Saajan Page #5

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 if he is lame or cripple like me?

l don't like this kind of joke!

We'll talk about it later.

But do you agree with my decision?

- What do you say?

- Yes.

Today l'm going to give you the

gift you've been wanting for years.

Do you recall l once

made you a promise?

That l'd introduce you

to Sagar someday?

Friends today l wish to present

my friend, a famous poet to you.

He will sing his own

composition before you.

- You?

- Yes the same blind bat.

Why didn't you tell me then

that you were Sagar?

lf you had time to get up,

then l'd tell you.

Shall we go home?

Meet him. He's Sagar.

She's my friend Renu.

Sagar is the name l write poems

with. My name is Akash Verma.

Pleased to meet you.

So am l but very little.

Because she's the most happy.

She'd talk of you night and day.

You have to be naughty!

l'll wait for you in Garden

Court tomorrow evening at 6.

Excuse me. Water.

Excuse me.

What's the time?

The best time to romance.

Don't disturb me.

Not your fault. In your shoes

l probably would do the same.

Keep a jug here.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

Either that man is born thirsty

or he comes from a desert!

When will she come?

She will come. Positively.

She won't go anywhere

without coming here.

What's his problem?

About 4 years ago his beloved

promised to meet him here.

But she never turned up

Initially he's drink water like you.

Now he drinks liquor.

l hope l don't turn to be like him!

- Go.

- l'm nervous!

Your aim is there. Now l'm ofl!

- Come with me.

- Why?

l'm scared. My heart is beating.

lt's running faster than the Rajdhani

- Where are you going?

- You're very cruel!

l'm dying of fright and

you're cracking jokes!

ln the field of love, beauty and

Iove have to confront each other alone

- Just jump in!

- No!

Come in and sit.

- Get 3 coflees quick.

- In a minute.

Are you so busy these days

that you have no time for friends?

That's not true. Actually the

hotel work has increased so much..

There's no time.

He's learnt only 2 things

from Dad. To work real hard.

And earn lots of money!

lt's each one's destiny.

Somebody is destined to work.

And somebody is destined to relax.

- Destiny reminds me...

- Of what?

On page 26 of Diwane-Sagar,

you've written a couplet on fate.

- On fate?

- Yes. Recite it.

- Page 26?

- Yes.

Yes it is on page 26!

You are mistaken.

It is impossible!

Mistaken? l?

l remember every word that

you've ever written!

Why argue on the page?

Just recite the couplet.

- Remember?

- Yes.

Hot coflee.

- Sir coflee for you.

- Destiny!

Yes, Amitabh Bachhan's film!

l'm going in. Have coflee.

What's wrong? Why is the needle

of your voice stuck at this poem?

Actually... it's my voice...

Stupid you recited those lines to

me this morning. Have you forgotten?

My Maker, you left no stone unturned.

Ultimately each man

gets what's in his fate.

How surprising! You wrote

these lines but he remembers it.

l can't help it. Since l saw you

l've forgotten myself not just poems.

lt's very late. l must leave.

l'll drop her home.

Do come home soon as you have time.

Today l was saved by

the skin of my teeth!

lf you hadn't recited the poem,

my cover would have been blown!

This Sagar has made my life hell!

We'll have to do something about him.

Let's ask some gangster

to knock him off!

Why get involved?

As it is he's a heart patient.

You mean one leg in the grave

and one on the banana peel?

l'm off to Bombay.

To push the other foot in the grave.

You've got Pooja's love due to him.

Then what do we do about this rascal?

You'll have to memorize all his poems.

l'll give you the books.

- Will l have to do this too?

- People gave their lives for love.

You can't learn some poems?

When the breeze lilts,

l feel it is you.

Lovely!

When some bough shyly bends low...

l feel it is you.

lt's a question of love.

Good grief! He's coming!

Listen if l've learnt it well.

Get up! Listen!

Let me sleep. l'm very sleepy.

You learn poems all night,

l'll hear them in the morning.

You make me a poet,

keep me awake at nights.

You sleep making excuses!

- Isn't this a poem?

- Let me sleep.

l don't understand where

to draw the line.

- What a shade of love!

- What do you mean?

Her love has made you

quite responsible.

Trunk call from Bombay.

- How are you?

- Fine and you and mom?

Very well. How's the work progressing?

- going on.

- How is Akash the trouble maker?

Helping with the work.

Here, talk to him.

- Forget about me. What about you?

- Don't worry about me.

My work is my worship (Pooja)

and worship is my work!

Good! That's what l expect from you

Let me know if there's any problem.

The one you thought was useless is

working hard. Work is worship he says

- After all he's my son!

- That's the sad part.

- Sad part?

- Feel proud of him!

l know him well! He must have

found a girl to go around with!

- That must be his work!

- Why do you scare me?

Akash won't go wrong

when he's with Aman.

Staying with him someday

he'll learn his responsibility.

l pray to God that they

remain bound in friendship forever.

Nothing should ever separate them.

- Pray from my side too.

- Why can't you do that?

- He won't listen to me.

- Because you're Akash' Dad?

No because l'm his mom's husband.

What was so urgent that

you couldn't tell me over the phone?

And called me here?

l need your help to solve a problem.

How do l tell you?

One coflee. What will you have?

How did you come here?

l'm staying in Hotel Skyrow with

friends. You left without telling me

l have so many fans. Can't tell

everyone where l'm going!

Lovely toy to while time.

- Go ahead...

- Come on.

- Listen to me.

- l don't want to!

Don't you dare touch me!

Who was that girl?

Whether Menaka or Suparnakha,

who was she to you?

- Your niece, aunt?

- She was my fan.

lf she's a fan she should hang

from the ceiling not your neck!

- How do l explain to you?

- There's no need!

All men are alike!

See a girl and there they go!

Really! There's a limit to suspicion!

l wanted you to solve my problem.

Instead you've created a problem!

- What could be your problem?

- l'll tell you if you sit in peace.

- Yes?

- l have a good friend.

He loves a girl so much that he

used another name to attain her.

Another man's name?

- Why? - Because that was

the only way he could get her.

- So what's the problem?

- Now he is scared.

lf she finds out the truth,

she'll neither love nor respect him.

Tell me what should he do?

l think your friend should

tell the girl the truth.

Does your friend really love her?

- Yes.

- So does the girl?

- She does.

- Then she will be his!

Then l'll write to him today itself.

You might not forgive me

after reading this letter.

l have deceived you.

l set out to build a castle of sand

but l forgot the waves would erase it.

l'm that unfortunate man who

in spite of having his own identity..

To make place in his beloved's heart..

He took the support of another name.
