The songs ❤️

The movie was idiotic though, in love with someone without even meeting them 😐

She was in love with his poetry, they learned a lot about each other through letters. That's much more than just fan's blind love.

Frankly, the only song from that movie that I love is Mera Dil Bhi...

SPB was so good singing for Salman

I was shocked knowing that Buhat Pyar Karte Hain is stolen from a Pakistani song...but nonetheless, the entire album is amongst the best in BW.

The film was completed within 36 days, something unheard of at that time.

The film's story line was inspired by a incident in writer Reema Rakesh Nath's life. She was signed for the film Jawani Deewani and met with a terrible accident. She broke her leg in two places. She needed a rod in her leg. Her collar bone was broken and she got 11 stitches on her face. There was a fear she would walk with a limp for the rest of her life. The doctor was worried about Reema. Being young and unmarried, he wondered if any boy would marry her. This is how Sanjay Dutt's character Aman was born.

Aamir Khan was the initial choice of Aman/Sagar, and while he liked the script and thought the movie would go on to be a blockbuster, he did not connect with the role to his satisfaction.

Ayesha Jhulka was signed for the film but on the first day of shooting, she was down with a high fever. Due to her ill health, Madhuri Dixit stepped in her role.

SP Balasubramanyam sung for Salman Khan and Kumar Sanu had sung for Sanjay Dutt's character.

Kumar Sanu won his second Filmfare award for the song Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai.

Saajan remains one of the biggest blockbuster of director Lawerence Dsouza he went on to make many films but they did not do well.

Laxmikant Berde sings Jhumma Chumma De De in a scene, surprisingly the song had created problems between Sanjay and Amitabh those days.

Jeeye Toh Jeeye had two versions one solo sung by Pankaj Udhas whereas the other song was duet between Kumar Sanu,Anuradha Paudwal ,SP Balsubramanium and Pankaj Udhas.

Major portion of the horror film Raaz 2002 including the climax was shot at forest location shown in the song Dekha Hai Pehli Baar.

Reema Lagoo was few years older to Salman Khan though she played his mother.

2017 movie Bareily ki Barfi had a plot very similar to Saajan

During the filming of this movie Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit came closer to each other and talks of their alleged affair started.

Dekha Hain Pehli Baar was remixed in the album Bollywood Breaks Vol. 1 as Dekha Hai Pehli Baar (Watch Me) by Kami K, S.P. Balasubrahmanyam, Alka Yagnik and Courageous B, Drilla Kid.

Sudhakar Bokade had initially signed Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar - Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma (Laxmikant-Pyarelal) to score the movie.

The film was Salman Khan's first movie released theatrically in Canada . It was played in a re run in 1992. Indian movies had stopped releasing in theatre's in 1982.Salman Khan's first two new movies released in the theatre in Canada were Dil Tera Aashiq and Chandramukhi. Both movies were released on the same day.

First movie of Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt together.

The Music of this album was a blockbuster with many popular songs such as Dekha Hai Pheli Baar, Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai, Jiye Toh Jiye Kyse and Bahut Pyar Karte Hai.

Nadeem Shravan won the Filmfare best music director awards.

Jeeya Te Jeeya Ft : Amit Tandon was a Punjabi version of the Jeeye To Jeeye Kaise.

Bahaut Pyar Karte Hain was remixed in Bollywood Breaks Vol. 1 as Bahaut Pyar Karte (2 Much Love) by White Rascul, Anuradha Paudwal.

Neeta Puri was signed for the role of Manehka which was later played by Ekta.

First time three big stars Madhuri Dixit ,Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan worked together.

Bahut Pyar Karte Hai Sanam had two versions male version sung by Kumar Sanu and Female version by Anuradha Padwal.

After the film released, Sudhakar Bokade and Subhash Ghai almost ended up in a brawl at a party. A very drunk Subhash Ghai saw Sudhakar Bokade and pointed at him. He then yelled at him " Hey boy bring me a drink now" . The on lookers were shocked with Ghai's behavior. Bokade went up to Ghai and told him to get his own drink by himself. This is when Ghai started hurling verbal abuses at him. Bokade later stated he would not have minded getting a drink for Ghai if he had asked politely and not pointed at him rudely in front of everyone. Bokade stated Ghai was upset that Saajan was a bigger hit than Saudagar and he was bitter about this. Thus he used the party incident to redeem himself.

While the film was completed in April 1991 the director Lawrence D'souza felt there was something still missing in the soundtrack. He then went to music directors nadeem-shravan and asked for a peppy number. This is how the title song "dekha hai pehli baar" was made which would be one of the top songs of nadeem-shravan's illustrious career. One cannot even imagine the film without this song however it almost happened!

The song Pehli baar mile hain...' from Saajan compsoed by Nadeem Shravan. The original is 'Solitude Standing' by Suzanne Vega.
