A look at some of his best films of 'Bhaijaan'

 
Hum Aapke Hain Koun...!

This musical romantic drama film was written and directed by Sooraj Barjatiya. Salman Khan as Prem consistently receives special recognition for a tale that has stood the test of time and is still regarded as a favourite among lovers of Hindi cinema. Salman, who starred alongside Madhuri Dixit, was endearing as usual, bringing his own quirky touches to everything he did.

 

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam 

'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' was a classic because Salman as Sameer presented a very strong argument for the love narrative, which was so sophisticated for its period. Salman performed in roles with different cast ensembles, something that most celebrities would have avoided at the time. And in doing so, amassed a devoted following.
 

Tiger Zinda Hai
