Saajan Page #3

Synopsis: Aman (Sanjay Dutt) is a poor, handicapped orphan who is befriended by wealthy Akash Verma (Salman Khan) during his childhood. Akash's parents adopt him and give him their family name, and Akash and Aman grow up as brothers. While Akash is a womanizer, Aman takes to writing poems under the pen name Sagar. The poems get published, and Aman becomes very popular. One of his fans is a young woman by the name of Pooja Saxena (Madhuri Dixit), who corresponds with Sagar. Akash meets Pooja and falls head over heels in love with her. When Aman comes to know this, he asks Akash to pose as Sagar, which he does, and Pooja and Akash fall in love with each other. A heartbroken Aman looks on, as he knows that although women may like his poetry, they will never come out openly and love him when they see his handicap. At the end, Akash discovers that Aman is actually Sagar and loves Pooja, so he decides to sacrifice his love for Aman.

- What happened...

l once had a picture taken.

The positive appeared negative.

The photographer told me...

You'll become an ape in Vellore.

- Can you cook well?

- Yes sir.

My parents were good cooks.

Once you eat food cooked by me

you'll lick your fingers.

You cook very well.

You should join a 5 star hotel.

You're pulling my leg.

Here, wash your hands.

- Is there any good market nearby?

- Sure.

Just 5 minutes away.

- What do you get there?

- Shoes.

- What nonsense!

- Listen to the rest.

Shoes, clothes, fruits, everything.

What do you want?

l want some books.

- Is there any book stall?

- Book and stall too.

- The owner is incomparable.

- What do you mean?

Her name is Pooja, but deeds othewise.

Are you responsible for everybody?

Then why did you pay the rent

for Asha's shop?

That gangster was troubling her.

l thought you'd be happy

we could help somebody.

But l get scared when you

start preaching to a hoodlum.

You make a mountain out of a molehill.

Pass me the books. l'll put them away

Do you have the latest Newsweek?

Sure. Come in.

Mother! Pass the books.

A little more space.

She's much more

beautiful than l imagined!

- Did you say something?

- No.

l want some editions of poets.

lf you won't feel hurt may l say

something? Everyone has his choice.

But have you ever read Sagar's work?

Who the hell is he?

Haven't you heard of him?

He's a famous poet of these times.

l'm sure you'll like his work.

What can these poets of today write!

They steal drops from the works of

famous poets and become oceans!

No knowledge of the sound of

anklets yet write about it!

l won't take it lightly if

you speak one word against Sagar!

- What will you do?

- l won't give these books.

Looks like you...

What's the poet's name?

Looks like you like him too much.

Yes l do! None of your business!

l mean you are flying off

the handle for no reason.

l take back my words.

Now give me the books.

lf Sagar's new edition

is included in this...?

Then you'll even get a discount!

How much is the bill

after deducting the discount?

Rupees 40 for the books,

10 as discount. That's 30.

Seems new to our city.

- Looks like a stranger.

- An interesting stranger.

You don't know Sagar?

He's a famous poet of these times.

l'm sure you will like his work.

But why are you laughing?

l'm laughing because you're laughing.

lt's great fun!

The phone is ringing.

lt's the door.

- Who is it?

- Somebody from Bombay for you.

- When did you come?

- This morning.

- How are mother, Dad, Akash?

- Fine. They miss you.

- l too miss them.

- Hope you have no problems here.

lf he has any problems,

l'll sort it out.

l have a very long name.

- Get some tea for him.

- In a minute.

Now who has come!

There are some maps and papers in this

See them and try to understand.

Good day sir. Come in and sit.

How can l serve you?

- Get me first class tea.

- We don't serve it.

Then do you serve third class tea?

We serve no class of tea.

We only have...

Does every tea here carry Ram's name?

Yes. What is that sir?

l'm Bajrangbali's devotee.

You tell me whose devotee he was.

- Ram's. - Yes.

That's why tea carries his name!

So get me one Rampyari.

Get one Rampyari for sir.

Can l get a paper and pen?

Here you are.

- One tea.

- Get a tea for sir.

So back on the same path?

To the same destination?

Who are you?

l'm your reflection, your conscience.

l want to bring what's in

your heart to your tongue.

That you love Pooja intensely.

And that love for her has

created a storm in your heart.

And your heart has accepted her.

You worshipped her and now

she's the purpose of your life.

You are right.

l love her too much.

Then why don't you tell her?

Some day l will.

l'll tell her l'm her Sagar!

Have some sweets dear.

- What for?

- Because my shop is doing very well.

Really? How come?

- Thanks to you.

- Thanks to me?

A stranger comes to my shop everyday.

And drinks 30-40 cups

of tea by evening.

How am l involved?

Actually his eyes are on your shop.

Eyes here, tea there.

And the total rupees 30.25

So this is the matter!

Let that 30.25 come.

l'll teach him such a lesson

that he'll forget to drink tea!

Then what about my business?

Don't worry. Call me when he comes.

That l'll do but keep

the honor of these sweets.

Lord! What difficulty

have you gotten me into!

What have l done!

Ruined my own business!

Lord! Save this foolish man!

- How are you?

- The Lord is kind.

The stranger has come!

So what's the latest news?

l've heard the weather

outside is terrible!

Dark clouds are gathering.

Clouds are going to burst.

Lightning is going to strike.

There are chances of terrible rain!

Great! Exceptional!

Listen to what Sagar says.

A picture is painted

in my heart since ages.

My destiny sits in

the shade of your tresses.

That book stall girl was right.

Listen to what else he has written.

As far as my vision..

l see only you, just you.

l see you every moment.

lt's only the jeweller who

knows the value of the diamond.

l'm reciting Sagar's poems to you

and you're not concentrating.

l meant to ask which

era did he write in?

- And where does he live?

- in my own city.

And because of that l do meet him.

lt's after coming here

that l learnt he writes well.

Didn't you know before that?

That's a sign of greatness.

They never proclaim their greatness.

Sagar, you turned out to

be deeper than the ocean!

Now when l meet you,

l'll kiss your hand and say..

What will you say?

You are great!

One fantastic Rampyari for him from me

- Why the formality?

- Because you know Sagar.

You belong to the same city,

you move in the same circles.

And l'm his fan.

lf you know Sagar, why did you

abuse him in my shop?

l wanted to test the

limits of your love.

By the way how do you know him?

Through letters and his poems.

Tell me something else about him.

Ask me something else about him.

- How does he look?

- He's smart and young.

Really? Can't you

introduce me to him?

Definitely but on one condition.

That you'll show me

this beautiful place.

Because l'm new to this area.

ls that all?

So it's a promise?

Mother, this is Aman.

Have you come here for sight seeing?

My Dad is constructing a hotel

here. l'm here in that regard.

What a fool l am! l forgot to

tell you he knows Sagar very well.

Now you're in deep trouble!

- l don't understand.

- Neither do l.

God knows why she is crazy for him!

Now she'll drive you mad

talking about Sagar all the time!

You've started off again!

l'll show you our house.

This is Billu's room.

That's mother's room.

And there's our prayer room.

And that's the guest room.

And this is my room.

See the view from here.

Everything looks so beautiful.

Yes, it's truly beautiful.

lf Kashmir is heaven on earth,

this place is our heaven!

This place has made me

forget heaven on earth!

You're wondering why

the frame is blank.

This frame is waiting
