"It's a Salman Khan film." That makes an impact that no other film can make. People flock to the theatres to see a Salman Khan film because they know they are going to get quality. Quality songs, quality acting, a quality plot, and best of all Salman Khan! So here's wishing the birthday boy a happy birthday and presenting his blockbuster movies (whether by box office or by critics)! A special mention will be made at the end of his very amazing TV show hosting.
Biwi Ho To Aisi
Making his debut in this movie, Salman was quickly noticed for his funny dancing style. His entry had him standing on his bed and dancing like Michael Jackson. Playing a second lead in the movie, Salman gave the movie his 110% and there was no turning back for him. Presenting his entry...

Maine Pyaar Kiya
His debut film as a hero, Maine Pyaar Kiya has become one of the biggest hits of the century. This film presented a romantic style not often seen during that time. Salman played the role of Prem (which later went on to become his favourite on-screen name), a boy who just wanted to be friends with a girl. His dialogue, "Dosti main no thank you, no sorry" and the signature "Friends" were a rage after the movie was released and still are very present today. Since it's hard to choose one scene from that film, here's presenting the full movie.

Baaghi: A Rebel for Love
This film was based on an idea that Salman gave. Exploring a topic not often seen at this time in the film industry, Baaghi was about two lovers, where Salman was the lazy son of a colonel and the heroine was a girl from a respectable family kidnapped and forced into prostitution. How these two lovers meet, fall in love, run away, and then get married forms the crux of the story.

Patthar Ke Phool
Playing his first police officer role on screen, Salman played the role of a serious officer who falls in love with the daughter of a criminal. The criminal attempts to reform his ways, but his men kill Salman's father and frame the criminal. How Salman finds his father's killers and what happens after that, forms the rest of the rest. The best part of this film can easily be said to be the song Kabhi Tu Chhalia Lagta Hai. The song's lyrics are written with movie names and it is a one-of-a-kind song. You can decide for yourself if you agree or not.

Saajan
The first film in which Salman and Sanjay appear together, this movie is about two brothers falling in love with the same girl. And no, that isn't the full plot. In the movie, Sanjay plays the role of a lame orphan, who Salman's parents adopt and treat as their own son. He is a great writer who rights under the pen name, Sagar, and the girl is a huge fan and lover of Sagar. Scared that he will be rejected because he is lame, Sanjay tells his younger brother Salman to act as if he is Sagar, thus creating the real story. Salman and Sanjay went on to become a much-touted pair.

The movie is a laugh riot and even today, viewers can watch the film and laugh as much as they want. Andaz Apna Apna is a classic movie that can be watched with anyone and anywhere.

Hum Aapke Hain Kaun
Madhuri and Salman's second movie together, this movie has all the emotions you need and want. You can cry, you can laugh, you can get angry, you can smile, you can celebrate a wedding, you can sit on the edge of seat in tension, and you can enjoy a true Salman and Sooraj Barjatya movie. Yep that's Hum Aapke Hain Kaun for you. Salman was touted for his role in the movie and the movie soon went on to become the fourth-highest earner of all time and it also won 5 Filmfare and 1 National Award. One of the highlights of the film was its masti-bhara song, Didi Tera Devar Deewana, which is a staple song for all weddings since then. No wedding is ever complete without this song and Joote Do Paise Lo. The songs of this movie are all very famous in their own sense, but here's presenting the two most famous songs of the movie.

Karan Arjun
The first Salman and SRK movie, this movie is a mix of a musical, religion, and action. It was a film on reincarnation of 2 brothers who are killed by their Kans mama. They return as strong "warriors" who fall in love and also kill their Kans mama. Rakhee's line "mere Karan Arjun aayenge" may be ridiculed today, but the movie was a huge success and was the second biggest hit of the year. Salman was nominated for the Best Actor Award at Filmfare. His bhangra was most appreciated in the movie as it really showed the calibre of Salman's dancing skills, which he and others may not have noticed before.
