including 'Dil Tera Aashiq', 'Hum Aake Hain Koun...!', and 'Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam'. The film's supporting cast also included notable names like Karisma Kapoor, Sonali Bendre, and Twinkle Khanna.
Where Are the Stars Now?
While fans reminisce about the past, the stars of 'Saajan' continue to make waves in the present. Salman Khan is gearing up for the highly anticipated film 'Battle of Galwan'. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the movie is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese militaries and is scheduled for release on April 17, 2026.
Sanjay Dutt was last seen in the blockbuster 'Dhurandhar', directed by Aditya Dhar. The film also featured an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal.
Madhuri Dixit remains active with selective projects and television appearances. She is set to return to the small screen after three years with the series 'Mrs Deshpande', which began streaming on JioHotstar from December 19.
The enduring love for 'Saajan', 34 years on, is a testament to its timeless story, memorable music, and the enduring star power of its legendary trio. The film continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Bollywood enthusiasts, proving that some stories of love and friendship only grow richer with time.
