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.

When l heard about this...

l came here to pull his ears.

Then he spoke about you.

That you belong to his town.

He meets you daily.

And my anger dissipated.

And he talked about you right here.

And promised to introduce you to me.

Why would Aman sit here

and watch Pooja's shop?

As far as l know, Aman does

not know any poet named Sagar.

And if he did, he'd never hide

this fact from his best friend!

- What happened?

- l have to go.

- Let the rain stop.

- It's already very late.

lf it gets any later,

it will be terrible!

Dear Sagar Sir, Hello.

Let me introduce myself.

l am Pooja. l study in

Wilson College in Ooty.

And l'm a fan of your poetry

which l often read to my friends.

When they appreciate it,

my heart dances with joy.

You are the true recipient of the

fame l earn by singing your songs.

Because the poem was one of yours.

Sending a cutting of the picture of

me with the prize and a gift for you.

Aman Sir alias Sagar,

greetings from Anees.

Congratulations on your success.

Your new novel Toofane-Sagar

is a resounding success.

l send its royalty to Father

D'Mello's school on time.

Your partner in secret.

Maybe you'll never forgive me

after knowing the truth.

Then forget me as a dream.

And if you forgive me,

l'll assume you accept my love.

Now l understand why

Pooja kept thinking l'm Sagar.

You murdered your friend's love!

You poisoned your friend's life!

You are a blur in

the name of friendship

That blur can't be erased by God! No!

- Keep the bottle here.

- No, you've had enough.

Do as l say.

Keep the bottle here.

Tell me one thing.

Does this bottle contain the

same liquor that the label shows?

Definitely.

But if the label was different

from the liquor inside it...?

How can that be possible?

- It is not but if it is?

- It would be cheating.

Cheating!

How wonderful!

This is cheating friend.

The label is different.

The wine in it is different.

The one drinking is in the dark.

The one giving it is in the dark.

The maker is a cheat.

Why did you do this?

What's wrong with him?

- What a state you're in!

- You?

What's wrong with me?

Just a mix-up of labels.

Look at this, l came for its' support

- But it let me down.

- Let's go.

- Who is it?

- It's me.

l thought it was Akash.

He's a colorlul man.

He must be enjoying somewhere.

Why are you ruining you sleep?

Eat dinner and go to bed.

l'll wait for Akash.

l said l'd wait. l'm used to it.

What happened?

Where were you? Are you all right?

Now l'm fine.

- But what's wrong?

- Cheating.

Who knows for the love of what

he kept serving me unlabeled wine.

l got intoxicated. In my shoes,

anybody would be in this state.

Wrong label, cheating...

What is all this?

The answer to that is in my eyes.

When you read my eyes,

you'll find the answer yourself.

What do you want me

to read in your eyes?

You are still intoxicated.

Look at your clothes?

Why do you do all this?

Do you know l haven't slept

all night worrying about you?

l called up everywhere. Pooja

too didn't know where you were.

Just tell me where you were stuck.

The place where l should

probably remain stuck forever!

Are you the same Akash?

No, l am not him.

Because the clouds over

the sky have dispersed.

And l can see everything clearly

in the streaming sun light.

l don't believe my own eyes

but l did see it.

- Who is it? Chameli?

- Pooja here.

- Can l speak to Akash?

- He isn't home.

- Where has he gone?

- Don't know. Didn't tell me.

- And Aman?

- He's gone to the site.

l always swam but it's

great fun swimming with you.

Your talks are more

intoxicating than you!

Talking to you gives me a high.

What's wrong?

You change colors like a chameleon.

You were so romantic now and

the mood has gone? What's wrong?

Go to the room. l'll join you.

Forgive me Pooja.

l'll never forgive you!

Did you have to play with my life?

You were right but

l still can't believe it!

Sagar can't be like this!

Be brave.

l am shattered!

Aman here. May l talk to Pooja?

lt's Aman on the line.

Aman here. Did you meet Akash?

- No.

- Why didn't you?

There's no need now.

lt's more diflicult to pretend

to love than to hate somebody.

Not only are you deceiving me

but also Pooja and yourself.

Deception! Can you tell me

my importance in your life?

What do you think of me?

A mere pawn in your game of love?

Whom you can use as

and when you please!

The one who is a

pawn in life's hands...

...can't treat any one as a pawn!

By your behavior you are shaming

yourself in Pooja's and my eyes.

Why do you want to use

one woman against another?

Are you so depraved that you

are not worthy of anyone's love?

Yes, l've fallen in my own eyes!

l'm that con man who borrows

some one's name and attacks him!

My life is in such a mess that

anybody trying to untangle it...

... will get knotted up like you.

Leave me alone.

You may never have

considered me your friend.

But l always treated you so.

When the ache in the heart

increases man drowns in it and dies.

lf not love, we can share pain.

l wish you could understand.

Wear these. They belong to our family

They are given to the bride

who comes to our house.

Now on they are yours.

l've noticed for some days

you are always lost.

What is the matter?

Nothing at all. Everything is fine.

lt isn't. You may hide

your pain from the world.

But not from your mother.

Because this relation of

pain began at that point...

...when l gave birth to you.

Who can understand your

pain better than me?

Take a hold on yourself.

Everything will be all right.

We were having such fun inside.

Why did you come out here?

l don't enjoy anything these days.

Excellent. What a

wonderlul way to romance.

The same old trick. Neither have

you changed nor has your love.

Only the faces changed.

But you stayed in your place.

One should learn romance from you.

lsn't she your fan from Bombay?

- What is she saying?

- Her only fault is ...

She is too innocent.

l told her a small lie.

That l'm her Sagar.

And she believed it.

- l hate you!

- If you don't believe me...

Go and ask Aman Verma.

No, he can't do this!

lf he won't can l do it?

Go and ask him. He's done it.

l'm not your Sagar.

Keep this. May come handy.

No, don't stop her.

She's going to meet her Sagar.

Even nature is with you today.

At least you can hide

your face in the dark!

Maybe you wouldn't be able

to meet my eyes in the light.

- But...

- l revealed my heart to you.

l thought you were a

good friend, my confidante.

l admired you and your friendship.

But you let down my trust!

What a response you gave

to my friendship!

l kept getting cheated

and you quietly watched the show!

Not only watched, you auctioned

my love in the market place!

What gave you the right to bring

your loafer friend in to my life?

Treated me like a toy, played when

you felt like it and then discarded!

Why did you do this?

What did you get by lying?
