Trivia

Deepak Tijori claimed that Sooraj Barjatya signed him for the film but later dropped him for Salman Khan. Deepak said Sooraj had to pick a performer, which was him, or a good looker which was Salman. Sooraj picked Salman over Deepak due to his handsome looks. Deepak mentioned that Sooraj said he could train Salman to act, but couldn't do anything with Deepak's non hero looks.

User Reviews

Best Salman Khan film

This is one of the Best Films of all time. It won several awards including Best Film of the year. Salman Khan did a fabulous job in the movie that launched him into a superstar. The same cannot be said for the actress Bhagyashree, who has disappeared from Bollywood after she got married. The movie is directed by Sooraj Barjatya who has given us great movies in the future like Hum apke hain kaun and Hum Saath saath hai. This is their Best to my opinion. The same cannot be said for Main prem ki deewani hoon which Flopped big time. Maine Pyar Kiya kind of gave birth to the successful Romantic Genre that took place in the 90s. It is full of great music including the Antakshari. I think the romance was amazing and the chemistry was great fun. It is an absolute family entertainer not to be missed.
